The North had the advantage, with its larger population of 22 million compared to the South's measly population of 5.5 million. This would provide a significant advantage because for the North as they had over 16 million more people, meaning that they would have more soldiers available to fight for their cause. 

Even though the North had more soldiers, the South had the advantage with more skilled and strategic generals. It's says that they have a "strong military tradition", which would mean that they have more experience in the battlefield.]]> 2017-05-17 13:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172331334 adomach https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172331353 Category chosen (population, transportation, military, food, or strategic)

The north out numbered the south as they had 22 million people and were able to draft almost half of the population. Where as the south only had 5.5 million people. The north also gained people because of propaganda allowing people to feel that they were fighting for their country and making sure that their country stays whole.

Another way the north had the advantage was that they had a superior railroad system allowing them to send supplies and troops around the 22,000 miles of track that they maintained and also began sabatashing the southern railroad that only spread across 9,000 miles.]]> 2017-05-17 15:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172365857 https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172365969 Transportation and population are the chosen categories. Since the North had a population of 22 million they could easily get soldiers compared to the South who only had 5 million. For transportation, the North had 22,000 miles of railroad track compared to the South who only had about 9,000 of track.]]> 2017-05-17 15:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172365969 https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172365978 The north had 22 million soldiers while the south only had 5.5 million people. The northern army could overwhelm the south because they had four times as many soldiers. They had four soldiers for every one southern soldier. With this advantage they could win battle through numbers a lot easier. The north also had the advantage with transportation. The north had 22,000 miles of railroad while the south only had 9,000 miles of railroad. With more railroad the north could transport their soldiers a lot quicker and farther . The north could also bring supplies to soldier security faster and even if they were far away they could still get the supplies to them. The south couldn't do nearly as much. So they found it a lot harder to get supplies to soldier and they also couldn't transport their soldiers and supplies nearly as far and quick.]]> 2017-05-17 15:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172365978 https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366068 Topics: Population and Transportation
-------------------
The Union has a much larger advantage than the Confederacy involving heir population. The Confederacy had a population of 5.5 million to draw soldiers from, but the Union had a population of 22 million to draw soldiers from, four times that of the Confederacy. This means the Unions army could easily overwhelm Confederate soldiers.

The Union also had a much larger advantage involving transportation. While the Confederacy had railroad tracks that spread across 9,000 miles, the Union over doubled that, with a railroad stretching 22,000 miles. This gave the Union the advantage because they could easily transport food, weapons, and soldiers a larger range of places.]]> 2017-05-17 15:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366068 https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366104 2017-05-17 15:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366104 https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366119 Transportation and Railways

During the Civil War, transportation was a problem for both the North and the South. Soldiers on their feet all day would soon become fatigued, and there shoes would fall to pieces after a couple of months of constant foot travel. That's why the North had a major advantage with it's expansive amount of non foot travel options and amounts. The Northern railways spanned around twenty-two thousand miles, while the South had a little more than a third of the amount of railway the North had with nine thousand miles. That's already had a huge advantage against the South, but still, the North had many southern flowing canals and roads. In the end, the North had a huge advantage against the South when referring to transportation.]]> 2017-05-17 15:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366119 https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366137 Category: Population-The North had the advantage since the population was 22 million which is more than 3 times the size of the confederacy. With this they had more soldiers to send into battle. The North was also easier to get people to fight in the war since they wanted to keep the union together. Puttting the population and the need to keep the union together, and you have more soldiers than the south could ever have.

Category: Transportation-The North had the advantage since they had 22,000 miles of railroad to send troops and supplies, while the south only had 9,000 miles. The North also had more roads to send supplies down. The railroad made it easier for the north to move supplies and soldiers into battle.]]> 2017-05-17 15:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366137 https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366233 Population and Transportation

The north had a big advantage because of the amount of soldiers they had to fight the war. Infact the north had a total of 22 million soldiers while the south had only 5.5 million.  But not only did the north have many more people to fight for them, they also had many sources of railroads, canals and and roads to use to transport their supplies for war such as all their weapons and even transport soldiers throughout the Northern Territory to protect their land from the south. Plus they even had 22,000 miles of railroads which really gave them an advantage in the civil war.]]> 2017-05-17 15:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366532 https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366716 The north because they had better resources and ammunition, which helped the north fight the south.]]> 2017-05-17 15:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172366716 https://padlet.com/adomach/4362gypd44ux/wish/172368513 Category: Population
