So I'm going to say that the north has the greater advantage because the north overpowered the south when it came to soldiers and railroad tracks. In part 2 it states, "The north could draw soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million compared with the south's 5.5 million." This shows that with as many as the north has they could easily overrule them in a lot of cases. In the same article it states "Some 22.,000 miles of railroad track could draw more sloldiers and supplies throughout the north. The south had only about 9,000 miles of track..." This piece of evidence also shows that the north overpowered then when it came to moving equipment and soldiers. ]]> 2017-05-18 15:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172605199 thug001 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172607457 I think that the Confederacy had the greater advantage in the Civil War. Reasons why I think they did is because they had stronger and smart officers to lead them. In part 2 it states, "With its strong military traditon, the south put many brilliant officers into battle." Another reason why I think they had the advantage that all they had to do was defend the south against the north. Part 2: "It needed only defend itself until the north grew tired of defending. Southern soldiers fought mostly on their home soil. Defending the Norths large army and their 22,000 miles of railroad tracks, I think the south had an advantage but a very small advantage.]]> 2017-05-18 15:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172607457 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172614902 The north unionists had greater advantages than the south confederacy. Population was a great advantage only if used strategically. At first the Confederecy had the "most brilliant minds" and used strategic moves to equal the power of the union army which was more than twice their size. But when the Unionist became aware of their situation a change was made and the north became more powerful and harder to attack and defend against. The north had also "9 times as much goods" and could  
Keep their men well treated and fed, with plentiful resources and weapons to provide an advantage. Therefor the many advantages of the North unionist caused them the greater advantage.]]> 2017-05-18 15:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172614902 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172627058 I believe that both sides had a pretty good chance on etheir side, but the North had the little bit better of an advantage with the railroad and the size of army's with the freeing of slaves." The north had some 22,000 railroads compared to the confederacy with 4,000 miles of railroad". This shows how much more of an advantage the north had towards the south with the part of being able to take troops from place to place in 2 days of train compared to 2 months of walking and diseases. There was also the factor of the size of each army with the south having less than half the size of the norths army." There were 22 milllion soldiers on the north compared to the 9 million on the south". This shows how the south had a huge disadvantage in the amount of men they had so they couldnt have out held them without getting taken out first.]]> 2017-05-18 16:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172627058 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172627428 The Union because they had better military tactics. They took control of the Mississippi River. They also had 22,000 miles of railroads. Lincoln used the telegraph to talk directly to the generals on the battlefields. They also had most of Americas banking and manufacturing in their region.]]> 2017-05-18 16:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172627428 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172627684 The North has the advantage. The North has "Some 22,000 miles of railroad track", which allows for faster movement of troops and supplies. The North also has "22 million" people they could draft as a last resort, compared to the south's 5.5 million. However, the south has strong military tradition, which would be fine if the north didn't have more guns and weaponry. The south did have much more food and food production. The south has the strategic advantage because the north was the occupying force. In total, the north has 3/5 of the advantages.]]> 2017-05-18 16:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172627684 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172628765 The north becuase of population and a goverment. It says," the north had 22,000 people and had a goverment. Therefore the north had a bigger advantage than the south.]]> 2017-05-18 16:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172628765 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172640027 The Union has the greater advantage because of population, government, the amount of resources, and  transportation. The text states, "Some 22,000 miles of railroad track could move soldiers and supplies throughout the North. The South had only about 9,000 miles of track. . ." This shows how much greater the amount of rail roads the Union had compared to the Confederacy. This means that the North could travel farther faster than the South with the railroads. In addition, the North had already had a government figured out, but the South had to figure out their government along with the money. With a greater population, the North also had the ability of more soliders which would help defeat the South. ]]> 2017-05-18 17:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172640027 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172652168 One of the Norths huge advantages were the population difference. The north had many more troops and resources which allowed them to outnumber the south. The north also had an advantage in transportation. It says "22000 miles of railroad track could move soldiers and supplies throughout the north, the south had about 9000 miles of track." This shows how the north had a major advantage in transportation. The South although outnumbered also had some advantages one being their generals. The souths generals were very good and intelligent generals a lot better than the north. They had better statages and ways to work around being out numbered. In the text it says the south generals had "brilliant minds" This shows one of the advantages of the south and how they used this to outsmart the north.]]> 2017-05-18 17:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172652168 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172652619 One Advantage for the north was a significantly larger population than the south. I know this because in the text it states "The north could draw soliders and workers from a pollution of 22 million compared to south shore 5.5 million." This is important because this gave a huge amdvantge to the north. For the fact that they had more people to fight, even if their are hundreds of deaths. A advantage of the south is that their geniales were highly intelligent. "Generals... most brilliant military minds America ever produced." Which gives them an advantage because they will hav better stragaties. A second major advantage for the North is transportation. Because in the text it states "The south  had some 22,000 miles of railroad track ...which could move soliders and supples."Which helped them have them transport many supplies for war and wounded soliders back home. Also for the south they had the war mostly all n their land. Therefor giving them a huge advantage because they knew how to get around things.]]> 2017-05-18 17:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172652619 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172654117 The North probably had the best advantage in the Civil War. They had the most railroad, the most amount of people, and the best manufacturing industry. Having the most amount of people was an advantage because it gave them a larger army. This would makes it much easier to outnumber the south. The manufacturing industry was important because it gave them more supplies and more money than the south. The amount of track the north had was a huge advantage for the union. It allowed them to ship soldiers and supplies all over. It let them get people around way faster. "Numbers tell an important story about the Civil War. Consider the North’s advantages. It could draw soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million, compared with the South’s 5.5 million. One of its greatest advantages was its network of roads, canals, and railroads. Some 22,000 miles of railroad track cold move soldiers and supplies throughout the North. The South had only about 9,000 miles of track." This quote shows that they had a very long railroad system, and it helped them ship more things around. It also shows how they had a lot more people than the south. ]]> 2017-05-18 17:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172654117 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172654259 The Union had the greater advantage because of Transportation and Population. Transportatio was easily in the Norths favor. The text said "Some 22,000 miles of railroad. " This was so important to the Union since they could transport supplies and soldiers. This meant that if there was a big war that took lost of supplies and soldiers the North could replenish quicker. The transportation advantage works hand in hand with the population advantage. The evidence is "Population of 22 million... the Souths 5.5 million." This evidence shows how outnumbered the Confederacy was. The North had a bigger advantage since they could get more soldiers quicker since they had a bigger population. This would allow them to stay ahead of the South. This links to the transportation since they could easily transport these new soliders.]]> 2017-05-18 17:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172654259 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172658989 The union had the greater advantage. One major way they had an advantage was through their population. In source number 2 it says, " The North could draw soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million." And it also says, " compared with the south side 5.5 million." This shows that the North had way more soldiers to fight with. They had the numbers. Also in source two it says," Some 22,000 miles of track could move soldiers and supplies through the North." And. "The south had only about 9,000 miles of track." This shows that the North had more railroad track to help them advance in the war. The south had the greater advantage.]]> 2017-05-18 18:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172658989 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172660982 The union had a greater advantage because of population and transportion . Transportion was greater in the north than the south. In the text it says that "some 22,000 miles of railroad" this is good for the north because they can transport soldiers and supplies to where the needed to be. If there was a war that made the union lose lots of supplies or even soldiers that they could get supplies and soldiers faster than the south. Population and Transportion work together in this advantage. The texts proves this by stating "the population of 22 million in the union while the 5 million for the Confederacy" this is showing how the union well outnumbered the Confederacy. These advantages of the north helped them by being able to get soldiers and supplies quicker than the south the bigger population also helped with this. These advantages would help the union stay far ahead of the Confederacy ]]> 2017-05-18 18:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172660982 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172661146 The union had a greater advantage due to the immense amount of railroad that they had. "Some 22,000 miles of railroad." With them having that much railroad made it much easier for them to transport lots of supplies that would take weeks just in 2 days. This also goes with their population advantage that helped transport lots of soldiers through the railroad. So the railroad for the union made the war a lot easier because the amount of soldiers they had and the amount of railroad just created such a good pair.]]> 2017-05-18 18:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172661146 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172661660 The union had the greater advantage because of the fact that they had more population, better guns and ammo supply, and that they had better resource availability.

In the text it says, "The north had 22,000 miles of railroad." This shows that because the North had the greater amount of railroad, they were able to send both healthy and injured soldiers into battle or to safety, along with new supplies.]]> 2017-05-18 18:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172661781 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172661976 The union has a greater advantage than the union had better ammo and more people which means more power..The history text within the room states, "...a massive advantage to industrial output. These factory-made goods included weapons of war..." this is important because it shows the union were more advanced with there industrial technology and production of weaponroy. The article states, the union has 22 million population and the south had only 5.5 million. This is important because it shows Th union could get more soldiers and workers.

In the sources it said "...had thousands more miles of railroad track...bring resources quickly." And that shows how they had an advantage because when a troop was low, or needed to travel quickly they could get the product many times faster than without the railroad. Also having the bigger population was a major advantage because in the sources it said for the confederacy "...side had a smaller population....in fact half the total size." And even that shows the advantage the North had because they had the recruitments the South did not, so when they needed back up it was there for them. ]]> 2017-05-18 18:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172667484 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172672959 The North had a better advantage because they had more access the railroads and they had a way bigger population. For example in the text it states "they had thousands more miles of railroad track..." this shows an advantage because railroad was very important in the civil war because it helps them with transportation. Also the north had a way higher population during the civil war for example in the text it states "it could draw a soilders and workers from a population of 22 million compared to souths 5.5 million." This shows a way higher population for north and a greater advantage for wars and more people to defend the norths people to the south people.

One reason why the north had a greater advantage is because they had a greater population to draft soldiers from. "Consider the North’s advantages. It could draw soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million, compared with the South’s 5.5 million." This quote shows the north had a larger population to select soldiers from. This gave the north the advantage because they could pound the south. They had so many soldiers that the south couldn't handle them. Their massive supply of troops allowed their army to be fresh. Another reason why the north had such a great advantage is because they had most of the nations wealth. "This side in the civil war controlled most all of the nation's wealth." This quote shows that the north controlled most of the nation's wealth. With all this money they could afford the best weapons. With the best weapons they could accurately kill them south's armies leading to a huge advantage. ]]> 2017-05-18 19:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172673595 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172673882 The North had the advantage in the Civil War. One of the two reasons why is because of their superior railroad system. The text states "Some 22,000 miles of railroad track... The South had only about 9,000 miles of track..." This textual evidence shows that the North had a clearly superior railroad system due to its about 13,000 more miles of railroad availability. Another reason why the Union was the superior force during the Civil War was because of its size. To show this, the text states "It (the North) could draw soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million, compared with the South's 5.5 million." This evidence explicitly provides clarity to how much larger the Union's force was in comparison to the Confederacy.]]> 2017-05-18 19:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172673882 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172674278 The north had the best advantage being that they had more than twice the amount of soldiers in the north than the south in the article it states that "It could draw soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million, compared with the South’s 5.5 million." Which means that the north could get more work done than the south could get done so they produced more bullets and weapons and they also had more men fighting than the south did also in station 3 it says "In fact it was less than half of the total size" showing that the north could get more done twice as fast as the south did]]> 2017-05-18 19:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172674278 rbartelt000 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172674472 Although the Confederacy had a higher quantity of advantages according to the paper, the Union were benefitted more out of the advantages that they had. For example, while the Confederacy had the advantage of battling on their own ground, the Union had 22,000 miles of railroad which benefitted them very much because they were easily able to transport soldiers and supplies. "One of its greatest advantages was its network of roads, canals, and railroads. Some 22,000 miles of railroad track cold move soldiers and supplies throughout the North.

For example, the railroad. In part one, it is stated that the North, "...could produce brung resources quickly when needed," to their troops. This way the Union never ran out of things such as supplies, weapons, and food. All of which are detrimental to an army. Also, with the advancement of the North's technological industry, they were able to capitalize on the use of the railroad. For example, "...factories in this region manufactured 9 times as much goods than the other." So, the north was able to use their resources to their full advantage in the war.  The Union was able to use advanced technology for that time, out-manufacture the south, and get it to their union troops.  With the minié ball being as dangerous as it was and the North having superior manufacturing, the death rates would have finally caught up to the south.  Pushing an eventual end to the war and a Northern victory.]]> 2017-05-18 19:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172674505 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172674784 The union had the greater advantage because of their population, miles of railrodads and their manufacturing. In part one the text says, "over 13,000 of rail crossed crossed this side..." And this shows how much resources they could receive. Also in part one it says, "...manufactured 9 times as much goods."

For example, the union had a widespread railroad system. "Some 20,000 miles of railroad track..." This information is important because it shows how the union rail system dwarfed the south s system by 11,000 miles! This shows how the union was able to transport food, weapons, am de other supplies to more locations and much faster.

Another reason was because of the Confederacy's military leaders. This is shown in the text by the quote, "With its strong military tradition, the South put many brilliant officers into battle." This shows that these leaders knew what they were doing, as the South had been winning the first part of the war. The Union also had advantages, including its population and transportation, as the population was "22 million, compared with the South's 5.5 million."  This was important because the North had about four times as many people to help with the war effort than the South.  Transportation was also an advantage since the North had "…22,000 miles of railroad track", while "the South had only about 9,000 miles of track." This was important because it could transport troops and supplies. However, the one last example why the South has more advantages is because of the strong agricultural environment. It allowed the South to get reliable rations to the troops. This is shown in the text by "Southern farms provided food for its armies." These rations were from the South to the South army, so they were more reliable than rations from elsewhere, since the South was an agricultural superpower.]]> 2017-05-18 21:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172688818 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172714260 The union (north) had more advantages. Even though the confederacy (south) had higher advantages at least showing from the papers.. the union had more and better advantages. "The south has only 9,000 miles of tracks" and the north "some 22,000 miles of railroad." This is showing the union had a greater advantage because they could transport things easier and probably faster. Also the population difference was huge.

In the text it says, It (the North) could draw workers and soldiers from a population of 22 million, compared with the South's 5.5 million." This was important because it allowed the Union to have more people on the battlefield. The second quote says, "Some 22,000 miles of railroad track could move soldiers and supplies... The South had only about 9,000 miles of track..." This was important because the Union could quickly and effectively move. The last quote says, "...manufactured 9 times as much goods as the other."

His reason connects to the other advantages like the north soldiers were very familiar with the turf they were located in. This means more strategy.

The first reason that the north had better advantages was because they had 4 times as many soldiers fighting." ...Population of 22 million." Also the south only had "5.5 million" which gives the union an advantage of lasting longer because of the amount of people fighting. The secco duchess reason that the union had better advantages was because the north had thousands rail road tracks " 22,000 miles of rail road" which is an advantage because they could transport people, food, clothes, and many other things to help them win the war. Although the confederacy had more advantages like the fact that" the south had brilliant officers" doesn't change the fact that the south (confederacy) had thousands of less men fighting. Also the south had a weak strategies like" the south only needed to defend itself untill the north grew tired of fighting" makes them sound lazy and they they didn't take the war as seriously as the north and that's why the union had better advantages than the south.]]> 2017-05-19 14:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172818566 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172818590 During the civil war the noth and the south has different advantages and different disadvantages. I think the union(north) had more advantages because they had 22 million people fighting and the south had 9 million people fighting. "22 million to just 9 million people..." this was an advantage to the north because they had a larger army and the south was out numbered. Also, the north had 22,000 miles of railroad track and the confederacy only had 9,000 miles of track. "They had thousands more railroad track." This is an advantage for the union because they could move troops and export goods. Many things during the civil war went in the norths favor. They had great leaders, industrial input, more money, and the soldiers fought on familiar turf. Even thought the north had all of that, the south had huge plantations so they could produce just about everything. ]]> 2017-05-19 14:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172818590 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172819618 I believe that the union had a greater advantage. I believe this because they had more access to transportation due the 22,000 miles of railroad tracks they had control over while the confederacy only had 9,000 miles of railroad track. "They had thousands more railroad track." This is seen she to be an advange because more railroad track allows more soldiers and supplies that were useful to the war to be moved throughout the North. "Some 22,000 miles of railroad track could move soldiers  and supplies throughout the North." Also, another advantage is that the North had a way bigger population. "It could draw soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million compared with the South's 5.5 million. This is considered an advantage because more men to fight with means that there's is more men to fire guns and come up with new strategies. ]]> 2017-05-19 14:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172819618 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172820623 I believe that the union had a greater advantage. The first reason that the north had better advantages was because they had 13,000 miles of pure railroads that would've helped them succeed. They used these rail roads because that would've helped them get army and supplies way faster to the war. "Over 13,000 miles of railroad crossing this side which could bring resources quickly where they were needed." Another reason why the Union had a better advantage was that they manufactured 9 times better good such as weapons for guns. "The factories in this region manufactured 9 times as much goods as the other. These factory-made goods included weapons of war as well as non-military goods for the civilian population." As the south, they did have no army or military organized. ]]> 2017-05-19 14:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172820623 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172820684 I believe that the union (north) had more of an advantage. The north had double south people. The north had 22 million people compared to the south with only 5.5 million people fighting, "22million to just 5.5 million". The north also had way more railroad. The north had 22,000 miles of railroad. The south only had 9,000 miles. The north had 13,000 more miles of railroad than the south. That also meant that they got way more money cause they weren't able to sell out more goods.

For example, the Union could recruit soldiers from the population of 22 million compared to the South's 5.5 million. More people means more people who are able to serve in the war. The Union also had 22,000 miles of railway track, allowing faster transportation of supplies and troops, compared to the meager 9,000 miles of track the South had. This, combined with the large population the Union had, gave a distinct advantage over the Confederacy.

The north had more than triple the people's in the south and much more railroad track. "some 22,000 miles of rail road track... the sounth had only about 9,000 miles of track." This shows that they had more than double the amount of rail road road track. "From a population of 22 million compared with the souths 5.5 million." This shows that the north all,out hadn't quadruple the amount of people compared with the south which was a huge advantage. Some people may say that the confederacy had a greater advantage because the southhad  less people and dint need as much railroad track and the north did because they had so many people, but the north could fit more supplies also and move way farther.

Also from the text it says, "It needed only to defend itself until the North grew tired of fighting." This shows us that their strategy was to sit and wait for the union soldiers to come to them in their homelands, giving them the advantage of the battle, which the union soldiers had to control the area and move.

This refers to the North having much greater manpower, with the possibility if getting soldiers from 4 times as many people than the South has, and "Some 22,000 miles of railroad track could move soldiers and supplies throughout the North."

According to Part 2, "It (the North) could draw soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million, compared with the South's 5.5 million." This supports my claim because it shows that the North had a population 4 times larger than the South.

Although the Confederacy had better military tactics and homeland advantage, the Union had a greater advantage. First off all, they had more miles of railroad tracks. "Some 22,000 miles of railroad track cold move soldiers and supplies throughout the North.  The South had only about 9,000 miles of track. . . ." This shows that with more railroads tracks, more supplies could be sent and soldiers could be moved if needed. This was better compared to the amount of tracks the South had. Also, the North had more people. "It could draw soldier soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million." This was an advantage because they could take more people and good workers from theor large population.

Also the north had 22 million miles of railroad, which helped them get around. this all proves that the north had not only a bigger advantage but a lot bigger advantage.]]> 2017-05-19 18:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172874147 https://padlet.com/jbousman/497azyywei8a/wish/172874510 The union had the greater overall advantage in the civil war. This is because they had more advantages, and fewer disadvantages than the south. One of the biggest advantages was the north’s far superior economy, and production capabilities. “The factories in this region [the north] manufactured nine times as many goods as in the other region”. It had many more factories to produce the goods needed for the war. Another advantage was the wealth of the north. “This side of the Civil War [the north] controlled most all of the nation’s wealth. Most of America’s banking and manufacturing industries were located in this region.” This wealth and strong economy could all be turned towards the war. With this wealth the north was able to support a much larger army. These gave the union a large advantage.

According to the passage, the north "could draw soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million" and "some 22,000 miles of railroad track could move soldiers and supplies throughout the north."

Also, "22,000 miles of railroad track could move soldiers and supplies throughout the north. The south had only about 9,000 mile away of track".

Also the North had "...some 22,000 miles of railroad track...The South only had about 9,000 miles of track..."

A example from the passage is, "It could draw soldiers and workers from a population of 22 million . . . One of its greatest advantages was its network of roads, canals, and railroads. Some 22,000 miles of railroad track cold move soldiers and supplies throughout the North. . ."
