The advantages and strategies of the North and South effected the outcome of the war greatly. The Norths advantages of railroad mileage, population, surplus of factories and manufactured goods outweighed the South's for many reason. The South's advantages of more military colleges and more cotton produced could not balance out the advantages the North had. Plus the North had a much better strategy, to divide and conquer. There plan was to use the Mississippi river to cut the South into two using there larger navy made it easier, not only to take over, but it also cut off supplies. They also used their navy to stop southern shipments of cotton. This is relevant because by stopping the shipments the Southerners would not be able to fuel the war. The infogram is so helpful because by using the charts and graphs it really gave me a visual of some of the advantages the two had over each other.
