Civil Military Strategy

I chose to start with the information on the factories and then move on to railroads because the factories make what is in the railroad cars. Knowing about the factories aids in the understanding of why railroads were an important asset. After I had done that, I realized my infogram was completely lacking Southern advantages so I decided to have the last section before Military Strategy dedicated to cotton. Cotton was, in my opinion, the South’s greatest advantage.  Cotton's importance to the Southerners is fully understood when looking at their military strategy--a fundamental part of which is cotton. What I enjoyed about making the infogram was combining information from different sources. That way, it seemed like I was sure to be getting more of the bigger picture and not just a single idea of what was going on. Lots of things need to be taken into account on both sides, Union and Confederate, to truly see who had the advantage in the Civil War.
