II. Questions and Answers

11.What were the major war aims of the North and the South?

The war aims of both sides were simple. The goal of the South was to defend independence. The goal of the North was to restore the Union by force. Although neither side was prepared for war, each was confident of its military superiority.

12. What advantages did each side have at the start of the war?

◆Advantages of the North

The confidence of the North lied in the knowledge of its advantages in human and material resources. One advantage of the North was its much larger population, fed throughout the war by immigration. The North had twenty million people, whereas the South had only nine million. Out of the nine million that the South had, four million were black slaves, which would not be enrolled into the war effort other than the usual tending of agricultural enterprises. The larger population meant that the North could more easily raise armies, which made replacing combat casualties easier. At first, this advantage was minor, but it became significant by the end of the war.

A most important advantage for the North was its economy. About 80 percent of the nation’s factories were located in the North and Northern industrial production was valued at $1.5 billion compared to $155 million for the South. Additionally, the ratio of textiles between the North and the South was 17 to 1 and the ratio of firearms was an amazing 32 to 1. Moreover, although the South was agricultural, its main crop was cotton. Most of the nation’s food cr ops were produced in Union states. Southerners managed with difficulty to produce enough food. By the end of the war, they were suffering from hunger due to their inability to move supplies where they were needed and the North contributed to this by building a blockade, via naval ships, that prevented trade with Europe. The North had more than 33,600 kilometers of railroads, while the southern states had only 15,300 kilometers. The North also had better roads and better water transportation. Since the North was not fighting on their own soil, this meant that they could protect their own industrial and transportation resources.

Another of the North’s great assets was that it had a determined and skillful leader in Abraham Lincoln. The confederacy was a new, unorganized government. Furthermore, it was a government founded on the philosophy of states’ rights. The leadership of Confederacy President Jefferson Davis was handicapped by this philosophy.

◆The Advantages of the South

However,the South did have some advantages. It had a stronger military tradition, and many of the nation’s outstanding military leaders were southerners. In addition, the South had the popular support of the southern people in their quest for independence. More importantly, they had the advantage of being able to fight a defensive war on familiar home ground, therefore, even a stalemate(僵持) would be victory for the South, and their lines of communication and supply would be shorter; meanwhile the North had to occupy the areas and hold it, which also gave many Confederates a guerrilla advantage.

Anther advantage of the South was that it had the sympathy of many Europeans. A number of British people saw no difference between the South’s struggle for independence and that of the original 13 colonies. Many upper-class British and French felt closer to the aristocratic society of the south and wanted to see the republican government of the United States discredited. Furthermost, British and French leaders saw the United States as a growing threat to their interests. This threat would be easier to contain if

at the start of the war. The advantages widened rapidly during the war, as the Northern economy grew, and Confederate territory shrank and its economy weakened. The Union population was

22 million and the South 9 million in 1861.
