Discuss the balance of resources between the North and South at the beginning of the Civil War and its implications for initial military strategy
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The North enjoyed a significant population and economic advantage over the South. Many of the North's assets would become effective, however, only with time. Although lacking adequate industrial strength, the South believed cotton would secure European support. In contrast to the Union's more difficult strategic task of conquest and occupation, the South merely had to survive until its enemy tired and quit.
