The Delay of the Inevitable

Recently, our class has been learning about the statistics and strategies of both the north(Union) and the south(Confederacy) utilized during the civil war. for this lesson, the essential question was, "How did the differences between the North and South affect each region's strategy and success in the Civil War?". For this lesson we were to make a infographic using the information obtained throughout various websites.

For the to create the infographics, we were to use either CanvaInfogram, or Piktochart. Before I started to even work on the infographic, I first tried all of the apps out. Right away , I ruled out using canvas, because I didn't understand how to change the infographic into a more suitable orientation. Piktochart was a nice website, but I felt that Infogram was a little more aesthetically pleasing.

Most of the information I chose were related to how each side used very different tactics during the war. Almost all of the information that was presented shows that the North were more prepared to go to war than the South. The defeat of the confederacy was inevitable due to the North's superiority in money, men, food and transportation. The southern advantage of leadership only served as a delay to the Northern victory.
