Homework Help Forum: history-addl to prev question

Posted by lm on Friday, October 30, 2009 at 4:42pm.

okay so I spent a few hours reading that stuff (thank you) more of the same of what the textbook, the class videos etc say. My theory is that the souths loss was bigger than the norths gain. The material suggested doesn't really delve into that. Based on that any further suggestions. There is also some very specific writing requirements, could really use some suggested dummies guides for thesis' intro para's, essay maps, conclusion paras, etc.

  It is an interesting idea, but I wonder if you have any useful idea for valuing win and losses. The South was devastated, how does one put a value on that? The North dominated in the concept of a strong federal union, that States are forever subject to that Union. How does one value that? The North had a large army, even downsized, they were able to move West and "tame" the Indian. Value? If you stick just to economics, that is the value of property gained/lost, it is easy to show your point. But I fear the non-ecomomic items are why wars are engaged, and fought to the end.
