In class we took notes about the statistics and strategies used by the North and South during the Civil War. The essential question for this lesson was, “How did the differences between the North and South affect each regions strategy and success in the Civil War?” Our teacher had us all make our own infographics on the information we found on various sources. I used a website called infogram to create my infographic. The point of the assignment was to display the disadvantages and advantages the North and South had on each other during the Civil War. In my infographic i included data about population, railroad mileage, slave population, factories, industrial workers, cotton production and war strategies. I included population and railroads in my infographic because I think it best represents the advantage the North had over the South. The north had more than two times as much population than the South, this gave North an advantage because they had more people to fight during the war and help manufacture products that could be used in war. I chose to include the railroads because it represented an advantage of the North as well. The North had more railroads than the South allowing the North to be able to transport troops, food, and supplies faster than the South. I included the slave population in my infogram because it shows how much the South valued slaves compared to the North. I also included the cotton production because the South relied on it to help their economy. I then added information on the war strategies between the North and the South. I enjoyed using an infographic to represent the data from both North and South. It was a fun easy way to display the data and it made it much easier to understand the topic that we were learning.
