Civil War Statistics

The different statistics were chosen to represent a variety of different important factors of war. The statistics about population were important to determining the size of the armies and available labor forces. The information about the amount of railway was important because railway had an effect on war strategy. The value of manufactured goods was an important indicator of economic standing and money is necessary to war. The corn is an indicator to the amount of food available which is an important supply.


This process was very important in helping to understand the Northern and Southern situations. It provided a way to visualize a unit that was largely statistics. It also forced me to analyze the statistics so I could organize and prioritize them in order to make the infographic. Overall, I had a much better understanding of the unit and the essential question after I made the infographic than before.

  1. Personally, I feel you've contributed a lot to this topic.  I enjoyed reading this article very much. It can't be easy to make every paragraph interesting, but you managed it.   Usually used by dumbasses who really mean to use the word intrical. Define Dictionary Meaning is an easy to use platform where anyone can create and share short informal definition of any word. Best thing is, its free and you can even contribute without creating an account.
