Why do you think 71% of the population of the U.S. would be concentrated in
the North? How could this have impacted the outcome of the Civil War?
Why do you think only 28% of the total mile of railroad track in America ran
through the South? How could this have impacted the outcome of the Civil
War?
Why do you think the South risked war with the North knowing that they had
very little chance of winning?
Would you have heeded President Lincoln’s call for volunteers if you had been
a young male living in the North in 1861? Why or why not?
What does fighting a “defensive war” mean? Why do you think fewer troops
are needed to fight a defensive war rather than one of an offensive nature?
Which side, in your opinion, held the upper hand when the war started? North
or South? Explain why.
Which of the North’s advantages do you think was most important and why?
Which of the North’s advantages do you think was most important and why?
Challenges Facing Government Leaders
While the war raged, leaders in both the Union
(North) and the Confederacy (South) faced
enormous challenges.
 On poster paper, list the specific challenges
faced by each side. A t-chart would be
helpful – the North on one side, and the South
on the other.
 Provide a CSET response defending your
answer to the following question: Which side’s
leaders dealt with the challenges of war more
effectively, North or South?
 Be ready to share.

Acrostic Summary


The North wins the Civil War, but was this outcome
inevitable? Answer that question in the form of an acrostic
poem using the phrase “North Wins”.
Your acrostic poem should very clearly state your opinion
and should also include ample evidence and support.
