My whole life has been a huge thinking game about what I want to do in life and now it's here. What do I want as my major? Despite going back and forth, I finally chose what major I want to pursue, and that major is economics.

As of now,…

The strategies of the north and the south were that the union strategy took out the South's supplies and demand, the South's strategy was the south thought that…

Both sides believed they were fighting for a just cause and that they would win the war easily. One difference between them was, the Confederacy had first-rate generals and the Union had more manpower. The Confederacy started more defensively, but as the war progressed they became more offensive. The Union was…
