You’ve been given the article by Mr. Castel. I’d like you to answer the following questions:

1. Summarize some of the earliest reasons that historians stated why the North won and the Confederacy lost;

2. Summarize the three points that James McPherson says where the CSA came very close to winning despite the North’s superiority;

3. List with a summary of each of the five Union generals who made the biggest contributions to the war effort. Do you agree with the rankings? Why or why not?

Please complete this as a comment for this blog. If you can’t finish it in class, finish it before class on Wed. If you get done early, work on making comments on past blogs that you have missed. Thanks.

Mr. W.
