Cost Of The Amercian Civil War

 

1. Number one cost of the American Civil War:  Social

The total wounded and deaths from the union was 634,703 and from confederate was 358,000. When i visualize the picture from the lesson there was people laying down looking dead and it look like they were laid out on a field with a lot of trees on the side. In the lesson Judith wrote her son Samuel who fought for the Union army and the letter basically stated she was worried that something had happen to him because he never wrote back before and the family miss and wanted to see him soon. That's why i ranked social for the number one cost of the American Civil War.

 

2. Number two cost of the American Civil War:  Economic

The loss of a person abilities and skills of the union was 1,064 and confederate was 767. I visualize a picture from the lesson about the economic effect of the civil war and i seen people property really damaged and a note dated April 27, 1862 basically at the ending of the note it was like people are in the field fighting against their enemy and they young lives, and homes are sacrificed that's why i ranked economic as number two cost of the American Civil War.

 

3. Number three cost of the American Civil war:  Political

Abraham Lincoln electoral vote was 212 & popular vote was 2,218,388. I visualize a picture from the lesson and Abraham was shaking a person hand and in the background people look like they was running and walking like they had freedom and there was a U.S.A. flag and on the other side of the picture they had a man for sale at the auction with Jefferson Davis shaking a men hand and there was a confederate flag in the back. I read a quote about Abraham Lincoln from Noah Brooks who was a California journalist. This why i ranked political as number three.
