War Begin 1) Identify What event triggered the war between the Union and the Confederacy? The battle of fort Sumter triggered the start of the war between the North and South.

2) Contrast How did the Union’s strategy differ from that of the Confederacy? The north's plan was to cut off the south of its supplies and trading by blocking the Charleston port. They also planned the take over the Mississippi river ti divide the south. However, the south's plan was very simple and easy. They only needed to protect their land was wait until the north grew tired and gave up.

3)Evaluate Which side do you believe was best prepared for war? Explain your answer. In my opinion the North was more prepared for war than the South. They were more smart and strategic than the South. They had an easy way to get the word around because of the railroads and telegraphs. The north was industrial and had more money than the South. There was more people in the north too. Even if the south had more land, it was made up of farms and plantations.

2) Why do you think the Union lost the First Battle of Bull Run? In the first battle of Bull Run, people sat on the Hill to enjoy the battle. They had no idea what they were getting themselves into.

5) Why do you think General George B. McClellan did not finish off General Robert E. Lee’s troops when he had the chance?
