Wagon trains, especially for local campaigns, theatre campaigns involved trains, esp in the north.  During Lee's excursion into Pennsylvania, the Confederate wagon train was 26 miles long stretching from Carlisle in the north with Ewells 2nd Corps to south of Chambersburg (Longstreets 1st Corps), prior to being centralized outside of Gettysburg.

At least 618,000 Americans died in the Civil War, and some experts say the toll reached 700,000. The number that is most often quoted is 620,000. At any rate, these casualties exceed the nation's loss in all its other wars, from the Revolution through Vietnam. \n        The Union armies had from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 men. Their losses, by the best estimates:\n\nBattle deaths: 110,070 \nDisease, etc.: 250,152 \nTotal 360,222 \n\n        The Confederate strength, known less accurately because of missing records, was from 750,000 to 1,250,000. Its estimated losses:\n\nBattle deaths: 94,000 \nDisease, etc.: 164,000 \nTotal 258,000 \n\n        The leading authority on casualties of the war, Thomas L. Livermore, admitting the handicap of poor records in some cases, studied 48 of the war's battles and concluded: \n        Of every 1,000 Federals in battle, 112 were wounded.\n        Of every 1,000 Confederates, 150 were hit.

I would like to tell Lincoln not to deliberately start the civil war by senting a resupply ship to Ft. Sumter, because he knew this would provoke the South to  fire on Ft. Sumter. this would have saved 600,000 lives, then to use his negotiating skills to work out a solution to the problems of the time.The south would be alot better off today, because if you live in the south, black or white ,you have suffered ever since the civil war, the federal government not sending the funds to the southern schools, for example in 1867, two years after the civil war, the state of georgia reciieved like 13000 in federal funds and the state of michigan recieved like 18 million.What the south has today, is what the South has built itself. the federal government did not help rebuild the south like it did Germany and Japan after world war 2. this is why the southern states are like 30 to 40 years behind the their northern counterparts. the south suffered the most damage from the war (Atlanta burned to the ground,etc.) and recieved nothing to help rebuild it. So Black or White , if you live in the south ,you are still paying for that war that happened over 140 years ago.

For the most part the north still held parties and balls at homes of the wealthy.  They would discuss a lot of political issues surrounding slavery and the war.\n\nFor those who were not wealthy, they still lived there everyday life working to make a buck.  \n\nOverall society was effected by the war in that they were focused on producing war goods and rationing food for the soldiers.

was it states rights...that is one in the books..thats not it i think it had alot to do with a power struggle.The north wanting to keep the south in its proper place. Which wud be wrong...i admit i missed something on the subject,i can find out.The north had a little known desire to not let the south persue an industial base, which was growing a  bit before the war broke out.Cotten was king n they knew it,with a strong industry the south could,and would i belief become dominant in the power sruggle.

The South had been launching an offensive into Northern territory, with the eventual goal to taking Washington D.C. (Back then, when you took the capital, you could win the war ... a pity it's not like that anymore). At Gettysburg, the Southern Army was defeated and it was forced to push back towards Confederate territory. It began the process by which the North began hammering the South into submission in the war.

You are talking about the contraband they followed the armies throughout the South the problem was the armies had no way or motivation to care for them.  Read "The Uncivil War" the Yankees raped, hung and abused them great liberators.  That might have why most of them stayed loyal or may-be they did listen to the yankee lies!\n\nGod Bless You and The Southern People.

The North considered it a victory because they defeated the confederate army in the field costing irreplaceable men and supplies.\n\nThe Confederate army considered it a victory because they thought they had fought to union army to a stand still since the union army did not follow them in their retreat back to the south.\n\nThe real reason the union army did not follow up, was because they had to split their forces after the battle.\n\nHalf the union army had to force march to New York City to put down pro-confederate riots and to keep New York from succeeding from the union.and pulling out of the war altogether

It depends on what kind of info you want.  Look up the info on the internet as suggested in a previous answer and then, if you want the real deal, visit Civil War battlefields - Gettysburg, Petersburg, Atlanta, Vicksburg, etc.  All those battlefields have park rangers who could probably answer any question you might have.  That would give you multiple sources for a bibliography, too (internet, personal interview, books you might purchase in the gift shop, etc.).  Plus, if you go to the battlefield, you can get great pictures to go along with a report if that's what you're working on.

There were 2 battles here. It was also called the Battle of Manassass. It was the first land battle of the Civil war. The Union troops were inexperienced,and forced to retreat. For more info I added the link

Economics...that's actually what the Civil War boiled down to, as well.  The Northern States had long since embraced the technological advances of their day (hence their having the time to stand back and see how reprehensible slavery was)  The South was still pretty dependent on physical slave labor, and didn't really embrace technologies as readily.  But even if the south had won that war, slavery would have gone away eventually because it would have simply become too expensive compared to the technology...
