Before dawn on April 12, 1861—150 years ago this week—the American Civil War began when Confederate artillery shelled Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. Living as we do in the shadow of the great wars of the 20th century, it's hard to imagine just how stupendous a conflict the war was by the standards of that day.

It was by far the greatest military conflict fought in the Western world between the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and the start of World War I in 1914. Even more important, the American Civil War was the first great conflict of the industrial era. For the first time, railroads, the telegraph, public opinion and large-scale industrial production were crucial to winning the war. And all of that had to be paid for, so another important aspect of the war was in finance.

Explanation:

The cost was much higher for the South than the North

Explanation:

A lot of the fighting was done in the south which made it higher financially. Most factories were int eh North so supplies for them were much easier to get. The union was also funded by the government through taxes, printing money, the sale of government bonds, and the creation of a national banking system.

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
