North vs. South

Pick a side of the Civil War.  The North or the South.  Tell me why you picked the side you did.  3 to 5 sentences.

  1. I would've picked the North, why? I have lots of reasons, 1st is that the north seems to have a stronger army than the South. 2nd is that the north is less spread out compared to the South, so you dont have to walk for hundreds of miles to get there. 3rd is that the North had some of the best leaders during the civil era (period of time). 4th is that the North seems to have way more people than compared to the South. So I think it would be pretty obvious that I would go with the North.

  3. I would pick the north because the north had factories instead of slaves.
    The south lived on farms and owned slaves to work for them.
    But the north had factories they did not had not have to use slaves to do there work for them thats why i picked the north.

  10. I would pick the North, I don't agree with slavery. I hate the fact how people treat other people that way, but I also think that Abraham Lincoln is full of rocks. (couldn't think of anything else.)

  16. During the civil war I'd pick the north.One good reason I'd pick the north is they didnt want slavery.Another good reason is they had a great army and strong leaders. The north also had new technology but the south only had farms. Those are the reasons I'd picked the north.

  17. I pick the South ,because I would support my
    home state. Go Virginia! I disagree with slavery, because it is cruel and inhumane. I would have tried to convince my friends that slavery was wrong.

  23. I choose the North because slavery is morally wrong. The North believes that the federal government should be more powerful than the states power. Overall the North is better than the South.

  25. I would say the north,why you may ask?Because I would not want to be someone slave for no reason.Hey I would rather be an indentured servant.I would also be an abolisionist. But the point I am trying to get to is if you are a slave you and your life will be CRAP.But the north is nothing but being free and you wont die in vein.Besides when you die or dont die you still fought for NO SLAVERY!!!!!!

  28. I would pick the south. I know slavery is wrong and inhuman but this is my home now. I understand why some people picked the North, but if you left your home in the south ( belive it or not you live here too!) You might shoot somone you know.
    WAR IS WRONG

    Though I really just don't have a side.
    I guess I'll be a hippie.
    Peace!

  49. i think all rights and everybody goes with there own rights and should go by it but some rights are unfair and wrong expesially with slaves and i think slaves should be the most big important person about this because they worked hard and they should get alot of credit so i think that anybody that picked the north i appreciate that because the north was the best and the people who putt the south i guess thats there opion and i think i respect that to!!!!!!
