\nHere is a great compare and contrast exercise! The Civil War not only divides families, it also divides people who had become friends while serving together in government and the military before the war. Biographies of Civil War leaders have many similarities \u2013 reading someone\u2019s pre-war timeline without knowing their name, it would be hard to pick which leader was from a Northern state and which was from a Southern state. For example, the two presidents of the forces fighting the war have a lot more in common than you might expect . . .<\/p>\n

\nHorses are used for individual transportation more in the agricultural South than they are in the more urban North before the Civil War. So at the start of the war the Confederate cavalry units have a real advantage in the quality of their horses and riders. Most of the Southern cavalrymen provide their own horses for the battlefield. A cavalryman is usually armed with a carbine rifle, pistol, and a saber \u2013 and the Confederates put their cavalry advantage to quick use in attacking Union positions.<\/p>\n
