Question #4aa65

Answer 1

men, medicine, rifles, ships.

Explanation:

1. Grant could afford to lose battle after battle to Lee in his drive to Petersburg, because Grant could replace his loses, while the south could not Because of immigration the north had much larger supplies of replacement soldiers.

2. Because of the anaconda plan the south was blocked from imports. The south was not able to get medical supplies like opium and other medical supplies. Many soldiers died or loss limbs in the south because of the lack of medical supplies. Sadly many soldiers in the north became addicted to opium. The over supply of medical supplies in the north had some negative consequences.

3. rifles, cannons, were produced in factories in the north. Also the north could import arms from Europe. The south had a few factories that could produce weapons. The blockade meant that it was difficult for the south to import arms from Europe. After the fall of Vicksburg the south could not get any further arms from Europe. The soldiers in the north had access to repeating rifles, better muskets, Parrot cannons, colt revolvers, and sharp shooting rifles with scopes. All of the weapons that the northern army used were superior to the weapons available to the soldiers in the southern armies.

4. The armored gun boats of the Union dominated the Mississippi River conflict. The blockade was possible because the Union had many more ships than were available to the south.
