Climate and Geology

Do you think that the climate and geology of the north and south had an effect on the outcome of the American Civil War?

Yes, I think that the climate did have an effect on the civil war.

Sam said...

yes i think it did.

Lauren B. said...

Yes it did have a huge impact! People could shelter themselves with their surroundings, have higher vantage points to shoot from, and have different supplies sources.

Evan L said...

Yes. Because had it been warm and maybe a little more dry, then water would be harder to come by. Like if there was a drought.

Leslie K said...

I think so. It was a lot hotter in the south than in the north, and flatter to. Also many of the Union soldiers had no idea what the south looked like before the war. In result they were fighting on unknown territory. These factors all made the war harder on the Union.

Leslie K said...

Also because it was hotter water was hard to come by.

By flatter I mean that there was a lot of plains.

Griffin M. said...

Yes, it was really hot and people could die of pass out of exhaustion.

Rylan N said...

yes because

Mya N said...

Yes. I think it did effect on the outcome of the American Civil War.

Rylan N said...

the south was hotter so it was more tiring to march. and fight

Mercedes C. said...

Yes I believe it did.

Brendan S said...

Yes I believe the the climate had a huge effect.

Jack D said...

Yes because it can effect your runny, marching, and shotting can effect both sides of the war.

You mean running right?

Yes, I think the geology had an effect on the outcome of the Civil War because where they battle could mean the difference in a battle. Such as if they fought in a field, the two sides wouldn't have an advantage however, if they fought on a hill and the Union was on top, they'd have the advantage. Not only this but the Union went to fight in the South, giving the Confederates an advantage because they were familiar with the land. I also think the climate affected the outcome because in the South it's warmer while in the North it's cooler meaning they probably had different supply sources and it was probably harder to train soldiers in the South because of the very warm weather.

Yes because the weather could make it so the soldiers would pass out or make it so they get really weak and just die.

I think the weather of the north and south did have an effect on the outcome of the Civil War.

shawn and stuff said...

yea i think it did the climate probrably had as much of an impact as geology

Anonymous said...

yes because people got diseases.

Amber R said...

If the weather was bad the soldiers could get sick and lots of them could die of diseases.

Kaylee H. said...

Yes I Think it did.

Yes, because winter in the north would have been colder and it would probably make you sicker and they would have had to march through snow which would be harder than marching on mostly clear land.

The south would effect the civil war because they have way to many troops.

NOAH.L Yes I think that the climate did have an effect on the civil war.

Cassie :D said...

I think that the geology and climate did have an effect of the Civil War.

Sophia S:) said...

Yes, both armies largely depended on the weather. If it started to rain that would cause there gun powder to become wet. Thats why fighting in the winter was not practical. The weather was to cold and there was a higher chance of sickness to spread.

Adrian K said...

Yes, I honestly think that the climate and geology affected the outcome of the war.

Anonymous said...

yes because the south had a defensive strategy

taylo said...

yes i think both had an affect on the outcome of the war.

Alysse S said...

I think yes, because it matters where you battling. if you were battling on a mountain its going to be hard. It would be better to fight on flat land.

The weather had an effect because it changed they way we fought.

DavidM said...

Yes because every hill could be a problem or might save your life and the weather could make it harder to see your enemy.

AutumnP said...

Weather had effected them because if it rained they had to fight different.

lindseyb said...

Yes, at some point it may have rained and the gun powder would get wet and you would not be able to use that gun powder again.

Abbie N said...

Weather had an effect on the war because of the fatigue it caused the soldiers.

Molly B said...

Yes it did have a huge impact! People could shelter themselves with their surroundings have higher vantage points to shoot from, and have different supplies sources.

Matthew G said...

Yes I think it would. Different weather in the north and south.

Jacob L said...

Yes, the hills probably made the soldiers tired, so they had little energy to fight. Also water could make their boots push into the ground and have it be harder to take out the boot.
