What led to victory?

An infograph is an online application what allows users to present data and statistics in a very interesting and captivating way.  An infographic conveys messages using charts, graphs and very few words.  The message is short and sweet.  The infograph that I created shows the differences, strategies and advantages between the Union and the Confederates before the Civil War.  I analyzed different data and chose the statistics that clearly showed how different strategies and advantages affected the outcome of the Civil War.  



North vs. South | Create infographics



I used a lot of graphs and charts and used minimal words.  The words I used were to explain the strategies that were used in the war.  I used bright colors so that it would capture the viewers attention and interesting data that would be easy to remember.


I chose to use that facts that led to the outcome of the Civil War.  For instance, I included a pie chart that showed how there were a lot more industrial workers, railroads and a very high yearly manufacturing of goods.  These were important to show because they affected the war; the north had more people and also they have more railroads which means people and manufactured goods made by the industrialized workers can travel place to place easier.  After researching a lot about strategies and advantages of both the North and the South, it became clear that the North had the upper hand.  The North had the resources and the people to win the war.
