The Confederate state’s strategy for winning the war was to try to weaken the North and to enlist the help of England and France. The South was out numbered in terms of men, ammunition, and supplies. The Union army had 2,100,000 soldiers compared to 1,064,000 Confederate soldiers. Ninety-seven percent of firearm production came from the Northern states, and the North controlled over 70% of the railroad miles. Th...
The North and the South had different perspectives. For a while these different perspectives only caused nonviolent arguments until neither could get past their differences and compromise. This led to the numerous battles of the Civil War and eventually the victory of the North. Both the North and the South had their strengths and weakness throughout the war, however, in the end the North was stronger. Factories, railroads, supplies, and population contributed to the strengths and weaknesses of the Union and Confederacy.
The south was doomed from the first shoot that was fired at Fort Sumter. The south was no way matched against the north. The national banking act in February 1863 that helped the economy in the north boomed. In the north the union had almost the factories that created their weaponry. Also when the south had left and created the confederacy they only had eleven states and with the majority of their populations being blacks that were for the abolishment of slavery. In comparing to the south’s states the union had twenty-three states with full support of their population for abolishment of slavery. In short the union in all areas of the civil war had more financial backing, were equipped with more technical modern warfare, and had more soldiers that supported their cause to eliminate slavery that made the union victorious.
Huizong was a literati artist, well trained in poetry and calligraphy often looking at paintings in terms of these two arts, adopting many of the aesthetic concepts set forth in Ershisi Shipin (The 24 aspects of Poetry). As a literati artist he believed in “depth and primitive simplicity” in his work, and that painting was an enjoyable activity intended to please one’s self and one’s friends (Barnhart, p.3). His development as an artist was oversaw by three friends, all of high social rank, but of different interests. Zhao Lingrang was a painter and assisted the Emperor in his continual search for scrolls to adorn his colle...
China during this period was the largest country comprising 4.6 million square miles of land and was the wealthiest country. In the foreground (bottom right-hand side corner) stands a crowd of figures. Viewers’ attention is drawn immediately to this group of figures as they are placed at eye-level, and it is the most colourful area of the painting. These are all guests from neighbor states and foreign lands including Korea, Burma, Kazakhstan and France. Some of these envoys may have been travelling over a long period to arrive in China and present their tributes of precious goods to Qianlong Emperor. Following the implied line created by continuous groups of Qing Imperial court officials dressed in blue, the viewer’s attention is drawn to the rather large figure – Qianlong, who is surrounded by many court officials. The slightly enlarged proportion of the Emperor’s body indicates his importance in the painting. The contrast between the Qianlong’s sitting posture and envoys standing, as well as the barriers created by the many architectural walls reinforce the importance of the Qianlong. He is located in a much higher position in the painting, indicating the legitimate status of Qianlong Emperor and his political
The first thing you do when you reach the stadium is search for a parking place. Although the price to park at the Hilton motel is fifteen dollars, yo...
The Northern states produced 97 percent of the nation’s firearms, 94 percent of its cloth, and 90 percent of its shoes and boots, providing the Union army with unlimited supplies (Keene, Cornell, O’Donnell 376). The North’s elaborate railroad system was also twice the size of the Confederates states, giving them the advantage in mobility. The South however, knew that they had certain advantages over the North. To begin with, they believed they were fighting a war for independence, much like the one that the colonists had fought against Great Britain a century earlier. The South also had a geographic advantage over the North. In order to be successful at
The proposed location in Cobb County lies between Interstate 75 and Interstate 285 and will provide multiple access points to the stadium. There are numerous highways and side roads that will alleviate traffic congestion before and after game time. The proposed track of land for the new stadium is approximately 60 acres. However, the stadium will only occupy approximately 15 acres. The remaining 45 acres will be utilized for parking and mixed-use development. The site will accommodate approximately 6,000 parking spaces and the mixed-use development will consists of shops, restaurants, bars, residences, offices, and hotels. The 60 acre complex is designed to keep the sports fan entertained for the entire day and not just for the game only. If additional parking is needed, there are approximately 30,000 parking spaces within close proximity to the proposed stadium location that will have circulator shuttle access.
The Rogers Centre, originally named SkyDome, is located in downtown Toronto near Lake Ontario. Situated at the base of the CN Tower, the visually captivating dome stands 31 stories tall and covers 11.5 acres. (CITE 1) Aside from its physical dominance, the dome is an architecturally interesting and significant structure because it was the world’s first stadium with a fully retractable roof. Furthermore, the multi-purpose building is very important to the city of Toronto because the venue has accommodated over 50 million people attending thousands of events since it opened just less than 25 years ago in June of 1989.
Phenix City has many ways of entertaining you. If you are a sports fan, you can easil...
Abstract: The Stadium construction boom continues, and taxpayers are being forced to pay for new high tech stadiums they don’t want. These new stadiums create only part-time jobs. Stadiums bring money in exclusively for professional leagues and not the communities. The teams are turning public money into private profit. Professional leagues are becoming extremely wealthy at the taxpayers expense. The publicly-funded stadium obsession must be put to a stop before athletes and coaches become even greedier. New stadiums being built hurt public schools, and send a message to children that leisure activities are more important than basic education. Public money needs to be used to for more important services that would benefit the local economy. Stadiums do not help the economy or save struggling towns. There are no net benefits from single purpose stadiums, and therefore the stadium obsessions must be put to a stop.
"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."(New Revised Standard Version, John 1:14) As the only son of God in the Christian theology, Jesus Christ was tasked with a multitude of trials, and horrors the common man would have rebuked and refused to undertake. However, as a demi-god born of the divine Christian deity and the mortal, virgin Mary, Jesus was not the average mortal man.
"If wars are won by riches, there can be no question why the North eventually prevailed." The North was better equipped than the South, with the resources necessary to be successful in a long term war like the Civil War was, which was fought from 1861 1865. Prior, and during the Civil war, the North's economy was always stronger than the South's, boasting of resources that the Confederacy had no means of attaining. Compared to the South, The North had more factories available for production of war supplies and larger amounts of land for growing crops. Its population was several times of the South's, which was a potential source for military enlistees. Although the South had better naval leadership and commanders, such as Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson, they lacked the number of factories and industries to produce needed war materials. Therefore, the North won the American Civil War due to the strength of their industrialized economy, rather than their commanders and strategies.
This is the open-system view of the organization. Prior to the accident, BP was concerned with its procurement process, technology development, infrastructure and human resource. BP was also using SWOT Analysis through which the company examined strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Internal analysis here refers to BP’s capabilities and resources, which define her strengths, and weaknesses while opportunities and threats derive from the external context of BP operations. However, after the accident, BP became more aware that the external environment is where opportunities and threats exists and must be constantly monitored and scanned. This can be explained with The ‘PESTEL’ model which identifies the key elements of Political (Legislation/ Ideology, government expenditure and legislative factors); Economic (Macro-economic factors and business cycles); Socio-demographic (Changing societal attitudes towards ethical standards and life style choices); Technological (technologies that can affect an organization); Ecological / Green issues (Opportunities and threats, impact of pollution or reclying and carbon reduction) and legal factors (legislative or regulatory framework under which the company operates that create opportunities and threats). The essence of using the PESTEL model here is to identify the key drivers that allows scenario planning to occur in relation to market
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has had an extremely negative effect on the surrounding wildlife and ecosystem. The oil spread across the gulf contaminating any living organism that came into direct or indirect contact with it. The oil cuts off the ability of oxygen from the air to move into the water which directly harms fish and other marine wildlife that require that oxygen. The dispersant that the BP is using to try and break up the oil moves the slick into the entire water column which contaminates the ocean floor which would most likely not have seen any damage if it wasn’t for the use of these dispersants. More than 400 species that live in the Gulf Islands and marshlands are at risk and as of November 2 s...
