Determine whether the following advantages were held by the north or the south at the beginning of the civil war. 1. superior military leadership . 2. established governmental agencies . 3. troops physically prepared for fighting . 4. adequate transportation . 5. diversified agriculture . 6. a defensive stand . 7. available natural resources . 8. factories able to produce munitions and supplies . 9. familiar with terrain and climate . 10. a larger source of manpower .

The following advantages were held by the North or the South:

1) The North had superior military leadership (stronger army and navy).

2) The North established governmental agencies (it was easy for them to organize the military).

3) The South had troops physically prepared for fighting.

4) The North had more adequate transportation, because they had much more roads and infrastructure to move their troops and supplies easily from one place to other.

5) The North had diversified agriculture. They even had a more diversified economy based on free labor. The South, on the contrary, had an economy based on slave work.

6) The South had a defensive stand since they were protecting their land. It was a defensive battle for them.

7) The South had more natural resources. For example, they were the main cotton producers at that time.  

8) The North had much more factories than the South, so they were able to produce more munitions and supplies (such as guns, bullets, knifes, etc).

9) The South was familiar with terrain and climate since they were fighting in their home land.

10) The North had a larger source of manpower, because they had almost over twice the South's population.

ok, but what is your question? as soon as you tell me i will answer your question : )

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
