Briefly explain how one development from the period 1861-1865 not directly mentioned in the excerpts supports mcpherson’s argument

A development from 1861 to 1865 not directly mentioned in the excerpt to support McPherson historical argument interpretation of the civil war is on the question passed on whether to concentrate on war that killed over a million people or to question whether the war was a necessity. The excerpt supports McPherson's argument that the war was in three forms, first through the mobilization of human and material resources by both sides, secondly, it ended with negotiated peace where victory ranged on one side but destroyed the economy and social systems of the losers. It led to the creation of a new Nation.

isaac newton first proposed that earth was not perfectly round. instead, he suggested it was an oblate spheroid—a sphere that is squashed at its poles and swollen at the equator.

the idea of the earth being a flat disc is also inconsistent with the fact that a given lunar eclipse is only visible from half of the earth at a time. the only shape that casts a round shadow no matter which direction it is pointed is a sphere, and the ancient greeks deduced that this must mean the earth is spherical.
