Making an Infographic was a challenging process. It involved a lot of trial and error and research to create a detailed presentation. The first element of the Infographic is the pictorial bar which provides the percentage of U.S. citizens in the North and South in 1860. I chose to present this information to give the viewer an idea of where the majority of slaves were located in the U.S. The next element of the Infographic is the Resource Percentage Chart. This chart shows the percentages of the resources produced in the North and the South. This information is useful to know to better understand the advantages that the North and South had during the Civil War. The next element of the Infographic is the Types of Labor Chart. The bar graph shows how dominant cotton production was in the 1850’s compared to all other types of slave labor. The next part of the Infographic depicts the advantages of both the North and South during the Civil War. These advantages help give a better understanding as to why the Union was able to defeat the Confederacy. The last element of the Infographic illustrates the war strategies of the North and the South and an explanation as to how the strategy of the Union was stronger than that of the Confederacy. By creating this Infographic, I was able to understand the situations faced by the Union and Confederacy at the start of the war. Once statistics and strategies were reviewed, it became evident that the Union was the stronger opponent despite the few important advantages held by the Confederacy.
