Interactive Information

The North vs. The South:        THE CIVIL WAR | Create infographics

Last week in Honors History 10, our class researched the statistics of the beginning of the civil war. With many resources that Mrs. Gallagher gave us, we were able to compare and contrast several aspects of the north and the south in 1861; the populations, economies, military strategies, advantages and disadvantages. The essential question we were asked to answer was: How did the differences between the North and the South affect each region's strategy and success in the Civil War? With the given sources, I created an infographic on Infogram, a visual, interactive image to represent information and data. I found that broadcasting information in this way is much easier to comprehend and appreciate. The interactive aspect of the infographic makes the differences and similarities between the Union and the Confederacy very clear. I am very thankful that Mrs. Gallagher introduced me to this new tool, I will definitely be using it more often.
