Civil war

My history teacher wants me to blog about our theme that regards to the Civil War and the Reconstruction period. While many people disregard immigration during the Civil War period, it was actually a very important part of the War and the Reconstruction period after.. So by the time of the war, the North was so much more populated because of immigrants that they were outnumbered the south by a lot. But almost none of them went to the south, because it was much harder to find hobby's with so much unpaid slave labor.Also the North was able to invent much more weaponry because they had a lot more people in factories while all the south's workers were working on plantations. I agree with this article because it makes sense that all the immigrants would not ant to go south because they would not have been able to fin jobs down there.
