The Blog on Tardiness

So, people are sometimes tardy to class, and to be honest, I'm writing this 3rd blog over 1 and a half weeks overdue, trust me I have some experience. But being tardy in class isn't really a big deal. Imagine if you were in a war, let's say you needed some backup, the difference between 5 minutes and 1 minute could cost many people their lives. So, going off of that, I'm gonna talk about communication and how it affected the civil war (Yay!). First off, at the time of the Civil war, the advancements in transportation and communications were absolutely huge. For starters, the railroad was invented, and the telegraph as well was prominent. So the natural strategy was to cut off communications, supply, and troops and bit by bit, shut down the roots of the opposing side. You can see in the late states of the war, the North gunning down train hubs and cutting off the Souths reach into the north bit by bit. Understandably, after a few of the Souths main frontiers cities into the North fell, it didn't take long for the South to fall completely. Another tactic to delay the South was to invade the river branches on the Mississippi and cut down boats bringing supplies to troops. This eventually led the North to make a huge snake using it's Navy and captured points on the Mississippi to make "Scotts Great Snake", a huge cordon around the south, and that was the end of the American Civil War.

Well, thank you for tuning in, and see you on the next, hopefully on time blog.
Good Day!
