Need Help with Civil War Questions?
What were the major military turning points in the Civil War? Compare Army nurses effort and organization in the South to that of the North. Discuss "Cotton Diplomacy". How did Southerners perceive diplomacy as a war measure? Would a different policy by Britain and France have made any difference in the course of the Civil War? Why? Why not? Note: All questions are about the Civil War. I am a idiot when it comes to history, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Military turning points in the Civil War: the Union capture of Fort Donelson, TN; the Union Capture of New Orleans, LA; the Union capture of Vicksburg, MS; the Union capture of Chattanooga, TN; the Union capture of Atlanta, GA. You will have to compare and discuss, my impetus is to answer.

British or French intervention on the side of the South would have recognized the South as an Independent nation and sovereign nation at that. At the time Russia would not have wanted to see that happen as it assumed (correctly) that the UNITED states was a deterrent to British colonialism of the time and we would check Britain or France as per the Monroe Doctrine of the time...Although overtures were made to both countries at the time and neither would oblige the south, they couldn't, Britain had other problems in the world at the time and could not commit to a southern intervention and France was not militarily capable at the time and a response by either would have been the first world war.....very likely and who knows what response Russia would have had against British intervention? All out war? hard to say since it never happened but there was a great southern sympathy going on in GB at the time since the loss of cotton from the south caused 1/3 of the southern half of GB to go unemployed and nearly starve...just not enough to intervene as northern diplomacy was highly effective at the time!

Gettysburg was a huge turning point during the war it cost a huge amount of life totaling 53.000 but it proved how close the union came to losing the war on the 2 of July 1863 if it hadn't of been for Chamberlain and the twentieth Maine the South would of won the war. If Britain hadn't abolished slavery they would of joined up with the Confederacy and with the British fleet the war would gone a lot differetly not sure about France though.
