So far as I know, there are no prison ships in New York harbor. The closest thing would be the prison on Riker's Island. By "Patriot POWs" do you mean political prisoners of some sort?
The Articles of Confederation tried to <span>preserve the states' sovereignty but they failed. It ended up not giving congress enough power and the Articles of Confederation were eventually replaced with the US Constitution.</span>
A. Although they were immortal, they had many characteristics of humans.
Anti-Federalists were against the Constitution, so I'm fairly certain that the rest of that statement goes:
According to the Anti-Federalists, a governing document such as the Constitution should most certainly fail to protect the rights of individuals and the states.
That's the most I've got with how much you gave, I'll probably need specific choices to choose from for a more satisfying and accurate answer.
The political, economic, and military strength of the Union was much greater than that of the Confederacy. However, the war did last four years. The Confederacy proved itself resilient on many occasions. Throughout the war the tide constantly shifted, and with that so did the political, economic, and military strength of either side. Although each side had its share of military successes, in the end, the superior Northern economy, centralized government and overwhelming manpower would eventually lead to victory. In mid 1863, both the Union and the Confederacy could have won the war although; the Confederacy lacked the industry, or manpower to wage a long war with the Union.
The Union was far more industrialized than the South. The North possessed 80% of total U.S. industry. In addition, most Confederate industry was located in the Upper South-particularly in Virginia. The Confederacy lost a great deal of potential industry and manpower when West Virginia, Kentucky, Delaware, and Maryland joined the Union instead of the Confederacy. The loss of these states to the Union was as much a testament to shrewd northern politics (Maryland) as it was to opposition within the states (West Virginia). Confederate industry, especially with the loss of these states, was unable to compete with the Union.
In addition to the South's lack of industry, most capital was invested in slaves and land-both of these are non-liquid. The South's lack of a large supply of liquid capital made it difficult for Southerners to buy munitions for the war effort. As a result of the South's lack of liquid capital the North enjoyed a decided advantage..
