Why should people be cautious in making claims that northern victory was a foregone conclusion

It took three years before the north finally put Grant's plans in to full action. Between 1861 and 1864 the South had a decent opportunity to force the Union to surrender. The Union did, in fact, lose many battles during the first two years so the Union losing the war was not unheard of. While the North believed the had God on their side because they were ending slavery, for men who were simply enlisted and made to fight, there was little motivation for them to win the war. Once the slaves were free, they would have more people to compete with them for jobs and money was scarce for some of these people. Those fighting for the Confederacy were fighting for their hearts and way of life, they believed they were fighting for their very freedom, which meant those in the south were likely to fight much harder than those in the north.

Using the Internet, find one image that represents the views of government of Aristotle, one image that represents the views of

krok68 [10]

I'll give you some thoughts on the political views of the thinkers named. It's up to you to search for images and write your descriptions.

Aristotle believed there were three valid types of government, depending on the size and scope of what was to be governed or upon local situations. (He studied the constitutions of various governments as part of his work in writing his work, Politics.) As state with a sole ruler ruling rightly is a monarchy. If that form of state is abused, it becomes tyranny. A state with a number of members of the ruling class is an aristocracy -- rule by the excellent ones, noble men suited for governing. If it is corrupted by having a few rule but not of noble character or in a noble way, Aristotle referred to that as an oligarchy (rule by a few). A state in which all worthy men participate in governing Aristotle termed a polity, a constitutional government. He saw it as a corruption, though, to have a full democracy (rule by the people), which would become the sort of thing we call mob rule.

Aquinas picked up thoughts from Aristotle, who had favored a monarchy. Aquinas, writing from a Christian perspective, wrote about the righteous and proper sort of ruler who would serve as God's appointed leader among the people, truly caring for them (not becoming a tyrant).

Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx were partners in establishing communism as a political ideology. Engels and Marx believed that in time, class struggles between overlords and those beneath them would give way to a society in which all ruled and lived and worked collectively.
