It's not like any of these groups did nothing, and these groups were all underrepresented in this era, but I get why ur history teacher is making u do this. I would say African Americans, then women, then Native Americans. I don't know what ur history teacher included in the lesson, but here r my reasons. African Americans served in the army because they thought fighting for American Independence would give them freedom. look up names of specific soldiers.
2. Women. Look up Abigail Adams, Martha Curtis Washington, and others. White women were included better than Native Americans, so I put them second.
3. I know many Native Americans served on the American side, but I'm putting them third because they had a lot to lose, and I recall that many served on the side of the English.
That's all I remember from history class. Hopefully that's enough to get u started.

The North benefited from having a much more productive economy. While the Southern economy was more agricultural and centered on cotton production, the North had begun to undergo industrialization and thus had a far more robust manufacturing economy that could produce arms and supplies. Additionally, the North was much more connected by rail than the South. The miles of rail in the North dwarfed the South which meant the North could move troops and supplies far more effectively to the battlefront. And finally, the North benefited from the fact that it was entering a slave-owning territory. The South was largely unable to prevent its enslaved population from undertaking sabotage or fleeing to the Union lines.
