The main reason why the early battles of the Civil War favored the South is because the South was technically fighting a defensive war--meaning that the North had to make the moves and troop plans that brought them into southern territory, which allowed the South to prepare better.
The Roman Empire's fall was largely due to the army being spread too thin to defend the growing territory. The army could not recruit fast enough to secure the huge increases in territory.

The 1960 election elevated the role of images over substance. Both campaigns hired sophisticated marketing specialists to shape the media coverage of the candidates. Television played a crucial role.

In turn, lords promised protection to their vassals, as they were powerful enough to have some military forces under their command.
