Answer:

An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."

This phrase, along with the idea of written laws, goes back to ancient Mesopotamian culture that prospered long before the Bible was written or the civilizations of the Greeks or Romans flowered.

"An eye for an eye ..." is a paraphrase of Hammurabi's Code, a collection of 282 laws inscribed on an upright stone pillar. The code was found by French archaeologists in 1901 while excavating the ancient city of Susa, which is in modern-day Iran.

Hammurabi is the best known and most celebrated of all Mesopotamian kings. He ruled the Babylonian Empire from 1792-50 B.C.E. Although he was concerned with keeping order in his kingdom, this was not his only reason for compiling the list of laws. When he began ruling the city-state of Babylon, he had control of no more than 50 square miles of territory. As he conquered other city-states and his empire grew, he saw the need to unify the various groups he controlled.

The Northern states were more industrial than the Southern states. The North relied on industry for its economy, but they did have an agricultural element. The Northern states fought to preserve the Union and eventually to abolish slavery. The Union also had a higher population and because of their factories the military was well supplied throughout the war. The border states were made up of states that were under Union control, some by force such as martial law. Most people in border states were supportive of the Confederacy, however, and would allow Confederate Armies to come through. The border states also exported some agricultural products to the South. The Southern states economy ran on agriculture and were less industrial than the North. The Southern states fought to preserve their way of life, to uphold slavery, and to govern themselves without the federal government interfering as much as it did in the Union. The Confederate states' most important export was cotton, however their production of cotton decreased during war time. The Southern states also had a smaller population. Near the end of the war the Confederacy began running out of money resulting in the Confederate military needing to scavenge for supplies.
