One of the chief concerns for those that set sail on the Mayflower was how to organize themselves, especially with a variety of factions, once they got to the new world.
This wasn't a problem in England as you did what the King and his government wanted you to do.
The Mayflower Compact was ingenious, then, as it allowed for a structure where people knew the rules of the game and allowed for decisions to be made.
Lets look at the temperature of these regions. In the New England colonies it was typically colder, they were father North. In the Southern Colonies, it was generally warmer, and same for the Midwestern. Now the landscape of these colonies. In the New England colonies the soil was hard and rigid, due to the mountains in the are. The Southern Colonies had fertile soil and the Midwestern Colonies had forests. So, in the New England colonies is where more of the "factories" were, the Southern Colonies had the Agricultural, and the Midwest had the fur. Now, all these colonies were trading with other countries and were dependent on each other.
After major Union victories at the battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln began preparing his plan for Reconstruction to reunify the North and South after the war’s end. Because Lincoln believed that the South had never legally seceded from the Union, his plan for Reconstruction was based on forgiveness. He thus issued the Proclamation Of Amnesty And Reconstruction in 1863 to announce his intention to reunite the once-united states. Lincoln hoped that the proclamation would rally northern support for the war and persuade weary Confederate soldiers to surrender.
the confederacy lacked soldiers compared to the union and lacked factories to produce weapons, etc
