The main advantage that the South had at the beginning of the war was its large army and well-trained generals. The Confederacy, from this perspective, appeared more capable of winning the war at the beginning of the conflict. Moreover, as most of the fighting was carried out in the South, they also had the advantage of knowing the territory.
I do not think that the South failed to exploit its initial advantages. The Confederacy fought extremely well during the early stages of the war. However, the North's advantages were finally just greater. The South relied on agriculture, which was rendered unviable during the war. Moreover, it had a much smaller population, and its workforce was destroyed after emancipation. All of these put the Confederacy in a particularly difficult position.
Loyalists were those people in American
colonies who during the Revolutionary War stayed “Loyal” to Britain. Based on
their faith and activities the statement which is true about them is:
<span>“Parliament and the Crown must be obeyed as the legitimate government of the Empire”</span>
<span>They had their own motives, from many one could
be they felt threatened by the new development and for their businesses and
felt the British Crown can be a better option.</span>
They sent delegates to the 2nd Continental Congress
To briefly sum things up:
- Bartolomé de Las Casas saw the indigenous peoples as equals and believed they should not be treated as less. However, he still wanted to convert them to his religion to "free" them.
- On the other hand, Cortés basically said the indigenous people were perfect for slavery because they lacked the "superior" qualities the Europeans had, and so he definitely thought they were inferior.
