     1. Were Southern politicians more or less likely to own slaves than other white Southerners?
They were more likely because of the presents in the table above. Which states that 38% of all white southern family's own slaves and 68% state legislators own slaves. This shows that they are more likely to own slaves.

     Yes and no I think that having material advantages are a decisive in the outcome of a war as long as you have the people to back up the factories or work the land to make money. I think this because if you have money or the right materials to fund the war then yeah you going to win but no because if you don't have the men to use your materials and to work you land to get more items or money to fund the war then whats the point of having so much stuff without the man power you wont win.

I think the Civil war was so lethal because people wanted to have slaves and wanted what they wanted and would fight till the death for it. But more of all it was lethal because it was the state against state. And the country fighting itself.
