Did the blockade aid? McPherson teaches us.

Yes, and surprisingly no. Does history only record what the winning side says? I had no idea that that many ships were able to get through the blockade. I have been teaching my students that it was a big factor in the North's win. How many other facts have been slanted? I really need to teach the students to look deeply at all sides of the issues. This would be a good lesson to take into life. It applies to all that we hear on the news or read in the newspapers. I have a lot to change in my history curriculum.
