Men, Munitions, and Money
The cause of the American Civil War has been and will be debated forever. However, the inevitability of which side would win the war really came down to which side had the most men and which side could make the most guns and bullets and implements of war and which side had the greatest number of natural resources. There was also the question of money, of which the Union had the advantage. The Confederacy tried to make due as best it could in all of the areas above, but in the end, the Union’s advantage was just too great.

J. Ross Browne, Government Agent (Part 1)
J. Ross Browne spent most of his career in government service. He worked for the Revenue Service inspecting areas of government waste. His brutal honesty was at first refreshing to his bosses, but ultimately made him a lot of enemies. He had a colorful career, which he ultimately wrote about extensively. The theme for most of his work was the finding of frauds and cheats, which he told in a satirical manner, a la Mark Twain.
