Create a video instructional video that highlights the following major differences between the North and South: Geography, Economy, Transportation, Societal Differences, Perspectives on slavery. **Each video must also include the following technical merits:**
 * Script
 * Images cited at the end of the video.

 * Green screen effects
 * Quality sound and video production

Your video product is meant to //**teach**// and //**inform**// viewers of the key differences between the North and South prior to the Civil War. It is **NOT** simply to show pictures, present music, or make people laugh. I encourage you to go back to your @Portfolio page and look at your "//**Compromise Reigns Project**//." Recall how you put your script together, cited your images, and created a professional looking product.
