The answer to answer one, is Spain!.
Spain is credited for exploring the new world along with Portugal!.
Spain and Portugal were in competition to find the passage to Asia and butted alot!. The Pope had to draw the imaginery to divide the land Spain and Portugal could have!. Spain got the west of the line and Portugal East!.

Question 2: The south had great general training places!. The south also had Robert E!. Lee who was a great general!. South had alot better generals than the north!. But the north had a beter economy and alot better established government and more railroads and more industrialize!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

1!. Spain!.!.!. they started taking Portugal's land, eventually taking everything but Brazil

2!. One Good General (Robert E!. Lee) who surprisingly believed in the North's cause but joined the South because he was born in Virginia and thats where his loyalties were!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

1!. England!. (Portugal, then Spain, were the earliest exploring countries!.)
