  4. Why did each side think they’d win?

  5. Union Strategy – Anaconda Plan

  6. Fort Sumter • This also cost the US the best general in the country; Robert E. Lee. • 4/12/1867 – War starts because as South bombards for to prevent re-supply. • This leads Lincoln to call for 75,000 troops to put down the rebellion • One big EFFECT of Lincoln’s call for troops is that border states like VA, NC, TN, and AK join the Confederacy!

  7. I’m confused; please sum this up. • Crash Course - The Battles By the end of this chapter, you’ll need to write the headlines for 2 newspaper editorials for the battles/campaigns listed below. Be sure to adopt a particular point of view. Who are you and what is your take on the war? 1st Bull Run – proved to all the war would NOT be short Antietam – single bloodiest day of the war, fittingly it was a draw Gettysburg – turning point of the Civil War Vicksburg – gave North control of the Mississippi R. Sherman’s March – culminated in the conquer of the South Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Courthouse – 4/9/1861; Lee surrenders his sword *These are the battles that will be tested.

  8. Life in the Army – Who fought? • 18-30 yrs old; though an 11 yr old and an 83 yr old joined • Farmers – Why? • Immigrants – Why? • African Americans – though not right away • Native Americans fought on both sides • Why? – bored, glory, money, loyalty

  9. Turning Civilians to Soldiers • You are the worst soldier! • Brooks Brothers (who knew?) – supplied uniforms to the North • Food in the beginning – • Sickness/hygiene – • Civil War Medicine – Stonewall Jackson survived only 8 days after his arm was amputated

  10. War Technology • Ironclads – remember Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters? • If you're curious.

  11. Turning Points Emancipation Proclamation – careful what you think. Gettysburg – Costliest battle of the war

  12. War Affects Society • Seceding from seceded states – “I’m still a rebel no matter who may be in charge.” • Copperheads – Northerners who sympathized w/ the South • Conscription - $300 bounty to bribe northerners to fight (immigrants again) • inflation

  13. Women in the War • Clara Barton • Homes invaded - Homes Invaded • Spies • Civil War Prison Camps • Andersonville

  14. The North Wins • Battle of Gettysburg – Pickett’s Charge • Vicksburg – mules, dogs, rats • Sherman’s March to the Sea 9/1864 • Surrender at Appomattox • Wilmer McLean

  15. The Legacy of the War Consequences of the War - North Not the “United States are, but the United States is.” The demands of war forced the government to grow; no longer a small government. (taxes, currency, RR, banking, colleges, the West Farming replaced by industry as major economy of the North; what else could you do w/ all those factories? Consequences of the War – South 40% of all livestock dead Farms and plantations destroyed Labor system GONE 30 to 12% of nation’s wealth Need to rebuild or RECONSTRUCT
