Why did each side think they’d win?
South North
“All we ask is to be let alone,” Anaconda Plan - blockade
King Cotton Industry – RR, goods, power
Gentlemen and Generals More people – 22 mil vs 9 mil many of which were slaves
Union Strategy – Anaconda Plan
Fort Sumter
• 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!
• This also cost the US the best general in the country; Robert E. Lee.
I’m confused; please sum this up.
• Crash Course - The Battles
1st Bull Run – proved to all the war would NOT be shortAntietam – single bloodiest day of the war, fittingly it was a drawGettysburg – turning point of the Civil WarVicksburg – gave North control of the Mississippi R.Sherman’s March – culminated in the conquer of the SouthLee’s surrender at Appomattox Courthouse – 4/9/1861; Lee surrenders his sword
*These are the battles that will be tested.
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
• 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
Turning Civilians to Soldiers
War Technology
• Ironclads – remember Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters?
• If you're curious.
Turning Points
Emancipation Proclamation – careful what you think.
Gettysburg – Costliest battle of the war
