Transcript What changes came about during the Civil War

consider:
Think of someone close to you (i.e. a
sibling or a close friend). There are
times when you have disagreed with
that person. Would you
let someone else attack
them for what they
believed? Would you
help someone else
attack that person close
to you?
essential question:
What defined the actual split between
the North and the South?
(Upper South Secedes and War Begins / Advantages)
We have done fill in the blank notes a few times now. For this section,
you must read to preview. The only way to know what will go in the
blanks and what additional information to write is to listen carefully to
the discussion after you preview.
Upper South Secedes and War Begins:
Fort Sumter April 12, 1861
Fort Sumter April 12, 1861

(MO, KY,
MD, DL)
Upper
South
(AR, TN,
NC, VA)
Advantages:
After Fort Sumter, both sides are established:
11 Southern states in the Confederacy vs.
the rest of the United States in the Union.
Fill in the blanks at the top of each chart based on
which side, Union or Confederacy, had those
advantages (see p. 229 in text for more information).
Then, we will view some slides that will give you
information to put under “Other things to consider.”
The United States as they were before the war. Note that
Washington, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, and New Mexico
were territories, and not states, in 1861. This indicates that
few people besides Native Americans lived there.
The eleven Confederate States. Note that Missouri,
Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware did not secede, though
they were slave states. West Virginia formed early in the
war when it was occupied by Union forces, but did not join
the Union as a state until 1863.
The capitals of the North and South are about 100 miles
apart: Union (USA) capital is Washington, DC and
Confederate States of America (CSA) capital: Richmond, VA.
The North had a lot of advantages, but did they have the
most important advantages?
Now, compare and rank (1-10) all of the
advantages in your groups.
1 = most important overall advantage
10 = least important overall advantage
Who had the advantage in the Civil War?
Possible main idea sentences:
• The Union had the advantage in the Civil War.
• The Confederacy had the advantage in the Civil War.
Possible support sentences:
• The Union had a larger population to use as soldiers.
• The Confederacy had higher morale due to their land
being invaded by outsiders.
essential question:
What defined the actual split between
the North and the South (Maps & Strategies)?
What to label on
your map (see
notes, textbook
pages 233 and
1010-11, and
map on the left):
Confederacy
Union
border states
Richmond, VA
Washington,
DC
Mississippi
River
Atlantic Ocean
Consider the map and the advantages that
each side had.
What are some possible strategies that each
side might use?
In other words, what would you do if you
were a Union general to win? What would
you do if you were a Confederate general to
win?
How can I
attack the
other
side?
The North’s Plan:
The Anaconda Plan
The Anaconda Plan
1. blockade (block with
ships) Confederate coast
2. take Mississippi to cut
Confederacy in two
3. capture CSA capital of
Richmond
As you illustrate this on your map, consider these
illustrations. If you illustrate the map on the front,
please write “see front” on the map on the back.

1. blockade (block with
ships) Confederate coast
2. take Mississippi to cut
Confederacy in two
3. capture CSA capital of
Richmond
The South’s strategy:
1. Defend the homeland
The South’s strategy:
2. Use King Cotton to get foreign countries
to recognize the CSA and help
“RECOGNITION”
OR “NO.”

“Can you
recognize that
thing they call
the C.S.A?” Nap.
“Well, I think I
could if ‘twere
not for that Big
Fellow who
stands in front.”
consider:
Who do you think had the better strategy at
the beginning of the Civil War? Why?
essential question:
How effective were the strategies
used by the North and the South in
fighting the Civil War
(July 1861 - July 1862)?
War in the East (1861-62):
1st Bull Run July 1861
War in the East (1861-62):
Confederate General Robert
E. Lee
Union General “Tardy” George
McClellan
The Oceanfront (1861-62):
The War in the West 1861-1862
This time period covers July of 1861 to July of 1862,
the first year of the war.
Which parts of the Union’s Anaconda Plan
was working in the first year of the war?
Explain.
Within your groups, quiz each other on the terms
that we have covered so far about the Civil War.
Whoever woke up the latest this morning will start.
As you are being quizzed, write the terms that you
know, sort of know, and don’t know in the chart on
your page. We will switch after a couple minutes.

by the North and the South in fighting
the Civil War (Turning Points: 1862-1863)?
TURNING POINTS 1862-1863

• victory more likely if war was longer
• supplies running low; link to Europe all but
gone when the South needed trade and
recognition
TURNING POINTS 1862-1863
New strategies:
• South: attack North in the North

side in the second year of the war
(1862-1863), the Union or the
Confederacy? Explain.
consider:
What defines
modern warfare
(military-style
fighting today)?
essential question:
What changes
came about
during the Civil
War in America
(the Civil War as the
first modern war)?
Things that define modern warfare:
1. It is impersonal (you do not see who you are killing).
2. There is mass killing (many people killed at once).

2. There is mass killing (many people killed at once).
On your list of Civil War firsts, circle anything that
meets the qualifications for modern warfare.
Also, underline anything that seems like an important
development in how war is fought, but does not define
modern warfare.

Overall, Republicans pass legislation easily, such as the
Homestead Act.

consider:
If you were an African American in the
United States during the Civil War,
would you join the Union army? Why
or why not?
essential question:
What changes came about
during the Civil War
(discrimination of African American
soldiers)?
Based on the movie Glory,
document three ways that
you see African American
soldiers face discrimination
and inequality as soldiers
for the Union army. Also,
answer the questions that
follow.
consider:
What will it take for the Confederacy
to give up and rejoin the Union?
essential question:
How effective were the strategies used
by the North and the South in fighting
the Civil War (the war ends, 1864-65)?
END IS NEAR 1864-1865
Grant as General-in-Chief of Union forces:
constant, coordinated attacks
END IS NEAR 1864-1865
Lee needs
battles to be
costly in Union
lives
Inflation is just one way that the
Confederacy was struggling by the last
year of the war.
END IS NEAR 1864-1865
Grant’s plan
was costly, but
works
William T. Sherman’s March to the Sea
