Presentation transcript:

Northern Strategy Squeeze the South “Anaconda” plan Blockade Southern ports Gain control of Mississippi Cairo, IL to New Orleans

Northern Strategy Isolate and disorganize Confederacy Southern Union sympathizers get South to surrender Designed by Gen. Scott Keep border states in Union GOAL: No secession & compliance with constitution

Southern Strategy Defensive war of attrition (strategy of winning by not losing) Wear out opponent G. Washington’s strategy in Revolutionary War Get European support Jackson, Beauregard, Lee

Southern Strategy South - twice the size of 13 original colonies GOAL: Secession and independence Jefferson Davis - President

Civil War Armaments & Technology

“Why did they fight in lines?” “Were they Stupid?” NO!!!! Psychology – closeness in numbers. Battles were terrifying bullets actually hit somebody Could see flags above firing smoke fog for formation

Howitzers Threw 12-pound shell up to 1000 yards (1/2 mile) Could be easily disassembled & carried by mule Smoothbore Howitzer

Gatling Gun Limited use in the Civil War rounds (bullets) in one minute

Ironclad ships Iron covered vessels Revolving turret (cannon) Brings an end to tall-masted wooden military ships

Springfield Rifle Union Army’s standard weapon Rifled bore - greater accuracy yards (compared to 80 yards for smooth bore weapons) Gives rise to trench warfare Single Shot? Why not multiple shot?

Disease Disease was the chief killer in the war - claiming two soldiers for every one killed in battle. Hospitals were so unsanitary that one Union soldier lamented: "If a fellow has [to go to the] Hospital, you might as well say goodbye.” -Ken Burns - Civil War
