The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order ending slavery in the states in rebellion (Confederacy). Military strategy to hurt the South. Prevent Great Britain from siding with the Confederacy.

North: Changed the focus of the war from holding the Union together to also include the abolition of slavery. Many whites in the North stopped volunteering as a result. A draft became necessary South: The Confederate army had lost so many men to that point that the South had to resort to a military draft.

Enrollment Act of Conscription-March 3, Draft raised about 150,000 troops. First draftees were drawn on July 11, Commutation Fee: allowed wealthy to buy their way out of service. Substitutes: mostly poor who could not buy their way out of service.

Irish and poor immigrants were upset about the inequalities in both their ability to get good jobs and in the draft. Mobs rioted for three days. Attacked, lynched and beat blacks. Looted stores, burnt buildings.

Both sides fought hard for two days. Lee risks everything on a suicide charge across an open field that became known as Pickett’s charge. Lee lost a third of his men. He retreated back into Virginia.

Gettysburg was a turning point in the war. The South wouldn’t have enough men to mount a major attack. Union Casualties : 23,000 Confederate Casualties: 28,000.

Filled tunnel with Dynamite and blew it up. Put too much Dynamite in the tunnel and blew a deep crater in the ground. As Union soldiers advanced they fell into the crater and became sitting ducks for confederates. Battle of the crater photo

Petersburg fell on April 1, Two days later Richmond fell. Many casualties: Grant lost nearly half his army (50,000 men). Lee fled with 30,000 men.
