William Tecumseh Sherman Ending the Civil War “War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.” William Tecumseh Sherman

Grant’s Strategy: Had Lee outnumbered, both of them knew it. Pick up pace of the war, wear Confederates down William Sherman divide the Confederacy while Grant harassed Lee’s army. Grant eventually cornered Lee at Petersburg

Sherman’s March to the Sea Destroyed 50 mile wide path through state of Georgia Killed livestock, destroyed farms, burned crops Union Bow-tie: Sherman twisted up railroads so southerners couldn’t send materials to Confederate army. Destroyed city of Atlanta = Lincoln’s re-election.

Lee Surrenders: Appomattox Courthouse: where Lee surrenders on April 9, 1865 officially ending the Civil War.

Terms of Surrender Confederate soldiers take oath of loyalty to U.S. Lincoln granted all of them amnesty committed treason. Officers keep their horses and weapons Union soldiers ordered to remain silent as southerners turned in weapons. Symbolic of unity

Lincoln’s Assassination John Wilkes Boothe: first man in American history to assassinate an American president. Watching a play at Ford’s Theater. Part of a larger plot to throw gov’t into chaos and save the south.
