SWBAT: Explain why the Civil War is considered the first “modern war”

Do Now Review the “MAIN CAUSES OF THE CIVIL WAR” and complete the three questions below. How many of these causes are isolated from the institution of Slavery? Is it fair to say that slavery was the main cause? Explain. To what extent were political beliefs regarding power of the federal government the main cause?

The First Modern War After reading about technological developments that affected the civil war, complete the questions that follow: Explain why the American Civil War is often called the first modern war. What would be the equivalent of the military balloons in today’s modern war devices?

Inaugural Address Lincoln vowed to preserve the Union “hold, occupy, and possess” all Federal property in the South “physically speaking, we cannot separate” Careful not to offend border slave states with “hawkish” rhetoric Republicans and Democratic Unionists supported the speech Lower South saw it as a war message

Fort Sumter Located at the mouth of Charleston Harbor One of the last remaining Federal forts in the South The fort commander notified Lincoln the fort would soon be out of supplies & without them, he would have to surrender to the surrounding confederate forces

Fort Sumter Lincoln was in a no-win situation Not sending supplies would ruin credibility to uphold the Union Sending supplies would be perceived as an act of war by Confederacy North did not have any more soldiers to send on such short notice Lincoln notified South Carolina he was sending only supplies & no additional soldiers to the fort If war broke out, Lincoln wanted the South to fire first April 9, 1861, a ship carrying supplies left New York

Fort Sumter April 12, 1861: 70 confederate cannons began bombardment of Fort Sumter Federal troops held for 34 hours before they were forced to surrender Troops allowed to return North No loss of life on either side in the first official skirmish of the Civil War

Wrap Up Analyze the two charts, then determine & explain how the different economies of the North & South affected the war effort. If one side has stronger resources, does that mean they will always win? Explain.
