Today’s Warm Up Pick up the “Going By the Numbers” handout at the front of the room and borrow a highlighter if needed. Take out your class notes. Be ready to start when the bell rings!

Regional Differences Graphic Organizer Step 1: As you read, “Going by the Numbers” create a t-chart in your notes to categorize each advantage of the North and South

Create Sub-Categories Step 2: Break your lists into smaller categories. Brainstorm at least 3 sub-categories for both the North and the South. Note: The sub-categories you create for the North don’t have to match the sub-categories you create for the South.

Sub-Categories Sub-Category 1: Meats Sub-Category 2: Vegetables Chicken Pork Beef Sub-Category 2: Vegetables Broccoli Green Beans Corn Sub-Category 3: Junk Food Skittles M&Ms Hershey’s Bar

Let’s be more DESCRIPTIVE For each sub-category you create, provide a “SO WHAT?” section. Showcase why each created an advantage when it came to fighting a war. For example, Sub-Category 1: Meats SO WHAT?: Foods with lots of protein; this helps to build physical strength Sub-Category 2: Vegetables Example? Sub-Category 3: Junk Food

Instructions & Requirements Create a graphic organizer that accurately categorizes the strengths each side had in the Civil War – be creative with your design! Include a minimum of three sub-categories for both the North and the South; your sub-categories for the North will probably be different than your categories for the South. Each sub-category must include a SO WHAT? Section. Showcase why each created an advantage when it came to fighting a war. Include at least three visuals for both the North and the South (one visual for each sub-category)

Civil War 1861-1865 Today’s LEQ: Was the outcome of the Civil War inevitable?

Let’s Review During the Antebellum period, there were many events leading up to the Civil War. Some would argue war was inevitable. But, was it inevitable that the North would win?

Outbreak of the Civil War At the time of the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861, seven states had seceded from the Union. States in the upper South faced a difficult decision – to secede or not. Border States – between the North and South became very important to the North DE, MD, WV, KY, & MO

Regional Differences The country, now formally divided between the Union and the Confederacy, braced for war. Both the North and South had strengths and weaknesses resulting from their regional differences

Regional Differences Union Strengths Confederate Strengths More railroads More factories Most weapons produced in the North Better economy Larger Population Functioning government and standing army Plenty of food – more grain production & livestock More trained officers Most military schools located in the South Defensive Position No reason to invade the North Knew the terrain Fighting to preserve their way of life

Regional Differences Union Weaknesses Confederate Weaknesses Fighting an offensive war Didn’t know the terrain Going against some of the best officers in the U.S. army Less population, railroads, and wealth Agrarian society Less weapons manufacturing Food shortages focused on cash crops like cotton instead of food crops
