The Confederate Nation 14.4

Leadership Jefferson Davis was unable to communicate the meaning of the war effectively to ordinary men & women. Davis couldn’t control obstructionist Gov’s Davis inferior to Lincoln as wartime leader

Government Confederacy became far more centralized –Gov’t control RR –Gov’t builds factories Failed to use greatest resource - cotton

King Cotton Diplomacy Tried to stop production for food instead Banned cotton exports to urge GB to get involved England has more cotton than it needs (59,60) England won’t intervene b/c needs Union wheat as much as cotton

The Inner Civil War The draft encouraged class divisions among whites. Wealthy could hire substitutes 20-negro rule (benefits overseers & planter sons) Yeomen see struggle for Independence as “a rich man’s war & a poor man’s fight”

Economic Problems Shortages of essential items –Salt –Corn –Meat Farms, plantations, businesses, RR ruined

Nonslaveholders Unfair Share of Burden Gov’t borrowed heavily & printed a lot of money b/c planters don’t want to pay taxes. Inflation results & hurts lower class the most Officers seize farm goods to feed army & pay w/ worthless money Yeomen farmers sink into poverty & debt

Food riots 1863 (Richmond VA) 100,000 deserters by war’s end “men can’t be expected to fight for the government that permits their wives & children to starve.”

Women & the Confederacy Southern women had an even greater burden on them than in the North Women forced to manage farms & plantations “government girls” Legendary self-sacrfice, but as deaths mount many believe war isn’t worth it Home front morale declines & desertions increase

Black Soldiers for the Confederacy A shortage of manpower led the CC in 1865 to authorize the arming of slaves. War ended before black soldiers recruited. Decision undermined slavery & proslavery argument

Howell Cobb GA Planter “The day you make soldiers of them is the beginning of the end of the revolution. If slaves make good soldiers, our whole theory of slavery is wrong.”
