 The Union troops made the first attack  Many of the Confederates began to retreat  A Confederate General stood his ground and yelled at the troops to fight  According to legend, a young Confederate said, “look at General Jackson, he is standing like a stone wall.”  This encouraged the Confederates to rally and fight the Union  The Union troops were forced to retreat and fall back to Washington D.C.

 The Union Army was under the leadership of General Winfield Scott (at first).  General Scott suggested the “Anaconda Plan.”  This plan called for a three pronged strategy › First, attack from the North › Secondly, attack from the West (western theater) › Third, set up a naval blockade along the Atlantic coast so the Confederates could not get any supplies › Using this plan, the Union would “squeeze” the Confederates to death

 The Confederate government was headed by President Jefferson Davis  He chose a former Union officer to lead the Confederate forces  This General’s name was Robert E. Lee  The Confederates knew that they could not become independent without help from Europe.
