Events of 1861 – 1862 Of the American Civil War

Federal fort in South Carolina Confederate States attack on April 12, 1861 After 34 hours of bombardment the Union forces under Robert Anderson surrender No casualties, but this begins the war that many knew was brewing for some time Was Lincoln’s actions in resupplying the fort an innocent action, or a means of sparking a conflict with the South?

Before the war is superintendant of West Point in New York Doesn’t agree with slavery, but joins the Confederate States because his home state of Virginia has seceded Most experienced general in both the North and the South Do you think there are other soldiers like Lee that didn’t believe in slavery but fought for the Confederates? Why do you think someone would do that?

Confederate strategy one of defense, drag out the war and hope that Northern citizens lose the lust for war Confederate states also hoping to be recognized by foreign powers (France and Britain) as an independent nation Union strategy one of containment, Anaconda Plan, to surround the South by sea cutting off importing and exporting to foreign powers and controlling the Mississippi River and New OrleansAnaconda Plan
