The End of the War

Effects of Gettysburg 23,000 Union troops lost 28,000 Confederate troops lost Corpses everywhere, stench unbearable Lee resigned, although resignation not accepted by Jefferson Davis Lee never gets that far North again

Battle of Vicksburg One of 2 Confederate holdouts on Miss. River –If lost, Union has control of Miss. River –Good Location b/c of its height, controlled waterway Began May 1863 After 2 failed frontal assaults, Grant set up siege on Vicksburg –Artillery barrage for several days –Starved out Confederates July 3, Confederates surrendered, city fell July 4 Last Confederate fort fell July 9 at Port Hudson, LA –Confederacy cut in two –No control of Mississippi for transportation

Gettysburg Address Nov ceremony to dedicate cemetery in Gettysburg. Lincoln gave 2 minute speech –“Remade America” –“United States is” instead of “our” – made US realize a collective whole instead of individual states

Wearing Down of Confederacy Vicksburg and Gettysburg cost Confederate manpower Shortage of Food Desertions, Fighting for Union Squabbles within Confederate Governments Movements for Peace in various states

Total War General Grant appointed William Tecumseh Sherman as commander in Mississippi  eventually sent towards GA Total War – fight military, government and CIVILIANS to destroy all ability for enemy to fight Attack and attack again –Huge losses for Union, but they could afford it, South could not –Burned towns, killed animalsBurned towns, killed animals

About three miles from Sparta we struck the 'Burnt Country,' as it is well named by the natives, and then I could better understand the wrath and desperation of these poor people. I almost felt as if I should like to hang a Yankee myself. There was hardly a fence left standing all the way from Sparta to Gordon. The fields were trampled down and the road was lined with carcasses of horses, hogs, and cattle that the invaders, unable either to consume or to carry away with them, had wantonly shot down to starve out the people and prevent them from making their crops. The stench in some places was unbearable; every few hundred yards we had to hold our noses or stop them with the cologne Mrs. Elzey had given us, and it proved a great boon.

Total War Grant appointed William Tecumseh Sherman as commander in MS  eventually sent towards GA Total War – fight military, government and CIVILIANS to destroy all ability for enemy to fight Attack and attack again –Huge losses for Union, but they could afford it, South could not –Burned towns, killed animals As they got close to the end, in NC stopped burning towns and handed out food and supplies

Election of 1864 Democrats upset over length & high casualties of war nominated George McClellan Radical Republicans nominated John C. Fremont as a 3 rd party candidate – wanted harsher proposal for post-Civil War Lincoln chose a pro-Union democrat as VP, but felt he would be badly beaten unless some great change –Andrew Johnson Change came – –August 5 – major Southern Port closed at Mobile –September 2 – Atlanta was taken –End of Sept – Fremont withdrew –October 18 – Confederates out of Northern VA –Absentee ballads from soldiers helped Lincoln win

Appomattox Clear Confederacy was over by March 1865 Grant and Sherman approached Richmond, Confederate Gov. fled and set fire to the city April 9, 1865 – Lee and Grant met in Appomattox village to arrange Confederate surrender –Very generous terms –Within 1 month all resistance ended
