 Read over your description of the images.  Now make connections: write an explanation of how you believe the 3 images are connected/related.

 April 1861 to April 1865  North vs. South  OR: United States of America vs. Confederate States of America  OR: Union vs. Confederacy  The main cause of the war: the issue of slavery  Fought in America, mostly in the South– it is the largest war ever fought on U.S. soil

 The Civil War was the deadliest war in American history with 620,000 deaths  In no other war has America lost so many people  In fact, only with our most recent wars in Iraq & Afghanistan, has the total number of deaths in ALL wars ever fought equaled that killed in the 4 years of the Civil War  For example: Civil War deaths = 620,000 Total deaths from all other American Wars (Revolutionary War to modern-day war in Iraq & Afghanistan) = 655,750

 United States of America  23 states  led by President Abraham Lincoln (who was born in Kentucky)  Confederate States of America  11 states that had seceded (secede = to break away) from the U.S.  Led by President Jefferson Davis (who was born in Kentucky)

 All 11 CSA states were slave states  Most of the 23 USA states were free states– however, 4 slave states remained in the Union and did not secede: Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware  These slave states that stayed in the Union were known as border states

 West Virginia became the 24 th Union state during the Civil War, when it broke away from Virginia  It, too, was a border state– but outlawed slavery during the war

“Wounded men were brought into our house and laid side by side in our halls and rooms…carpets were so saturated with blood as to be unfit for further use.”  The Civil War is known as a total war because no American was left untouched by the conflict  Farms became battlefields  Cities became army camps & training grounds  Homes were transformed into makeshift hospitals

 The Civil War is also considered the first modern war  The armies were equipped with new weapons and instruments of war: artillery with “rifled” or grooved barrels for greater accuracy repeating rifles ironclad ships observation balloons

 The Union (North) won the Civil War  The war changed our nation in two important ways 1. It established our identity as nation that could withstand/survive any challenge– even a war between the states (and since 1865, no state has tried to secede) 2. The war helped change the laws to give “liberty for all” in the U.S.– slavery was abolished (although the road to true equality has been a long one)
