3. The state of the war
After the battle of Antietam the south was retreating
Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation in January of 1863 because the North was gaining power
However the south started winning victories again shortly after that began to push the battle north into Pennsylvania

4. Gettysburg
This battle raged on from July 1-3, 1863 and took 50,000 lives in total
Lee felt if the South could push the battles north into Penn. Then they may give up
Lee’s forces were outnumbered and were running out of supplies
The South tried to get the high ground and failed
The South lost the battle and retreated back to Virginia and didn’t go further North

6. Chickamauga
The first major battle fought in G.A was ten miles south of Tennessee in Chickamauga
The second bloodiest battle of the civil war was fought here where over 34,000 died in this conflict

7. Strategizing Situation
The goal is to get all the markers to the outside row of desks and then pass them back to the center
The only way to get it to the outside is to pass them without someone stopping you
Every 30 sec. I will add a new person to block trade
You have to be sneaky because if the monitors catch you then you have to give up the marker

8. Union Blockade Basically seen as the anaconda plan
The goal is to isolate the South’s cotton from European weapons
The North would use it’s military to surround the coast of the south and cut off trade routes within the country as well
Georgia tried to sneak past the North’s navy and built gun boats like the iron clad, they could not get out
