2 Chapter 15 the Civil War

3 Causes of the war 1. Slavery 2. Sectionalism 3. States' rights

4 Slavery The southern states were still reliant on slavery Some of these states started to believe in the idea of Succession: The act of leaving an organization, in this case the United States States of the Deep South, which had the greatest concentration of plantations, were the first to secede.

5 In the North Unlike the South, the North relied on industry This gave them a advantage in the war, because they could produce more war items faster. The north also had many people believed in cause of abolition.

6 Abolition Abolition: putting an end to something by law. In our case we are talking about putting an end to slavery. These contrasting ideas led to sectionalsim

7 Warm-up we are going to get going fast today so have a place where you can take notes open and one piece of paper torn out of a notebook Also have parent contact sheets out if you have them. On that new sheet of paper define Succession Abolition Sectionalism

8 Sectionalism refers the tensions that existed between the North and south do to differences in how the areas operated. Economic= The north was industrial, the south farmed Socially=The north had no slaves, south had many slaves. Politically= The North accepted big government, south pushed for state government

9 1861 As Lincoln prepared to take office there were two large questions he faced. Did the power of the Federal Government outweigh state’s rights? Can some one actually be allowed to own another person?

10 Warm-up Define the following on your warm-up page: Sectionalism Abolition Succession How are the North and South Different?

11 Succession The election of Lincoln in 1860 lead to the succession of seven deep south states. Originally the decision occurred December 20, 1860 in Charleston South Carolina. As well as the southern states or con federacy choosing Jefferson Davis to be their president.

12 Breaking Points Fort Sumter Fort Sumter was off the coast of South Carolina a key succession state Lincoln refused to turn over Ft. Sumter Jefferson Davis ordered the attack the fort. After fort Sumter was lost to the South or confederacy, Lincoln ordered troops to retake the fort.

15 Advantages and disadvantages North: Physical strength, industrial build up, railroads. South: On the defense, Stronger fighting men, better trained officers

16 The Difference between the two side U.S.=Referred to as the Union or Union army, President Abraham Lincoln, uniform color blue. Confederacy= Referred to as the confederate army, President Jefferson Davis, Uniform color grey

17 Green backs Both sides had trouble supplying troops. Both sides banks printed paper money known as greenbacks to business that produced for the war. This lead to runaway inflation

18 Anaconda Policy The Anaconda policy was a major strategy of the Union army to blockade the coasts of the South. And control the flow of supplies. Attacking and invading the Capital of Virginia, while invading Texas and Louisiana

19 The Battle OF Bull Run Considered to be a blunder for union forces. General Winfield Scott lead a poorly trained group of Union soldiers against General Thomas J. Jackson. Jackson with highly trained troops won the day.

20 Robert. E. Lee head General of the confederacy At one point Lee was offered the position of leading the forces of the union. Lee was more successful in succeeding in complex plans. Remained loyal to the South's capital of Virginia.

21 The Future Success of Ulysses S. Grant U.S. Grant was a well known from the Mexican- American war. Due to his Alcoholism. Over the course of the civil war he would eventually become the head to the Union Army.

22 Antietam In 1863 just before the coming of Winter, Lee along with the confederate army attempted to take Washington D.C. and win the war. The battle that occurred with U.S. or Union Army was the bloodiest battle of war devastating both armies.

23 The Emancipation Proclamation By 1862 Lincoln was looking for strategic means to win the war. He would propose his first draft of the Emancipation proclamation. Bill was passed January of 1863. It stated that all slaves in the confederate states were free. Lincoln made sure not to free slaves in the northern states for fear of angering southern allies.

24 African Americans in the war African Americans played a critical role in keeping the union together. 200,000 volunteered and were segregated and lead by white officers. Most famous was the victory at Fort Wagner.

25 Turning the Tide Grant continued to have a successful series of battles. Eventually after a drawn out siege hew would take the strategic point of Vicksburg of Mississippi. During the siege the confederacy sent Lee to invade Pennsylvania in hope it would stop Grant’s assault

26 Turning Point in the War Gettysburg The battle lasted three days By the end Lee had lost a significant amount of his forces Lee would never get a chance again to march on Washington. After this point we see Sherman’s march to the sea and the Union’s push into the south.

27 Appomattox On April 9, 1865 Robert E. Lee Surrender the confederacy to the union Army and U.S. Grant at the Appomattox court house in Virginia.
