DAY 1 & 2 - Background
•Scott’s Great Snake – aka The Anaconda Plan
–Strategy - Naval Blockade & control
Mississippi River from Illinois to New Orleans

And so it begins…
DAY 1 & 2 - Background

•Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee
•Grant – General failure, aka “Unconditional Surrender
Grant”, “He Fights!”, scrappy and into the scorched
Earth/destroy the South war philosophy
•Lee – a good man & great soldier, family military back
to Revolution, still holds record for only West Point
graduate without a single demerit against him, married

not advance further North http://www.history.com/videos/the-battle-ofgettysburg
DAY 5 – Emancipation
• Bell Work - Questions on battle chart? (Have it on
your Desk)
• Read the “Gettysburg” article and answer the
following in your notes binder – “General Pickett is
famous throughout History for leading the futile
charge at Gettysburg. How would July 3rd have been
different if he had not led the charge on Cemetary
Ridge?”
• Watch Gettysburg video if not done the day before
DAY 5 – Emancipation
The Emancipation Proclamation – came after Union
wins at Antietam – emancipated no one at all!!!
• President Lincoln did not feel he had the
Constitutional right to end Slavery
•Many in North felt it should not be a goal of the Union
to end slavery
•Lincoln knew he needed to use his Commander-InChief role (War Powers) to emancipate them - thus the
proclamation became a military strategy
DAY 5 – Emancipation
http://www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/abrahamlincoln/videos/gilder-lehrman-the-emancipation-proclamation
So Stated:
1. Military order that freed slaves only in areas
controlled by Confederacy
2. Allowed slavery in border states to continue to exist
3. Impossible to enforce because Confederacy was not
under Federal control
4. Although the words were powerful, the impact was
purely symbolic
DAY 6 – Daily Life
•CENTERS - Using your worksheet, read & examine the
sources and answer the prompts (Prisoners of
War/Desertion, Belle Boyd- Girl Spy, Drummer Boys)
•The Undertaker’s Role - We will read this as a class
–Dog tags created for identification purposes
DAY 7 – Daily Life
• From the beginning of the Civil War, President Lincoln
argued that the Union forces were not fighting to end
slavery but to prevent the disintegration of the United
States
• Abolitionists - ending slavery was the reason for the war
& black people should be able to join the fight for their
own freedom
• They were not allowed to serve as soldiers in the Union
Army until January 1, 1863 - when the Emancipation
Proclamation decreed that “such persons [that is, AfricanAmerican men] of suitable condition, will be received into
the armed services of the United States.”
DAY 7 – The 54th Massachusetts Infantry
•http://www.history.com/topics/the-54th-massachusetts-infantry
•Led by Robert Gould Shaw - prominent abolitionist family
in Boston, Mass
•Fort Wagner - heroic, kept going, a brave charge
although they lost
•William Carney - first black man ever to receive the
Congressional Medal of Honor, “Flag never touched the
ground”
•Willing to sacrifice their lives for a nation that they were
not citizens of…(Glory
http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi732561689/)
•
DAY 7 – Gettysburg
• Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is regarded as
one of the most powerful and poignant speeches in
American History
• In November 1863, President Abraham Lincoln was
invited to deliver remarks at the official dedication
ceremony for the National Cemetery of Gettysburg in
Pennsylvania, on the site of one of the bloodiest and
most decisive battles of the Civil War
• Though he was not the featured orator that day,
Lincoln’s 273-word address would be remembered as one
of the most important speeches in American history
•
DAY 7 – Gettysburg
• In it, he invoked the principles of human
equality contained in the Declaration of
Independence and connected the sacrifices of
the Civil War with the desire for “a new birth
of freedom,” as well as the all-important
preservation of the Union created in 1776 and
its ideal of self-government
• https://youtu.be/9TCMHVmNc5w
The Gettysburg Address
DAY 8 – The War Comes to a Close
• Sherman’s March to the Sea - Spring of 1864 Union
General William Tecumseh Sherman leaves with
100,000 troops from TN to Atlanta, GA - goal of
taking out that important railroad link
• Sept. 2, 1864 - Atlanta falls after heavy
fire/artillery and is evacuated “War is war and not
popularity-seeking”
• Helps to re-elect increasingly unpopular Lincoln in a
landslide
DAY 8 – The War Comes to a Close
• Sherman practiced Total War - destroying all civilian
and economic resources
• “Make Georgia Howl”, freed slaves, burned
plantations (Gone with the Wind)
• Break the South’s will by marching through heart of
the Confederacy - instilled a hatred of the North that
would last generations (aka “The War of Northern
Aggression”)
http://www.history.com/topics/american-civilwar/american-civil-war-history/videos/shermansterrifying-tactics
DAY 9 – The South Surrenders
• Early April 1865 - Sherman closes in on NC, Grant
breaks Petersburg, and Lee retreats from Richmond
• Grant surrounds Lee in VA and Lee tries to get to the
Carolinas but could not break through the Union Line
• April 9, 1865 - “There is nothing left for me to do
but go and see General Grant...and I would rather die
a thousand deaths” Lee surrenders at Appomattox
Courthouse
• Confederate troops would be fed, allowed to keep
horses, not tried for treason
DAY 9 – Causes & Effects of the Civil War
•DISAGREEMENT OVER
THE INSTITUTION OF
SLAVERY
•ECONOMIC DIFFERENCES
•PLOTICAL DIFFERENCES –
STATES’ RIGHTS VERSUS
FEDERAL POWER
(federalism vs. antifederalism)
•
•
•
•
•
•
620,000 Americans killed
End of Slavery in the South
(although majority of freed had
no homes or jobs)
Southern economy in ruins
Military Districts created
Tremendous amount of hostility
between North and South
Life as citizens difficult for
African-Americans especially in
the South (civil rights)
DAY 10 – Effects of the Civil War
PRESIDENT LINCOLN
• Revenue Act of 1862 established the United States' first
income tax, largely to pay the costs of total war &
the Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged settlement of the
West by offering 160 acres of free land to settlers
• Created the Department of Agriculture & formally
instituted the Thanksgiving holiday. Greatly restricted the
civil liberties of due process & freedom of the press
DAY 10 – Effects of the Civil War
On April 14, 1865, while attending a play at Ford’s
Theatre in Washington, D.C., Abraham Lincoln was shot
by Confederate sympathizer, John Wilkes Booth. The
assassination was part of a larger plot to eliminate the
Northern government that also left Secretary of
State William Seward grievously injured. Lincoln died
the following day, and with him the hope of
reconstructing the nation without bitterness
DAY 10 – Effects of the Civil War
President Davis
•Davis was devastated by the fall of the Confederacy. Refusing to admit
defeat, he hoped to flee to a sympathetic foreign nation such as Britain
or France, and was weighing the merits of forming a government in exile
when he was arrested by a detachment of the 4th Michigan Cavalry
•A certain amount of controversy surrounds his capture, as Davis was
wearing his wife’s black shawl when the Union troops cornered him. The
Northern press ridiculed him as a coward, alleging that he had disguised
himself as a woman in an ill-fated attempt to escape. However, Davis, and
especially his wife, Varina, maintained that he was ill and that Varina had
lent him her shawl to keep his health up during their difficult journey
DAY 10 – Effects of the Civil War
President Davis
• Imprisoned for two years at Fort Monroe, Virginia, Davis was indicted
for treason, but was never tried–the federal government feared that
Davis would be able prove to a jury that the Southern secession of 1860
to 1861 was legal. Varina worked determinedly to secure his freedom, and
in May 1867 Jefferson Davis was released on bail, with several wealthy
Northerners helping him pay for his freedom
•After a number of unsuccessful business ventures, he retired to
Beauvoir, his home near Biloxi, Mississippi, and began writing his twovolume memoir The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government (1881).
He died in 1889 and was buried at New Orleans; four years later, his
body was moved to its permanent resting spot in Richmond, Virginia
DAY 10 – Effects of the Civil War
• General Grant
•After the Civil War, President
Andrew Johnson named Grant
Secretary of War over the newly
reunited nation
•In 1868, running against
Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant was
elected eighteenth President of
the United States
• Unfortunately, Grant’s
administration was riddled with
corruption & scandal – lots of
scandal!!!
DAY 10 – Effects of the Civil War
General Grant
•Following his second term in
office, Grant made a triumphal
tour of the world
• In 1884, he lost his entire
savings to a corrupt bank. To
make up some of his losses, he
was inspired to write his
excellent autobiography, Personal
Memoirs of U.S. Grant, finishing
the two-volume set only a few
days before dying of cancer at
the age of sixty-three
• Ulysses S. Grant is buried in
New York City in the largest
mausoleum of its kind in the
United States. Reminiscent of
Napoleon's tomb in
Paris, Grant's tomb is a National
Memorial
DAY 10 – Effects of the Civil War
General Lee
•After Robert E. Lee surrendered
at Appomattox courthouse on
April 9, 1865, the general was
pardoned by President Lincoln. He
was unable to return to his estate
in Arlington, Virginia, however,
because it now sat in the middle
of a national cemetery,
overlooking the graves of
thousands of union soldiers
•Lee and his family instead moved to
Lexington, Virginia, where he became
the president of Washington College
-he accepted this low-profile post,
which paid only $1,500 a year,
because he felt it unseemly to profit
after such a bloody and divisive
conflict
•In 1865, Lee signed an amnesty
oath, asking once again to become a
citizen of the United States - he did
so as an act of encouragement for
confederate soldiers to rejoin the
United States
DAY 10 – Effects of the Civil War
General Lee
•Lee's own desire to become an
American citizen fell victim to
fate. His oath of allegiance was
misplaced, and he was still
considered a guest in his own
country when he died of heart
failure on October 12, 1870.
Lee's oath was only discovered
100 years later in the National
Archives
•On August 5, 1975, at a
ceremony at Arlington House,
President Gerald Ford called Lee
an example to succeeding
generations and had his
citizenship restored. He is buried
on the grounds of the former
Washington College, now known as
Washington and Lee University
