11 Read: continued Question: Go over the questions to read with a purpose. Why were the battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg so significant? What advantage did Union forces gain by fighting on higher ground in the Battle of Gettysburg? What qualities did Grant have that helped him defeat Lee? How did Grant s new strategy defeat the Confederacy? Why do you think Grant gave generous terms of surrender to Lee? In what ways did the Civil War transform the nation? Read/RAP: Read each section below. Stop. Ask yourself the main idea and details. Paraphrase (put it in your own words). 23. One American s Story Tillie witnessed Gettysburg, PA, battle & tended Union soldiers who were wounded. 24. Union Victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg In 1863, CSA General Lee invaded North again. FATAL mistake! Gettysburg & Vicksburg are turning points in war. 25. Lee Invades the North Lee s victory at Chancellorsville motivated him to invade North again. In June 1863, he crossed into US territory. Meets up with US forces at Gettysburg, PA and fight begins on July 1, The Battle of Gettysburg 3-day battle was Union win for US Gen. George Meade. On 3 rd day, CSA Gen. Pickett led the disastrous Pickett s Charge. USA dead 23,000 (1/4), CSA 28,000 (1/3). Lee s hopes of winning war crushed and he runs back to VA. Meade lets him go, so Lincoln isn t happy with Meade. 28. The Confederacy Falls March 1864, Lincoln picks Grant as head of all US forces (Army of the Potomac). Grant chases Lee in VA, while Sherman tears path of destruction through Deep South. 29. Sherman Takes Atlanta Sherman takes Atlanta, GA, in Sept His victory affected the US presidential election (Lincoln v. McClellan). Lincoln won re-election. Sherman burns Atlanta in Nov. 1864; then starts March to the Sea where he uses total war which destroys EVERYTHING that the South can use to fight. Pulls up railroad tracks (Sherman s bow ties), burns fields, & slaughters livestock in his 60-mile wide & 300-mile long route. 30. Grant s Virginia Campaign Grant pursued Lee all over VA. Grant s strategy was brutal (no retreat, no surrender) and caused high casualties. May 1864, at Wilderness, Grant loses 17,000 men. At Spotsylvania & Cold Harbor in June, 7,000 US lost. US forces dig trenches in Petersburg later in June & starts a 9-month siege. 31. Richmond Falls April 1865, Lee sent CSA Pres. Davis letter telling him to leave Richmond. CSA leaves Richmond & burns anything US could use for war. The fire spreads through most of Richmond. US forces take control of Richmond & Lincoln tours it on April 3 rd. 32. Surrender at Appomattox After Richmond fell, Lee headed west trying to get his troops to supplies. US forces cut him off. Lee surrenders to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, Grant feeds CSA troops & lets them go home with personal items & weapons so long as they promise not to fight anymore. 27. The Siege of Vicksburg July 4, 1863, Vicksburg, MS, CSA surrendered city to General Grant (USA) after a 1½ month siege. Grant has gained total control of Mississippi (MS) River & completed his part of Anaconda Plan. 11

12 Recite/Retell answer the essential questions. 33. Why were the battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg so important? US victory at Vicksburg gives Union full control of Mississippi River and completes 1 part of Anaconda Plan. US victory at Gettysburg stops Lee s 2 nd invasion of North. Lee cannot recover from loss of troops, CSA does not get support from Europe, and CSA cannot force Lincoln into peace talks. Battles at Gettysburg & Vicksburg ARE THE TURNING POINTS in the war. 34. What advantage did Union forces gain by fighting on higher ground in the Battle of Gettysburg? Higher elevation has better cover (can duck behind horizon of hill) Stationary (do not have to advance without cover-out in the open) Can pick off targets without putting themselves at risk Shooting downward goes with gravity not against it (velocity) Troops coming up hill will go slower so they are an easier target 35. What qualities did Grant have that helped him defeat Lee? Willing to lose/sacrifice lives in order to have successful mission Even though he is NOT a master at strategy, Grant sticks to his plan (determined/single-minded) Grant continues to follow Lee, he doesn t quit/give up/take a break Had bigger population to draw from to get replacement (fresh) soldiers Had plenty of supplies 36. How did Grant s new strategy defeat the Confederacy? Continues to follow Lee s forces without giving them a rest Grant doesn t give up 37. Why do you think Grant gave generous terms of surrender to Lee? Grant doesn t want to punish them further Wants to start repairing the damage/hard feelings between North & South They are no longer enemies once the CSA surrenders; they are all one nation again. Grant understands that everyone is tired of war and wants to start healing. 38. In what ways did the Civil War transform the nation? CSA states become part of the USA again Slaves in the South are free Lower population because of so many soldiers dying What led to the North winning the American Civil War? The North won the American Civil War for several reasons. Events Gettysburg; Pickett Vicksburg Appomattox Leaders Sherman; his march Grant; chases Lee Strategies Grant: No surrender Sherman: Total war Finishing Anaconda 12

Terrible Losses Civil War is deadliest in US history! 620,000 men dead (US=360,000; CS=260,000) and 375,000 wounded (US=275,000 and CS=100,000). Many of the wounded suffer health issues for the rest of their lives. Read: continued 22.

Federal government expanded. New banking system created that gave money for building colleges & railroads, and western land to settlers (Homestead Act 1862). Industry replaces farming as national economic base. 25. The Thirteenth Amendment Booker T Washington became free with the passing of the 13 th Amendment. It abolishes slavery and allows former slaves to travel where they want & to work for pay. January 1865 the 13 th Am. approved by Congress and then was ratified by 27 states (8 in South). 21. The South in Ruins War brought disaster to South. 40% of livestock dead & 50% of farm machinery destroyed. 1000s of miles of railroad tracks torn up. Pre-war, South had 30% of nation s wealth and after it only had 12%. South s factories were demolished. It will take several decades for South to fully recover. 15

How might photographs have changed civilians attitudes to war? Actual realistic images of war destroyed the ideas that it was all about excitement & fun-times. Showed brutality of war. 28. What changes did the war bring about? (p.561) Social changes: freed slaves; Afr-Ams serve in military; women become active in nursing Economic changes: income tax created; factory production increases; slave-based economy is destroyed Political changes: federal government becomes more powerful; Military tech changes: new weapons increase casualties; ironclads make wooden warships outdated (obsolete) 29.
