Resources:More factories, more fighting power, greater food production, and a more extensive
railroad system. Lincoln was proved to be a decisive leader, skillful at balancing
political factions. Enormous advantages against the South.
Preparation:Lincoln asked men
to join for only three
months, people sat
around and had a picnic
on the sidelines of the
battle. No one expected
the war to last as much
as it did.
Men were trained
for as little as three weeks,
before they were thrown out
into the battlefield. Thetraining revolved around
getting the men to be
comfortable with the
weapon and learn how to
use it.
A Musket which was the
term used for a Rifle.

“In your hands, my
dissatisfied fellow-
countrymen, and not
in mine, is the
momentous issue of
civil war. The
government will not
assail you. You can
have no conflict
without being
yourselves the
aggressors. You have
no oath registered in
heaven to destroy the
government, while I
shall have the most
solemn one to
"preserve, protect,
and defend it."
-Abraham Lincoln

Fort Henry, along the Tennessee River,
and Fort Donelson on the CumberlandRiver, were two forts built to protect
Tennessee and the deep South from
invasion. On February 6, 1862 Grant
and Officer Foote captured Fort Henry.
They were in a joint army/navy
operation, Grant had 17,000 menassembled, and were transported by 13
transports under Andrew Foote, along
with nine gun boats. Grant’s men landed
approximately three miles South of the
fort. Within an hour of battle the fort
was forced to give up.
The next day, Grant marched 15,000
men 12 miles to Fort Donelson. Grant
struggled the first day and suffered a
heavy loss. He came back the next day
and made the Confederates surrender.

USS Monitor was a 987 ton armored
gunboat, built in New York by JohnEricsson. She was the first of what
became a large number of Monitors in
the United States. First destination after
being commissioned was Hampton
Roads, Virginia. As soon as it arrived, it
was sent to battle against the
Confederates Ironclad. The first battlewas a draw, however, the USS Monitor
prevented the CSS Virginia from gaining
control over Hampton Roads and
preserved the federal blockade of the
Norfolk area.
The Monitor remained to be the
dominant power in the battle betweenthe two, and held control over
Hampton Road, Virginia, giving the
North the upper hand and forcing the
South not to come any closer.

Central Virginia-- Chaos strikes:
The battle of Cold Harbor was almost
like a slaughter house, General Grant
regret the decision of ever fighting the
war with General Lee. It was a tragic
and horrific war. 5,000 - 7,000 men
were killed during the early morning
attacks. There were 14 assaults from
the East against the Confederate mainline. The Federal loses 7,000 men in so
brief action. Everything was out of
control and the number of deaths kept
multiplying. General Grant and General
Lee took days to agree upon a ceasefire
to tend to the wounded and burry the
dead. For days wounded men would beunattended and most died. General Lee
won his battle against the Union forces
killing 50,000 Union men and losing
32,000 men of his own.

Blacks:The United States Civil War began as
an effort to save the Union, and ended
in a fight to abolish Slavery. This
battle was arguably won by slaves,
because slaves contributed
significantly to their freedom and
played a key role in the North’s
victory.
SLAVE MASTERS REACTIONS:
SLAVE MASTERS IN THE SOUTHGREW FEARFUL OF LOSING SLAVES
TO THE UNION ARMIES, THEY
IMPLEMENTED HARSHER
RESTRICTIONS UPON THEIR
SLAVES, OFTEN MOVING THE
ENTIRE PLANTATION FURTHER TO
AVOID NORTHERN CONTACT. SLAVE
MASTERS DIDN’T REALIZE THAT
THESE CHANGES CAUSED SLAVES
TO FLEE, AND THOSE THAT DID
STAY DEMANDED MORE FREEDOM
FROM THEIR MASTERS. THIS CAUSETHE SLAVES TO GAIN SOME POWER,
FORCING MASTERS TO MAKE
OFFERING IN EXCHANGE FOR
LABOR.
Blacks were aided by the decisions
made by the President. The
emancipation Proclamation led to
the eventual freedom of all slaves.
The document made all slaves free
in the areas of the Confederacy that
were in rebellion. Slavery was not
abolished in some border states.
However, since the Proclamation
only affected the states in rebellion,
it didn’t actually free any slaves. It
did, however, strengthen the
Northern war effort. By the end of
the Civil War, 500,000 slaves had
escaped to the North, many joined
the Union Army, which increased
it’s man power.
Result?
BLACKS/ SLAVES ALONG SIDE EITHER
THEIR FAMILIES OR OTHER SLAVES.
The after math of The American Civil War and
the effect it had on Slaves and Black people.
Blacks as slaves working for families in the
South. Women working as baby sitters for the
families children, and men working out in the
fields.

uNION

Under the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, the
North was able to defeat the South in their
aim to freeing the slaves.
Destruct ion and Chaos
A B R A H AM LI NCO L N
Landscape
Because of the Civil
War, not only landscape was burned
or destroyed, towns were destroyedand were left in a way that no human
can live in.
Treatment of Opposing Army
The armies fought against each other
with aims to claim the other, enemies
were usually killed on the battlefield
and none were taken as prisoners of
war.
North’s Gain
The North had gained a
number of soldiers, mainly
blacks and slaves, who have escaped
for their masters in the South to join
the Union army in the cause of freeing
all slaves.
Lasting Impressions
The Southerners didn’t go down
without a fight. They certainly gave
the North a battle to remember.
Northerners were not ready for some
of the attacks made on them.
Conclusion
The Northern Union prevailed and
defeated the Southern Confederates.
Easy battle?

Purpose of Reconstruction:
The most controversial era in
American History. The most important
issue at hand was the rights to vote for
African Americans. The purpose of the
reconstruction was to give African
Americans the right to vote, and to free
all slaves in the South.
Benefits of Reconstruction:
In some states, Tennessee in
particular, elections were very
controversial after the war. in 1867 and
1869 the Tennessee government
banned most ex-Confederates from
voting. This made many whites angry.
in 1870, African- Americans started
being elected to public office for the
first time in Tennessee. The first to be
elected was, Sampson Keeble, a former
slave and barber in Nashville who was
elected to the s tate house of
representatives. By mid-1880s there
were four black men in the state house.
Reconstruction Solution:
Besides the Amendments that
were added to the Constitution, a
simple gathering between both party
leaders to negotiate a settlement or
treaty that would help both parties, andmake it a win-win situation. If only one
party got what they wanted, the other
party would rebel and vise versa.
