Preparing For the War.Preparing For the War.Preparation

Propaganda- Propaganda was everywhere, twisting words and trying to

influence everyone. This sparked some passion in the Union

as they wanted to reunite the North and South, back into

America.

Conscription- Conscription is when the government drafts men into the

army to fight for their country. The Union abused this as they

wanted to utilize their advantage against the confederates,

the number of men. Many opposed this as the unwillingsoldiers made poor fighting men.

Training- Training was rigorous for the soldiers as a lot of them were

freshly picked off from their couches and never had military

experiences.

Equipment- A soldier needed to carry everything he must need to sustain

his own life and fight. He would need water, food, and

shelter. Each soldier had a haversack, a huge backpack, to

carry there blankets, extra pair of shoes, canteen,

ammunition, and clothing.

mericans During

the Civil War

ACamp Life The life of a Union soldier was much better than that of a

confederate soldiers. Union soldiers were equipped with bette

items, stayed in nicer environments, and fed better and

healthier food.

When the soldiers werent fighting, most of the time they spentdrilling on battle techniques and strategies.

When the soldiers got bored, they played games like dominoes,cards, and chess.

Even though the Union soldiers were given better livingconditions, their survival rate still wasnt high. Many soldiers

died even before getting to the battlefield through diseases

spread due to the unhygienic conditions.

Soldiers got really lonely and sent home many lettersexplaining the pain they went through and how much they

missed being home. The letters were a big motivation for the

soldiers.

men as they left for war. Women had to take

take part in their front yard. Whether it was a

the Civil WarEffects of the War

Like any other wars, the civil war had many devastating effects. Off the

hand, there is the depression that comes from the deaths and losses.Many families had to adjust their way of living. Slavery was abolished

because the Unions won. Many buildings, landscapes, and houses had to

be reconstructed or just cleaned up due to all the destruction caused by

the trenches and artillery fires. At least 618,000 men died fighting.

But there has to be gains from these long lasting and painful wars.

- Slavery was abolished

- 14th and 15th amendment was passed- The North and South re-united to create United States again.- Economic boom in both the North and South
