Chapter 15, Section1 The Two Sides The Civil War Chapter 15, Section1 The Two Sides

Quick Review After Lincoln wins the election of 1860 the Confederate States of America had taken shape: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas Following the attack at Fort Sumter 4 more states joined: Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas.

Choosing Sides When the Civil War began, the Union and the Confederate States were concerned with the border states Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware. Following the battle at Fort Sumter, these four border states remained in the Union. Losing the border states would seriously damage the North! All border states had very strategic locations.

President Lincoln acted boldly to ensure the border states remained with the Union. Lincoln told these border states that if they would support the Union, slave owners could keep their slaves. Lincoln used his power to arrest individuals who supported secession. The border states stayed in the Union, but many of their citizens joined the Confederate army.

West Virginia Most white southerners supported secession. However, pockets of Union support existed in Virginia. In 1861, 48 Virginia counties organized themselves as a separate state called West Virginia. West Virginia would support the Union and in 1863 would become a state.

Northern Advantages 1. Larger Population 2. More Industry and Resources 3. More ships and Larger Navy 4. Larger and More Efficient Railroad 5. Leadership of Lincoln

Southern Advantages 1. Strong support from the White Population 2. Fighting in Familiar Territory 3. Military Leadership 4. Military experience of Jefferson Davis

Northern War Aims 1. Bring Southern States back in the Union 2. Put an end to slavery

Northern Strategy 1. Blockade Southern Ports 2. Gain Control of Mississippi River 3. Take Richmond, Virginia (Confederate Capital)

Southern War Aims Win recognition as a free and independent country Preserve the traditional way of life

Southern Strategy 1. Defensive tactics with opportune offensive attacks 2. Make the North tired of fighting 3. Gain France and Britain as allies

THE CIVIL WAR WAS MORE THAN JUST A WAR BETWEEN STATES THE CIVIL WAR WAS MORE THAN JUST A WAR BETWEEN STATES. THE WAR OFTEN PITTED BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER, PARENTS AGAINST CHILDREN, AND NEIGHBOR AGAINST NEIGHBOR!

Faces of the War The average age of a soldier in the Civil War was 25. 55% of all troops were farmers. Most thought the war would be over within three months.
