CH 11 Section 1 Civil War Begins

In April of 1861, the Confederacy demanded that the Union surrender Fort Sumter, in Charleston Harbor. President Lincoln refused to abandon the fort. In March of 1861, the Confederacy attacked the fort and seized it. In response, Lincoln decided to go to war. The Civil War had begun.

Northerners and Confederates alike expected a short glorious war Northerners and Confederates alike expected a short glorious war. Both sides felt that right was on their side and were convinced that their opponents would go down easily to defeat.

Also, the North would have to conquer Southern territory to win. The North had more people, more factories, more food production, and better railroads. It also had a skilled leader—Lincoln. The South’s advantages included better generals and soldiers eager to defend their way of life. Also, the North would have to conquer Southern territory to win.

The Anaconda plan: The North had a three-part plan for victory The Anaconda plan: The North had a three-part plan for victory. (Winfield Scott) 1) to blockade Southern ports in order to keep out supplies; 2) to split the Confederacy in two at the Mississippi; 3) to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia.

Bull Run: The 1st major battle of the Civil War Bull Run: The 1st major battle of the Civil War. Battle won by the Confederates. “Stonewall” Thomas Jackson: Confederate general who earned his nickname because he stood as firm as a stone wall in battle (the Battle of Bull Run).

George McClellan: Union general in charge of all US forces.

New weapons changed warfare New weapons changed warfare. The ironclad ships Monitor and Merrimack made all wooden warships obsolete. New rifles made military trenches necessary in battle.

Union forces met Robert E. Lee’s army at Antietam, Maryland Union forces met Robert E. Lee’s army at Antietam, Maryland. It was the bloodiest clash of the war. This time, Lee was forced to retreat. Union troops did not chase Lee back into Virginia. If they had, they might have won the war then and there. Lincoln fired George McClellan in November 1862.
