How do you reach mastery for objective K? Page 126: Gettysburg Cornell

Vocabulary and VIPSSiege- an attempt to capture a place by

surrounding it with military forces and cutting it off until the people inside surrender

William Tecumseh Sherman-famous Union Army commander who took Atlanta

Total war-all out attacks aimed at destroying an enemy’s army, its resources, and its people’s will to fight.

2. The Tide Turns After the Union “victory” at

Antietam in 1862 the war again began to go poorly for the Union

As before, the issue was poor leadership

When McClellan failed to pursue Lee’s beaten army, Lincoln replaced him with General Ambrose Burnside

3. Confederate kicks Union tailBurnside knew why McClellan was fired…

he was too cautiousSo Burnside decided on a bold move…..in

December of 1862, he marched his army of 120,000 men directly toward Richmond

Conf. Robert E. Lee collected 75,000 men at Fredericksburg, Virginia to block them

Burnside pounded his troops against Lee, and the battle was costly for both sides.

It turned out to be a Confederate win, six weeks after the battle Burnside was removed as commander of the Army of the Potomac by Lincoln

Hey Sideburns,

you’re FIRED!

FAIL

4. Who’s next?!Lincoln next turned to Joseph Hooker,

nicknamed “Fighting Joe.”Hooker bragged as he marched the

Union army toward Richmond. In May 1863, Hooker’s army smashed

the Confederates at the Battle of Chancellorsville with DOUBLE a force

Another Confederate victory, but it cost them 13,460

Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson is mortally wounded in battle and dies later

Considered the greatest of Lee’s victories

“May God have

Mercy on Lee, for I will have NONE!”

FAIL

5. The Battle of GettysburgAll the Confederate victories made Lee bolderLee wanted to move North again, thinking a

victory on Union soil could end the warIn June of 1863, he marched his troops into

Maryland and then PennsylvaniaThe Union army (now commanded by Robert

Meade) pursued themJuly 1st, Confederate soldiers approached

GettysburgThey stumble upon part of Meade’s armyShots were exchanged and more joined in, by

evening the Confederates had pushed the Union forces back through Gettysburg

5. The Battle of Gettysburg July 2nd, more than 85k Union soldiers faced some

75k ConfederatesThe center of the Union army was on a hill called

Cemetery RidgeThe center of the Confed. army was a mile away

on Seminary RidgeFighting between the armies raged into the next

dayOn the afternoon of July 3rd, Lee ordered an all-

out attack on the center of the Union line. Gen. George Pickett (this is nuts!) would lead it with 15k soldiers

As they advanced, Union artillery rained down on them and only a few hundred reached Union lines

They were driven back, about 7,500 Confederates were killed in what is known as Pickett’s Charge

6. Results of GettysburgLee lost 28,000 in the three-day long

battleUnion lost more than 23,000Lee had lost nearly a 1/3 or his troops

for the second timeDeadliest American battleUnion Gen. Grant lays siege on

Vicksburg (last Conf. city on the Miss. R.) and drives them out after 6 weeks

Some abolitionists complained that the Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to all states. Based on the map, what do you think were Lincoln’s motives in limiting the reach of the Emancipation Proclamation?A He wanted to ensure the freedom of all slaves in the South.

B He wanted to hurt the southern war effort in those areas not under Union control.

C He hoped to make Louisiana half slave and half free.

D He wanted to give slaves a reason to escape and join the Union army.

EQ: What did Lincoln’s address

say?

Objective and Scales: Students will be able to evaluate the larger

meaning of the Gettysburg address and the underlying ideas as well as the conclusion of the war with 80% accuracy.

8. Gettysburg addressIn November of 1863, about

15k people gathered on the battlefield at Gettysburg to honor the soldiers who died there

In the Gettysburg address Lincoln looked ahead to a final Union victory

Given during the dedication of the cemetery for fallen Union soldiers

“…that we here highly resolve these dead shall

not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that

government of the people by the people for the

people, shall not perish from the earth.”

9. Closing in on the South In Ulysses S. Grant, Lincoln found the kind of

commander he had long sought (He got stuff done!)

In 1864, Grant was given command of the ENTIRE Union Army

Grant decided to attack Richmond (5th time) no matter how many soldiers it cost him

Grant’s huge army hammered at the Confederates in a series of battles in northern Virginia in the spring of 1864

Grant was unable to break through Lee’s troops, but Grant would NOT retreat…he instead continued to attack

**Historical Gossip: During the Civil War, on hearing complaints that Gen. Ulysses S. Grant drank alcohol to excess Lincoln responded

“Find out what Grant drinks and send a barrel of it to each of my other generals!”

9. Closing in on the SouthAfter 7 weeks of fighting, Grant lost

about 55k men, Confederates 35k. Grant had a steady supply of supplies

and troops, Lee DID NOT. Both armies clashed at Petersburg, an

important RR center south of Richmond

There Grant began another siege and at the same time William Tecumseh Sherman advanced toward Atlanta

Like Grant, Sherman was a tough soldier and believed in total war

“We are not only fighting hostile

armies, but hostile people, and must make young and old, rich and poor , feel the hard hand of war!”

10. March to the SeaThe South could not stop Sherman’s advanceUnion Army marched into Atlanta, GA on

September 2nd, 1864The capture of Atlanta gave Lincoln a boost for his

reelection in the election of 1864 (McClellan ran against him…ha!)

After Atlanta’s fall morale in the North was highLater in November, Sherman ordered Atlanta be

burned. He then marched up the Atlantic Ocean…along the

way engaging total war, setting fires, seizing crops and livestock, and pulling up Southern railroad tracks

He left a path of destruction up to 60 miles wide up the coast

11. The war’s endIn March of 1865, Grant’s army still waited outside

Petersburg…Lee knew it was only a matter of time before Grant captured the city

Lincoln too finally saw that the end was near, in his second inaugural address he asked americans to forgive and forget

On April 2nd, Grant’s troops finally broke through Conf. lines…by evening Richmond was in Union hands

Lee’s army retreated to the town of Appomattox Court House

There Lee surrendered on April 9th, 1865

11. The war’s endThe terms of the surrender said the Conf. had

to surrender their weapons and leave in peace

As Lee rode off, some Union troops started to celebrate and Grant silenced them….

He said, “The war is over…they rebels are our countrymen again.”

Overall 260,000 Confederate soldiers were killed and over 360,000 Union dead including 37,000 A.A

The war had two key results: It reunited the nation and put an end to slavery
