Connections to the Civil War
The Last Moments of John Brown (1884) by Thomas Hovenden
Harper’s Ferry (1859) – raided arsenal to capture weapons and inspire slaves to rebel against slavery.
Lincoln’s Election and Southern Secession
Main Idea: The election of Lincoln led the Southern states to secede from the Union.
Why it Matters: This was the only time in U.S. history that states seceded from the Union.
•In the election of 1860 the Democrats split their vote between 2 candidates
•Douglas (popular sovereignty) Breckinridge (States Rights)
•Others joined a new party “Constitutional Union”
•John Bell (preserve the Union)
•Lincoln was the Republican candidate.( Stop Slavery)
Lincoln 40%Douglass 30%Breckinridge 18%Bell 12%Lincoln wins the election, but only receives 40% of the popular vote….and not 1 electoral vote from the South.
Outraged…the south threatens to secede.
Dec 20, 1860 South Carolina Secedes. Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas soon follow
South Carolina seceded on Dec 20, 1860……Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas also left.
These states formed the Confederate States of America and named Jefferson Davis as President
“We ask only to be left alone”

Advantages & Resources: The North
• A very strong navy and almost all the shipyards were in the North.
• More factories (about 85% of all factories)
• Larger population (22 million to the South’s 9 million)
Advantages & Resources: The North
• Booming Economy• Railroads!!!! Better organized and much
more mileage of track.• LEADERSHIP OF PRESIDENT
LINCOLN!!!– He was able to convince Northerners that
democracy depended on preserving the Union.
Advantages & Resources:The South
Knew the land (home-field advantage)
• Were trying to preserve their way of life (had the HEART… this war meant everything to them)
• Much better military commanders– Many were trained at military colleges
like West Point– Had fought Mexico in the Mexican-
American War so they were experienced.
Advantages & Resources:The South
• Was able to fight a defensive war, requiring the Union to stretch their resources to the limit in order to reach the Rebels.
• They weren’t trying to concur the North, they just wanted to be independent.
What do you think?- Discuss with an elbow partner. Be prepared to share with the class.
• How might the use of the telegraph affect the outcome of a war?
• Why do you think the military chose to use hot air balloons? Was this choice beneficial? Why?
• How did changes in weapons and technology affect the way war was fought?
New inventions used during the war
• .Telegraph– While the telegraph had been around for a little while this was
the first time it had been used by the military.
• .Hot Air Balloons– These were used to spy on troop movements and locations
during the war.
• Ironclads– Warships covered with iron– Were a big improvement over wooden ships of the past
• New rifle technology allowed people to shoot further with more accuracy
• Railroads!!!! They weren’t new but they played a big role in the war.
Strategies of the North
The Anaconda Plan: Designed to smother the South’s economy
– Blockade of the South’s coastline (use of the Navy) so no goods or people could get in or out.
– Take control of the Mississippi River and split the Confederacy in two
– This plan’s drawback was that it would take time
– It worked!
Strategies of the NorthEmancipation Proclamation
– Issued by President Lincoln on September 22, 1862 – Emancipation Proclamation declared that all slaves in
states currently in rebellion after January 1, 1863 were free– It DID NOT free slaves in the Border States (only ones in
Confederate States)
Strategies of the North Cont.• C.Sherman’s March to
the Sea (total war)
– General William Sherman and his men marched from Tennessee, living off of the land, to the Atlantic Coast of Georgia.
– The soldiers destroyed EVERYTHING in their path (enemy soldiers, entire towns, crops, livestock, railroads….everything!)
Strategies of the SouthDefensive position only
– They hoped that the North would soon get tired of fighting and agree to leave them alone.
King Cotton– Planned on using their cotton production as leverage in
the war.– The world needed cotton made in the South so they
thought by withholding cotton to the rest of the world they might get other nations to help them
– This failed because other nations had A LOT of cotton from the year before so they didn’t need more.
Strategies of the South Cont.
Morale Wreckers
•Once the South’s other plans didn’t work they tried to go on the offensive and hurt the North by wrecking their morale (then maybe they would get tired of fighting)
