Name CHAPTER 4, LESSON 1 Date Summary: The States at War North Against South Eleven southern states left the Union and formed the Confederacy. Four border states stayed in the Union. The North wanted to keep the Union together. They planned to stop the Confederacy from trading with other nations. They would attack the South from the East and West at the same time. The North had more people, factories, and railroads. The South planned to fight off northern attacks until the Confederacy could survive as a nation. The South had good military leaders. They hoped France and Britain would help because these countries needed southern cotton. Most of the war was in the South, so Confederate soldiers knew the land. Both sides thought they could win quickly. In July 1861, at the Battle of Bull Run they learned the war might last a long time. Find and underline each vocabulary word.
