Evaluate it (DID IT WORK?): Illustrate it: THE CONFEDERACY Illustrate it: 1. Name of the Strategy used by the Confederacy:________________________________ 2. Was it a Political or Military 3. Describe it: 4. Evaluate it (DID IT WORK?): Strategy? (CIRCLE ONE) 1. Name of the strategy used by the Union: The Union Blockade (Grand Strategy/The Anaconda Plan) 2. Was it a Political or Strategy? Military The Grand Strategy/The Anaconda Plan • It involved land invasions in three different regions of the Confederacy: – The Far Western Theatre, The Western Theatre, and the Eastern Theatre. The Grand Strategy/The Anaconda Plan • It also involved a naval blockade of 3,500+ miles of Confederate coastline and 12 major ports. – Here in GA? • Port of Savannah – closed off after the surrender of Fort Pulaski in April 1862. The Union Blockade – DESCRIBE IT! • The purpose of the Union Blockade was to prevent the passage of goods, supplies, and weapons to and from the Confederacy. • Began April 19, 1861 UNION BLOCKADE SHIP CONFEDERATE BLOCKADE RUNNER The Union Blockade – DESCRIBE IT! • Early in war, not enough Union ships (26), so the Union pours millions into building new blockade ships. • Ships that tried to evade the blockade, known as blockade runners (650), were privately-owned, newly built, high-speed ships with small cargo capacity. The Union Blockade • Those ship owners that were able to break the blockade line made a FORTUNE! – Est. $200 mil. worth of merchandise and supplies made it through the blockade by end of war The Union Blockade – Evaluate it • At first 5/6 attempts to slip through the blockade were successful; by 1864, only 1/2 were successful. • Confederate cotton exports were reduced by 95%. OUCH! THAT HURTS, YO! The Union Blockade • Blockade causes prices of goods to dramatically increase in the South and makes certain items impossible to get. • Bacon = $6.60 (2010= $116) • butter = $2.00 a pound (2010 = $35) • tea = $7.00 a pound (2010 = $123) • Hit the hardest? • Food, medicine, and weapons. • As the war goes on, replacement parts for manufacturing machinery and rails used to repair railroads. WAR STRATEGY: THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA (THE CONFEDERACY) PICTURE 1 PICTURE 2 PICTURE 3 King Cotton Diplomacy • The political strategy for winning the war in the South was known as King Cotton Diplomacy. Factories in France and England Cotton Supply p. 263 King Cotton Diplomacy 2. Was it a Political or Military Strategy? Factories in France and England Cotton Supply King Cotton Diplomacy – Describe it! • Southern leaders believed that British and French textile mills couldn’t function without the South’s cotton. • France and Great Britain would be forced to help the South break the blockade to get the cotton they needed. Factories in France and England Cotton Supply DoES THE CONFEDERACY get the help IT needS? King Cotton Diplomacy – Evaluate it! • Instead of England and France supporting the South in the war, they turn to cotton markets in India and Egypt. HA! HA! BUT WHY? WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SOUND RIGHT? 1.) Surplus of cotton in England = we don’t need your stinkin’ cotton! 2.) Not wanting to get involved in US affairs = maybe we won’t get pulled into war ourselves 3.) The outcome of the Battle of Antietam = The North laid out a mighty butt-whooping on the Confederacy AND announced the Emancipation Proclamation…its gotta’ be over for the Confederacy.
