You need your spiral today. Question to be thinking about… Would you as a Texan have voted to secede from the Union in 1861? Why or Why not? Frontier Line of Defense Cotton/Supply Trading Route Railroad What do these group of people all have in common? • People who lived on the frontier. • People who lived close to the Red River. • Germans living in Texas Most likely NOT to vote for secession. Why? Remind me… What advantages did each side have? The North had • more soldiers • more money to finance the war • more factories to make war materials • more railroads • more men The South had • Better trained men • Better knowledge of the land Sabine Pass ~ stopped the Union soldiers from coming into Texas Laredo ~ took back control of the Rio Grande and re opened trade routes Galveston ~ state’s busiest seaport Palmito Ranch~ last battle of the Civil War Why? • Why did these battles take place in the southern and eastern borders of Texas? – The Union tried to stop the shipment of cotton and the flow of supplies for the Confederacy Changing Role of Women • During the Civil War, women’s roles changed: – Women did more farm work – Many women served as nurses for troops – They made uniforms and other clothing for soldiers – They took jobs as teachers, shopkeepers, and drivers, usually performed by men After four years of fighting… • General Lee surrendered to General Grant at the Appomattox Courthouse • Confederate President Davis was captured and the remaining armies in the South surrendered. Last land battle • Texan troops had not heard that General Lee surrendered • Confederate forces defeated a Union force trying to invade Texas near Brownsville at Palmito Ranch • They learned from their Union captured prisoners that General lee had surrendered Union Victory • The Union had been preserved • End to slavery • Five days after General Lee surrendered, Lincoln is assassinated The South has Surrendered • The Texas government collapsed as officials fled to Mexico to escape Union troops • President Andrew Johnson appointed Andrew Hamilton as provisional governor in June, 1865
