Visual Summary
How Is Modern Warfare
Different?
The Civil War was in many respects

fielded large armies equipped with
mass-produced weapons.
Railroads and the telegraph
ensured rapid communications and
troop movements. Hundreds of
thousands of soldiers were killed.

Choosing Sides
The Union had economic advantages at
the start of the Civil War, but was
politically divided; if the Confederacy
could gain European support and wear
down the North, it had a chance at
victory.
Choosing Sides (cont.)
• Robert E. Lee—one of the most respected
senior officers in the U.S. Army—received an
offer from General Winfield Scott to
command the Union’s troops.
• Although Lee had spoken against secession,
he resigned from the army and offered his
services to the Confederacy.
• Although the South had many experienced
officers to lead its troops in battle, the North
had several economic advantages.
Choosing Sides (cont.)
• Some of the North’s advantages included
the following:
− larger population
− control of a navy
− almost 90% of the nation’s factories
− more miles of railroad track
− control of the national treasury
Resources of the Union and of the Confederacy
Choosing Sides (cont.)
− continued revenue from tariffs
− large reserves of cash in banks
• Congress passed the Legal Tender Act in
February 1862, which created a national
currency and allowed the government to
issue paper money, or greenbacks.
Resources of the Union and of the Confederacy
Choosing Sides (cont.)
• As the Civil War began, President Lincoln
had to contend with divisions within his own
party.
• The Democrats also split into different
factions—the War Democrats and the Peace
Democrats (also called Copperheads).
• One major disagreement between
Republicans and Democrats concerned the
use of conscription.
Choosing Sides (cont.)
• To enforce the militia law, Lincoln suspended
writs of habeas corpus.
• Although the South had no organized
opposition party, President Jefferson Davis
still faced many problems.
− The Confederate constitution limited his
ability to conduct the war.
Choosing Sides (cont.)
• The outbreak of the Civil War put the major
governments of Europe in a difficult position.
• The British and French met informally with
the Confederate representatives in May
1861.
• In late 1861, the Confederacy sent James
Mason to Britain and John Slidell to
France.
Choosing Sides (cont.)
• A Union warship intercepted a British ship
and took Mason and Slidell prisoner—later
known as the Trent Affair.
• They were released after a few tense weeks
and continued on their mission to seek
Confederate allies in Europe.
President Lincoln suspended the writ of
habeas corpus for which people?

The First Modern War
Unlike previous wars, the Civil War was
fought with huge, mostly volunteer
armies equipped with new
technologies.
The First Modern War (cont.)
• By the 1850s, French and American
inventors had developed a new, inexpensive
conoidal (cone-shaped) bullet for rifles.
− Conoidal bullets were accurate at greater
ranges.
− So troops would be fired on several more
times while charging enemy lines.
The First Modern War (cont.)
• The Civil War marked the first time that
troops defending their positions protected
themselves with trenches and barriers
instead of standing upright in a line.
• Attrition played a critical role as the war
dragged on.
• The Southern disdain for remaining on the
defensive meant that when battles occurred,
Southern troops often went on the offensive,
charging enemy lines and suffering very high
causalities.
The First Modern War (cont.)
• Early in the war, the general in chief of the
United States, Winfield Scott, proposed a
strategy for defeating the South—referred to
as the Anaconda Plan.
• Lincoln agreed to implement Scott’s plan, and
imposed a blockade on Southern ports, hoping
for a quick victory.
• Ultimately, he and other Union leaders realized
that only a long war that focused on destroying
the South’s armies had any chance of success.
Early in the war, which kind of
struggle did Jefferson Davis
imagine?

Mobilizing the Troops
To fight the war successfully, it became
clear to leaders on both sides that they
would need conscription to ensure the
necessary number of troops.
Mobilizing the Troops (cont.)
• In the first months of the Civil War, President
Lincoln was under great pressure to strike
quickly against the South.
• However, during a fight along the Bull Run
River near Manassas Junction, “Stonewall”
Jackson proved that this war would not be a
short one.
Mobilizing the Troops (cont.)
• Fewer young men volunteered as the war
dragged on, and both governments had to
resort to conscription.
• The North tried to encourage voluntary
enlistment by offering a bounty to
individuals who promised to serve three
years in the military.
• Congress finally introduced a draft in 1863 to
raise necessary troops.

The Naval War
Although the Union had experienced
setbacks on land, its naval forces
successfully blockaded Southern ports
and took control of the mouth of the
Mississippi River.
The Naval War (cont.)
• In April 1861, President Lincoln proclaimed a
blockade of all Confederate ports.
• Although the Union blockade became
increasingly effective as the war dragged on,
Union vessels were thinly spread and found
it difficult to stop all of the blockade
runners.
• At the same time, Confederate ships
operating out of foreign ports attacked
Northern merchant ships at sea.
The Naval War (cont.)
• In February 1862, David G. Farragut took
command of a Union force of 42 warships
and 15,000 soldiers led by General Benjamin
Butler.
− On April 25, 1862, Farragut arrived in New
Orleans.
− Six days later, General Butler’s troops took
control of the South’s largest city, and a
center of cotton trade.

The War in the West
After the Union victory at Shiloh, the
Union took control of eastern
Tennessee.
The War in the West (cont.)
• In February 1862, as Farragut prepared for
his attack on New Orleans, Union general
Ulysses S. Grant gained control of all of
Kentucky and most of western Tennessee.
• Next, Grant led his troops up the Tennessee
River to attack Corinth, Mississippi.
• Confederate forces launched a surprise attack
on Grant’s troops early on April 6, 1862 at
Shiloh, but Grant forced the
Confederates to retreat.
The War in the West, 1862–1863
The War in the West (cont.)
• Lincoln ordered General Don Carlos Buell to
seize Chattanooga and cut the railroad lines
that passed through the city.
• Frustrated at Buell’s slow advance, Lincoln
put General William Rosecrans in command.
More troops were killed or wounded
during the Battle of Shiloh than in any
other battle up to that point.

The War in the East
After the Union defeated Lee at
Antietam, Britain decided to stay out of
the conflict and Lincoln issued a
proclamation to end slavery.
The War in the East (cont.)
• After General McDowell’s failure at the First
Battle of Bull Run, President Lincoln ordered
General George B. McClellan to lead the
Union army in the east.
• Although popular with the troops, McClellan
proved overly cautious and unwilling to
attack unless he had overwhelming strength.
The War in the East, 1862–1863
The War in the East (cont.)
• In late June 1862, Lee began a series of
attacks on McClellan’s army that became
known as the Seven Days’ Battle.
• Lee could not defeat the Union army but did
inflict heavy casualties and force McClellan
to retreat to the James River.
• Lincoln ordered McClellan to bring his troops
back to Washington; Lee decided to attack
the retreating forces, forcing them to
retreat once again.
The War in the East, 1862–1863
The War in the East (cont.)
• Confederate forces stood only 20 miles
away from Washington.
• Lee decided to invade Maryland for several
reasons:
− An invasion might convince the North to
accept the South’s independence.
− A victory on northern soil might help the
South win recognition from the
British.
The War in the East, 1862–1863
The War in the East (cont.)
− A victory might also help the Peace
Democrats gain control of Congress in the
upcoming elections.
− Lee could also feed his troops from
Northern farms and draw Union troops out
of Virginia during harvest season.
The War in the East, 1862–1863
The War in the East (cont.)
• The Battle of Antietam was a crucial victory
for the Union for several reasons:
− Lee’s defeat made the British decide once
again to wait and see how the war
progressed before choosing sides.
− The South lost its best chance at gaining
international recognition and support.
− Lincoln issued the Emancipation
Proclamation.
The War in the East, 1862–1863
The War in the East (cont.)
• As Lee’s forces marched toward Antietam,
Lincoln said that if the Union could drive
those forces from Northern soil, he would
issue a proclamation ending slavery.
− On September 22, 1862, Lincoln publicly
announced that he would issue the
Emancipation Proclamation.
− The Proclamation freed enslaved African
Americans in states at war with the Union,
but not the border states.

The Wartime Economies
While the South suffered inflation and
food shortages, the North prospered
during the war.
The Wartime Economies (cont.)
• The collapse of the South’s transportation
system, the blockade of Southern ports, and
the presence of Union troops in several
important agricultural regions led to severe
food shortages during the winter of 1862–1863.
The Wartime Economies (cont.)
• The North experienced an economic boom
because of the war for several reasons:
− Growing industries supplied the troops
with uniforms, munitions, and other
necessities.
− The expanded use of mechanized reapers
and mowers made farming possible with
fewer workers, many of whom were
women.
The Wartime Economies (cont.)
− Women filled labor shortages in various
industries.
• New sewing machines greatly increased the
productivity of seamstresses.
