CIVIL WAR Today’s LEQ: Was the outcome of the Civil War inevitable? Let’s Review During the Antebellum period, there were many events leading up to the Civil War. Some would argue war was inevitable. But, was it inevitable that the North would win? Outbreak of the Civil War At the time of the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861, seven states had seceded from the Union. States in the upper South faced a difficult decision – to secede or not. Border States – between the North and South became very important to the North DE, MD, WV, KY, & MO Regional Differences The country, now formally divided between the Union and the Confederacy, braced for war. Both the North and South had strengths and weaknesses resulting from their regional differences Regional Differences Union Strengths More railroads More factories Most weapons produced in the North Better economy Larger Population Functioning government and standing army Plenty of food – more grain production & livestock Confederate Strengths More trained officers Most military schools located in the South Defensive Position No reason to invade the North Knew the terrain Fighting to preserve their way of life Regional Differences Union Weaknesses Fighting an offensive war Didn’t know the terrain Going against some of the best officers in the U.S. army Confederate Weaknesses Less population, railroads, and wealth Agrarian society Less weapons manufacturing Food shortages focused on cash crops like cotton instead of food crops
