What did a person like Le Drill 10/30 Identify the following – – – – McClellan Sherman Jackson Lee Objective: SWBAT Identify key battles of the Civil War Analyze the key turning point in the war The dawn of War Lincoln and the Federal Government is still hoping to end this with as little bloodshed as possible The Naval Blockade of the South – – “The Anaconda Plan” Limit the supplies, making them unable to fight The Union struggles in the east Confederate – Army of Northern Virginia (AoNV) – Lee Union – Army of the Potomac (AotP) – – – – McClellan Maj.

George Meade The Union Struggles in the East The Union went through so many generals because none could defeat Lee Lee secured key victories proving he was a superior general even with inferior forces Emboldened by these victories Lee would strike the Union Battle of Antietam (9/17/1862) Near Sharpsburg, MD AotP – 87,000 troops AoNV – 45,000 troops Single bloodiest day in American military history – – Over 23,000 casualties 7:30 am – 4:30 pm Antietam The first battle on Northern soil McClellan is able to withstand Lee’s army and send them back into Virginia McClellan refused to pursue them – – Lee’s army remained unbroken Lincoln fires McClellan for his failure Classwork – Let’s try this mapping thing again I know, you already saw this map – bear with me Today and tomorrow we will be using this map to track battles Today you are going to focus on the Eastern Theater Classwork- Eastern Theater battles Using your books (pg 176 - ) On the map locate the battle and identify the result and date(s) of the following battles Identify – – – – – First Bull Run Chancellorsville Fredricksburg Seven Day’s Battle Antietam On the back answer these questions: – Why did the failure at Antietam cause Lincoln to fire McClellan? Did Lincoln’s initial desire for a lack of bloodshed play into McClellan’s actions? Drill 10/30 Why did Lincoln end up firing McClellan? – McClellan was reluctant to directly engage Robert E Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, angering Lincoln. Objective: SWBAT Identify key union victories in the West Analyze the effects of Sherman’s “March to the Sea” on the current and post-war Southern Economy. The Western Theater For all the trouble that the Union was having in the East they were succeeding in the West Other Confederate generals (such as Braxton Bragg) made multiple tactical errors Grant made Bragg pay for these mistakes Grant’s Western campaign Beginning with a narrow victory at Shiloh (TN) – Another 100,000 casualties A series of crushing victories for the Union Grant’s forces drove down the Western half of the Confederacy – The goal was to cut the confederacy in half and sieze the largest city and port, New Orleans Grants success Grant’s campaign began in February, 1862 in TN By June of 1862 Grant’s army had control of New Orleans – – Effectively cutting off the Confederacy’s largest port The confederacy would be increasingly cut-off from necessary trade and supplies as the war dragged on CW today – complete the maps we were working on yesterday Finish outlining the Eastern Front battles from yesterday Also, look on the board for the list of battles in the Western Front and the additional questions on the back Also, get out the Guided Reading 4.2 That will be collected at the end of the day Classwork- Eastern Theater battles Using your books (pg 176 - ) On the map locate the battle and identify the result and date(s) of the following battles Identify – – – – – First Bull Run Chancellorsville Fredricksburg Seven Day’s Battle Antietam On the back answer these questions: – Why did the failure at Antietam cause Lincoln to fire McClellan?
