Civil War Media Key terms/ideas/ people/places: Wild Bill Hickok Espionage Newspapers By the end of class today, I will be able to answer the following: What Confederate General relied on Newspapers when making his plans? Why espionage so easy in the Civil War? How has the media coverage of war changed from the Civil War until today? Notes Class 152— Civil War Espionage April 28, 2014 Spying in the Civil War, with both sides speaking the same language and knowing each other so intimately, was a relatively simple matter. Furthermore, the battle lines were so extended in all theaters of the war that they could be penetrated with ease. Example: Wild Bill Hickok-supported the Union o Spied in Missouri, Arkansas, and Kansas o spent much of his time behind enemy lines disguised as a hillbilly o Even would disguise himself in Confederate uniforms to gain information Newspapers: newspapers of the time didn’t have much tact and often printed of troop movements and plans of attack A shrewd general, in fact, had little need for an intelligence service, provided he had a steady supply of newspapers published in enemy territory o Preparing for the Battle of Chickamauga in Tennessee, Confederate General Braxton Bragg received a New York Times clipping which explained precisely how the Unionists would fool him into a shift of position. Bragg stayed put. o Near Vicksburg a Northern spy brought his superior a newspaper story in which a correspondent described in full the Federal plans for a "secret canal" behind the Mississippi. The project had to be dropped. Robert E. Lee used secret agents to supply him with every available Northern newspaper. The Virginian studied them by the hour, noting, comparing, questioning. A Southern spy with a copy of the Philadelphia Inquirer provided information of a withdrawal by McClellan; as a result, Lee shifted thousands of troops. The Southerner's military shrewdness kept him from accepting false stories planted for his benefit, and Lee himself once inserted a fake in Confederate papers. ____________________________________ 7th Grade Social Studies Mexico & U.S. History from the Revolution to Reconstruction Class 153— Bloody Bill Anderson April 29, 2014 Focus: Answer this question in at least six (6) good sentences: Why do you think Americans felt the need to massacre their fellow Americans?

What happened to Jackson’s arm? Where was Jackson shot? John D. Berry Notes Class 155— Death of Stonewall Jackson May 1, 2014 Jackson’s views/beliefs/actions: Jackson liked war-“delightful excitement” he attained in combat ordered the bravest shot down-weaken all of those whose discipline draws on that bravery courage was equated only with success, and command error would be ruthlessly defined as a defect in courage His cool courage, spare personal style, and battlefield victories exerted a mesmeric hold on his men “He places no value on human life, caring for nothing so much as fighting, unless it be praying.” “For many on both sides, Stonewall Jackson was the war’s highest exemplification of courage.” Chancellorsville: It is fitting that Jackson did die in the war. He once stated, “Each of us has his duty to perform, without regard to consequences; we must perform it and trust in providence.” Jackson was riding through dense vegetation Encountered intense small arms fire from the Confederate 18th North Carolina regiment under the command of Major John D. Barry who gave the order to fire Jackson was struck once in the right hand and twice in the left arm and was almost unhorsed Taken to Dr. Hunter McGuire, considered the South’s leading Surgeon Jackson given standard first aid: arterial compression, whiskey, and morphine Left humorous (upper arm bone) and brachial artery were damaged and required amputation two inches below the soldier. Jackson was given chloroform Just before his death in a stat of delirium Jackson says “Order A.P. Hill to prepare for action! Pass the infantry to the front rapidly! Tel. Major Hawks….” Jackson stops and a smile comes across his face and he says in an expression of relief “Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees.” The Union soldiers at Chancellorsville hear the following statement, “In view of the fact that [Stonewall Jackson] was wounded by our division and also as a mark of respect to a gallant Christian soldier the division will receive the announcement [of his death] with uncovered heads.” Major John D. Barry, the man that gave the order to fire on Jackson, died two years after the war at the age of 27. His family said that he died of depression and guilt from giving the order to fire on Jackson. ____________________________________ 7th Grade Social Studies Mexico & U.S. History from the Revolution to Reconstruction Class 156— Gettysburg Days 1 &2 May 2, 2014 Focus: If the South’s strategy for victory was to fight a defensive war, why do you think General Lee had his army so far north into Pennsylvania? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Student Objectives: 1.
