Civil war??
I am doing a report on the civil war and I need to know everything! What were the two parties about which side are you and why, and tell me everything i need to know or give me a website
1. Certainly, the aim initial war was not about slavery. But anyone who tries to argue that slavery was endangered or that slavery has not been a very important factor in the conduct of the war engaged in revisionist history: - the argument of states rights (Which is a huge issue for many focus seccesionists) was partly about slavery, the argument that future states added U.S. states should be slave or should not be banned from holding slaves. - See "Bleeding Kansas". Just before the Civil War began, the bloodshed between the Bushwackers and Jayhawkers was entirely about slavery. - Yes, slavery was abolished in Europe. But the number of slaves (the total population) has increased each year in the South from 1845 to 1860. Slavery is growing, not not die immediately. And the richest people in the south and the prime industries (cotton and tobacco) were dependent on slavery at the time. 2. Wow, the claim that the South had the best soldiers, the best shots, inflicting much loss, the best and worst overall camp was in the North ... Again, it is a little higher. - The South has lost or drew every major battle in the Western Theater in the four years of war, except for Chickamauga. It is a stunning record of military incompetence. Throughout the war in more than 300 military engagements result, the North won 2/3rds of them. Make a list of great Southern Army and corps commanders and you come with Cleburne, Lee and Jackson (perhaps Longstreet - although was unimpressive in the West). Make an impressive list of commanders of the Union Army and you should have: Grant, Thomas, Sheridan, Sherman, Meade, Hancock, Sedgwick, and Reynolds (peers who knew them both considered John Reynolds Lee equality). Look at it this way, South could not replace Jackson, Cleburne, Jeb Stuart Turner Ashby or when they died, but the North had no problem replacing Sedgwick, Reynolds, Richardson vouchers or other senior officers. Because they had officers much more good than the Confederation did. As for the wounded, the dead from the battlefield Union was about 110,070. Confederate battlefield deaths amounted to about 94,000. This is not much difference in the total count. As for your assertion that Southerners were better pictures, the reality is that the Union (Because of the industry) are more rifled guns (with too many boys in the South depends on their guns, they smooth own brought from home). murder of a specified range muzzleloader smooth would be approximately 100 meters (48 of 50 shots in a test at the time) but at 200 meters only 24 to 50 and 300 meters only 7 of 50 shots. Using a shotgun rifled in the same range with marksmen same results were .... 50 of 50 to 100 yards, 41 of 50 to 200 meters (twice the precision of the mouth), 29 50 to 300 yards (4x the accuracy of a load by mouth) and 7 from 50 to 500 meters (smoothbore made no attempt to shoot at 400 or 500 meters). Well, the EU (because of the industry and a better supply) have a rifled gun and were much more accurate and longer distances too. 3. Camp Douglas vs. Andersonville. Yes, both were terrible prisons and reports on both sides during the war was terrible. Camp Directors to both sides was inexcusable and criminal. More than 6,000 dead Confederates at Camp Douglas. 26,000 were there (80 acres), but at one point was 12,000. More than 13,000 Union prisoners died at Andersonville with as much of 32,000 crammed into the camp at the same time (26 acres). In Moreover, while both sides have done terrible things, the execution of prisoners Confederal (because they were black) inside the crater and Ft. Sill is also troublesome, especially for those who want to argue that the only reason slavery was up in due to manipulation by Lincoln. 4. A quick summary of the war: - The Southern states seceded. Forces fired on Union troops at Fort. Sumter in Charleston SC harbor. Newly elected U.S. President Lincoln said he would crush the rebellion and the strength of states South back into the Union. - In the East, the initial conflicts were mixed with the South close to losing the first Manassas (until troops arrived by train and turn the day into a rout). Other early battles led to Confederate losses until Joe Johnston was replaced by EC Smith, who was later replaced by Robert E. Lee. This led to a series of successes of the Confederates defensive in the East. In the West, the Confederacy was not at all strategic efforts. The Union engaged in a strategy blockade of the South (if they could not trade) and succeeded in this. They also adopted a strategy of cutting the South in half (by entering the Mississippi River) - A strategy that would be successful and misfortune of the Confederacy. The ineptitude of the Confederate Navy and their inability to defend the cost of Southern Mississippi in the war. Whenever the Confederates tried to go on the offense, they have failed, or tactical, strategic, or both. Shiloh has led to massive losses, a strategic failure and retirement. Stones River led to the loss of vital agricultural support in two states. Antietam failed to get a new recruit in Maryland and virtually destroyed Lee's top two units: the Stonewall Brigade and the First Brigade of Texas. After Gettysburg South was unable to offensive war longer. Consider this: in the West, the major offensives in the South have been at the river Shiloh and Stone and two losses and led to withdrawals with a loss of territory criticism while failing to accomplish the initial objectives. In the East, two Lee offensives were Antietam and Gettysburg. Both failed to achieve their goals and paralyzed both his army in terms of victims (labor and general). In the West, the Union was dominating, nearly running the table against the Confederacy. Vicksburg was probably the most important battle of the Civil War - once Vicksburg fell, the Union controlled the Mississippi, which means that moving troops and supplies was almost impossible for the South. In the East, such as when General Hancock and Meade won more responsibilities, South started having problems. When Grant was moved to the east, Lee was forced to fight in this just to save time - Negotiating life for another few weeks or a month - the end was almost never in doubt at this point. Grant Lee began to seek and destroy his army. In a series of commitments to the east, Grant kept trying to ring Lee or beat him at a crucial juncture in order to obtain Richmond. Lee was forced to play a reactive role and in a totally defensive. In the West, Sherman led his army to across the South, in Georgia, then cut to the East Coast and North led by the Carolinas, anhialiating all the forces he faced. Grant continued to extend its lines, knowing that Lee did not labor it provides. Finally, Lee conceeded Richmond (so that the South Investment fell to the north) and tried to get away from Grant, but failed, visiting forces with Appomattax Court House, Virginia, ending civil war (ongoing fighting but it was inconsequential in terms of impact or the number of victims). With hindsight, it is surprising that the Confederation never thought they had a chance. They failed to win a single battle during the naval war. The Union has always more and better artillery that was better organized (and this played a decisive role at the 3rd day of Gettysburg, Shiloh and Stones River - probably decide all battles 3). They inherited the most outstanding officers of the regular army. They had more industry, more people, more agriculture (South produces more cotton and tobacco, but the North produces more fruit, corn, wheat, cattle and horses), infrastructure (if supplies have always been a problem). More after 2 years of fighting, the Union suddenly added 200,000 new and highly motivated soldiers (the U.S. infantry in color). At the end of the war, all major cities of the Confederation and industrial center had fallen. Each competent or outstanding senior Confederate Another agent that Lee had been killed or wounded. As the historian (and Mississippi native) Shelby Foote, liked to say, the North fought the war with one hand behind his back.
