civil+war

I see it means

-i see two men they look like soldiers feeding each other a cigar - I think it means a compromise like you feed me and ill feed you

-like you help me and ill help you. They are two brothers in fact twins they join different side of the war,one of them fought for the union

and the other fought for the federate. My thought is how do they feel fighting each other when they are so close how would they feel if one of them had to kill another that just ruins the family and it shows that the war has a big impact of people if destroys family.

In my opinion I would deny the request resign and stay neutral because i would not want to dirty my hands especialy if it ever comes down to taking someone's life.

Robert E Lee joined the war because it came down that they are not fighting to end slavery but they are fighting for their own lives

6-6-11 Civil War Themes ‍The Following are some big ideas you will need to examine as we study the Civil War ‍1) Morality (conscience) vs. Financial Stability. during the war people were not so conscious most people were pretty selfish, I can say how America went through so many war to improve the country's economy because it was the only way out.

‍2) Defend a home state or a home country? Either way you're losing part of your home. If I had no choice I think I would defend a home or a country because i learned during the civil war EVERYONE was part of the war, if you were not you would be a traitor, and also being in or out of the war you had a 50% chance of dying which I think is pretty unfair because you can not force someone to do something they don't want to, that should be against the law.

‍3) Morality vs. Military Strategy. like the battle of Atlanta I think burning a part of Georgia was a very cruel thing to do but these soldiers had no choice they had to do what they were asked to do, although i think some of them did not really want to kill but that was their job to take down the rebels.

‍4) Fellow Americans or Traitors ... or both? Americans were viewed as people that went by whatever the government said, and actually involved in the war, and traitors were often viewed as rebels, the ones that did not follow what the government said, the ones that did not participate in the war.

Apart chart:South Carolina Author: The speaker of South Carolina Place:South Carolina Prior Knowledge:South Carolina was part of the United States, and was also involved in the war. evidence: was involved in the civil war significance:South Carolina wanted to be away from the union Main Idea: South Carolina which was part of the Unites States and also the confederates wanted to be away from the union they wanted to win the war.

Apart Chart:Florida Author: speaker of Florida Place:Florida Prior knowledge: Florida was part of the confederates Evidence: Florida is in the south therefore it was part of the confederates, because the confederates were in the south Significance:Florida wanted to withdraw from the confederates Main idea:Florida which was part of the confederacy and participated in the war because they decided to be neutral from the war.

Reflection: The reasoning of Florida acts made sense to me because I think it is logical that it decided to be neutral from war because of its own reason, but I do not understand the fact that all of a sudden North Carolina wanted to dissolve the union in the confederacy I would only sign the Florida act,because I would love to be neutral from the war. I would not sign the South Carolina act because it just seemed a little suspicious.

Strategies for war
 * The North used blockade for the war.i think using the blockade was very effective because the enemy would not be involve in what they are doing


 * The union also used the anaconda plan. Was a smart idea but was not effective enough the confederates could still have a way to get through them
 * The confederates also used a blockade . was effective
 * The confederates also used the cotton diplomacy plan/ which was to block all cotton being traded with the union. I think it was an effective way because they could take away all the cotton that way the north would not be able to transport and if they are not able to transport then they would run out of money to buy military supplies and food, therefore they would not be able to participate in the war then that would lead to the result of the south winning.

Technology and war
 * New technologies were used to defend oneself from the enemy these technologies were
 * camouflage tents
 * gattling guns
 * hot air ballons
 * iron clads
 * riffle musket
 * It made it easier for them to fight the war
 * Can new, better technology take the place of experienced quality soldiers? Why or why not?
 * yes new technology can take the place of a soldier with better experience because it would take up their time to learn how do use themand it would decrease their skill of fighting with hand

> > 1)the union used a blockade and the confederates also used a blockade and they were trying to bring the union down, I think the union's were more efective because they had more soldiers.The union plans was an anaconda plan, the confederates plan used the cotton diplomacy/ cotton diplomacy > > task two > > during the civill war new technologies were important becaue > > it helped each sides to defend themselves > > they used camouflage tents > > gatling guns/machine guns 200 rounds per minute > > they used ballons-hot air ballons > > they uses iron clads/new bullets > > riffles musket > > and cannons were used and whoever gets nearby would get hit i opposed with that because innocent people would get hurt > > task three > > I think the confederates because the confederates had so many casualties > > so many people died in the civil war due to new technology and how each opponents were smart enough to use them. And the fact they fought in line made it easier for enemy to kill the opponent and also the fact that they used machine guns and also the confederates had two advantages > > 2)they were not trying to defense lands they were just trying to survive > > 3) competent officers/ effective officers, the south had more competent officers because they created more army officers in the north because most armies are from the south

[] Do Now 6-8-11 How and why did the confederacy strategy for fighting the civil war change in 1863? it changed because they were loosing supplies like shoes and general Lee had to invade the north to get shoes battle of gettysburg was the bloodiest battle in U.S history it was also the turning point of the civil war

Three days of carnage at Gettysburg:

**1.** Which army had the advantage after the first day of fighting? What were some reasons for their success? Could they have been even more successful? The confederates. The reason they brought victory was because they attack the union without warning them at first They couldve have been more successful if they had more soldiers. 2) what was the situation by the evening of july 2?

General Richard Ewell launched his attack

3)what evidence from the previous day's fighting brought General Lee to decide on the strategy for Picket's charge on July 3? what was the result of that assault? Union army forced out the Confederates who had successfully taken Culp's Hill. The attack was preceded by a two hour artillery bombardment of Cemetery Hill and Ridge. 4)Why did General Lee decide to withdraw from Gettysburg?because there were too many casualties and they could not move on

1)What part did Elisha Hunt Rhodes play at Gettysburg?he was a private and an infantry volunteer 2)How was he able to justify the suffering endured by the Union troops?He was putting all his efforts in the war he said to himself "its all for the union". 3)How did he respond to the Union victory? //**Part B: The Call to Duty**// **1.** How did Edward Porter Alexander feel about Georgia's secession?He thank god for the fact that they won the war and Porter Alexander felt like it was a chance for him to resign from the us army 4)what option did the U.S. Army provide Alexander to avoid becoming involved in the conflict?
 * Perspectives of Participants in the Battle **

he was responsible for mounting the large bombardment 5)How did he justify his choice? //**Part C: Changes in Loyalty**// **1.** Consider Andrew Baker's vivid descriptions of the valiant behavior exhibited in the chaos of battle. Describe the actions of Captain W. T. Magruder. Speculate on his motivations for fighting in both armies before his death at Gettysburg.Andrew Baker was a soldier during the war, he participated in the brutal fighting and the war was chaotic and blood W.T used the fact that the soldiers have families home and they want to protect them just to get them to be motivated. 6)Why did Captain John Moore not give the order to charge? How might you have felt in his place? //**All Parts**// **1.** How does reading these personal accounts compare with reading summaries of Civil War battles in textbooks? Do they make you more aware of the personal suffering of the participants?John Moore did not give charge because of what he saw, like so many casualties he felt like he could not take it anymore , if I were in his shoes I think I would have had the same reactions, reading these articles is more explainable it shows how soldiers are not only cold hear-ted, and angry people who goes off to war to fight but also has feeling and who don't have a choice but to defend their country and to protect their love ones 7)What are some disadvantages of relying on personal accounts of historical events? each sources have their own different informations so the informations you get are not really accurate

1)How long after the battle did Lincoln give his address?Two years after the battle 2)What did he say about the men who were buried in the cemetery?how the remainder of soldiers have to finish the works they did not finish in order to honor them 3)How did he give meaning to their sacrifice?to finish up the war 4)What was it that Lincoln wanted the people of the United States to do for the dead soldiers?he did not want them to die in vain he wanted the others that were living to finish the war in honor of those who died. || 5-9-11 the emancipation proclamation was a strategic move on the part of Abraham Linclon because that is what he came up with to end slavery but it did not have an effect because they still had to fight to get their freedom.it was so britian wouldnt get the south The emancipation proclamation freed slaves in rebelling states. all slaves were not frees because border states did not rebel the border states were missouri, maryland, delaware , kenthucky the emancipation proclamtion made war about slavery the north was figting to end slavery and the south was about keeping slavery
 * **The Gettysburg Address November 19, 1863 **

i think the fatal flaw about the emancipation proclamation was that the south was still keeping their slaves since the border state did not rebel they are still part of the north and they are fighting to end slavery but they still had slaves
