Secondly he seems to accept the results of the Appomattox surrender as an example of American exceptionalism, in that both sides immediately laid down their arms and reconciled with little effort. Furthermore, his bias is on the side of the angels, to my way of thinking. Yet for all of the book's strengths and my increased admiration for them, I also saw flaws that I missed the first time through. For instance, a table on page suggests that it was a "poor man's fight," with laborers, farmers, making up the bulk of the Union forces. The valor of the soldiers and civilians on both sides of the conflict is presented from the inside and with respect and reverence. May 29, Bryan Jones rated it it was amazing.

Those who felt a sense of doom and wondered if even God had deserted them especially, at times, Abraham Lincoln often ended in triumph. Foremost among them was the opportunity to learn the things I had missed the first time around. Why would they? While this ideology was gelling into a movement which would propel the Republican Party to prominence, the section of the country dependent on a slave economy was taking an increasingly hard position of viewing any opposition to slavery as a direct threat to its way of life. This account is not purely a muddy slog through an exceptionally violent conflict - McPherson regularly points to battles more bloody than various combinations of other American conflicts - but also shoots off to consider other issues, developing technologies, the role of the war in promoting the production of clothes in standardised sizes a regular feature of shopping that can be attributed to the need for uniforming hundreds of thousands of men without needing to tailor every shirt or pair of trousers.

  • Chapter One: the Campaign for Chattanooga, June to November 1863
    CHAPTER ONE: THE CAMPAIGN FOR CHATTANOOGA, JUNE TO NOVEMBER 1863 Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park commemorates and preserves the sites of important and bloody contests fought in the fall of 1863. A key prize in the fighting was Chattanooga, Tennessee, an important transportation hub and the gateway to Georgia and Alabama. In the Battle of Chickamauga (September 18-20, 1863), the Confederate Army of Tennessee soundly beat the Federal Army of the Cumberland and sent it in full retreat back to Chattanooga. After a brief siege, the reinforced Federals broke the Confeder- ate grip on the city in a series of engagements, known collectively as the Battles for Chatta- nooga. In action at Brown’s Ferry, Wauhatchie, and Lookout Mountain, Union forces eased the pressure on the city. Then, on November 25, 1863, Federal troops achieved an unex- pected breakthrough at Missionary Ridge just southeast of Chattanooga, forcing the Con- federates to fall back on Dalton, Georgia, and paving the way for General William T. Sherman’s advance into Georgia in the spring of 1864. These battles having been the sub- ject of exhaustive study, this context contains only the information needed to evaluate sur- viving historic structures in the park. Following the Battle of Stones River (December 31, 1862-January 2, 1863), the Federal Army of the Cumberland, commanded by Major General William S. Rosecrans, spent five and one-half months at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, reorganizing and resupplying in preparation for a further advance into Tennessee (Figure 2). General Braxton Bragg’s Confederate Army of Tennessee was concentrated in the Tullahoma, Tennessee, area.

  • Battle of Shiloh
    Battle of Shiloh Essential Questions: What was the outcome of the Battle of Shiloh? What was the significance of the Battle of Shiloh? After victories at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, the Union army in the West seemed ready to defeat the Confederates anywhere they were. The Union Army of the Tennessee, led by Ulysses S. Grant, pushed deep into the state with the idea of linking up with Don Carlos Buell’s Army of the Ohio and pursuing the rebel army in Mississippi. The Confederates wanted to force Grant out of Tennessee. Grant moved his army to a small port called Pittsburgh Landing located on the western section of the Tennessee river. A small church named Shiloh, meaning “place of peace” in Hebrew stood nearlby. It was there that the Confederates attacked on April 6, 1862. After two days of hard fighting, 20,000 men were either killed or wounded.1 It was, up to that time, the largest battle to ever take place in the Western Hemisphere. After defeating the Confederates at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, Grant continued to chase the rebels. He knew the defeated rebel army was regrouping around Corinth, Mississippi, and it was Grant’s intention to build up his own forces and strike the enemy there. So, even with the “weather cold and roads impassable,” Grant went south toward Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee River. Grant estimated the Confederate strength at Corinth to be between 50,000 and 60,000.2 When he arrived at Pittsburg Landing, Grant did not order his soldiers to entrench, but instead waited patiently for Major-General Don Carlos Buell’s Army of the Ohio to arrive from the north.

  • 21 DL Battle of Stones River
    Battle of Stones River The fall and early winter of 1862 was a difficult time for the Union army and northern morale. Although he had stopped a Confederate invasion, General George B. McClellan had failed to cut off the fleeing Confederates and destroy Robert E. Lee’s army after the Battle of Antietam. Instead, Lee’s army slipped quietly back into Virginia where it would continue to cause frustration for the Federal army. In December, the Union Army of the Potomac, commanded by General Ambrose Burnside, was soundly defeated at Fredericksburg. Also, General Ulysses S. Grant, the hero of Fort Donelson and Shiloh, had failed to capture the Mississippi River post at Vicksburg. This failure was largely due to Confederate cavalry raiders, such as Nathan Bedford Forrest and Earl Van Dorn, who ran circles around Grant’s plodding army cutting communication lines and confiscating supplies. Although a Confederate invasion of Kentucky had been repulsed at Perryville, General Don Carlos Buell seemingly refused to deploy his Army of the Cumberland to attack Confederate General Braxton Bragg’s Army of the Tennessee. In October, Buell was replaced by William S. Rosecrans. Lincoln made it clear that if Rosecrans wanted to keep his job, he had better march against Bragg.1 In essence, the Union needed a victory, and Lincoln hoped Rosecrans would provide it. In December, President Jefferson Davis visited Bragg’s headquarters at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Citizens of the small town showered the beloved president with balls and dinners. While there, Davis sent a large number of Bragg’s men westward to slow Grant’s approach to Vicksburg.

  • Lincoln's Presidency and the Civil
    The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: LINCOLN’S PRESIDENCY AND THE CIVIL WAR Grade 8 United States History and Geography I. Introduction n composing his first inaugural address, delivered March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln Ifocused on shoring up his support in the North without further alienating the South, where he was almost universally hated or feared. He avoided any mention of the Republican Party platform, which condemned all efforts to reopen the African slave trade and denied the authority of Congress or a territorial legislature to legalized slavery in the territories. The address also denied any plan on the part of the Lincoln administration to interfere with the institution of slavery in states where it existed. But to Lincoln, the Union, which he saw as older even than the Constitution, was perpetual and unbroken, and secession legally impossible. Until the final draft, Lincoln’s address had ended with a question for the South: “Shall it be peace or sword?” In the famous concluding paragraph, Lincoln moderated his tone dramatically and ended on a memorable note of conciliation: I am loth to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stre[t]ching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

  • Chapter 6 (The Civil War, 1861-1862)
    SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY Chapter 6: The Civil War, 1861-1862 Chapter 7: The Civil War, 1863-1865 The scholarship devoted to the Civil War, particularly in the past two decades, has been extraordinary, both in quantity and quality At the top of the "must read" list would be two exceptional general works by James McPherson, Ordeal By Fire: The Civil War and Reconstruction, (4th ed., McGraw-Hill, 2010), which places the war in a broad nineteenth- century context, devoting approximately equal attention to the prewar era, the war, and the postwar decades, and the now classic Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era (Oxford University Press, 1988), a masterpiece of scholarship on the war years that set the standard for the field. For an excellent traditional military history of the war, see Russell F. Weigley, A Great Civil War: A Military and Political History (Indiana University Press, 2000). Other outstanding surveys are Allen C. Guelzo, Fateful Lightning: A New History of the Civil War and Reconstruction (Oxford University Press, 2012); Charles P. Roland, An American Iliad: The Story of the Civil War (2nd ed., University of Kentucky Press, 2004); and Michael Fellman, Lesley Gordon, and Daniel Sutherland, This Terrible War: The Civil War and Its Aftermath (2nd ed., Prentice Hall, 2009). Louis Masur, The Civil War (Oxford University Press, 2011) is a brief yet valuable survey. Older but good multivolume works include Allan Nevins, The War for the Union (4 vols., Scribner, 1959-1971); Bruce Catton, The Centennial History of the Civil War (3 vols., Doubleday, 1961-1965); Shelby Foote, The Civil War (3 vols., Random House, 1958- 1974); and Kenneth P Williams, Lincoln Finds a General: A Military Study of the Civil War (5 vols., Macmillan, 1949-1959).

  • Civil War Soldier
    TENNESSEE’S TRAVELING TREASURES TEACHER’S FOR GRADES Lesson Plan 4 – 12 The Life of a Civil War Soldier An Educational Outreach Program of the TENNESSEE’S TRAVELING TREASURES The Life of a Civil War Soldier Introduction GOAL The goal of this treasure trunk is to learn about the impact of the Civil War on the personal life of a soldier. CONTENT The personal life of a soldier was extremely difficult. A nation had declared war, but individual men were sent to fight. They were husbands, sons, and brothers. They were farmers, tailors and local businessmen. The individual decision to fight for the Union or the Confederacy had a lasting impact on families and communities. Not only were families saying goodbye to loved ones, at times they sent them off to battle each other. O B J E C T I V E S • Specify personal sacrifices of soldiers and their families. • Identify impact of national decisions on individuals. • Understand the impact of individual decisions on families and communities. A MOTHER AND SON • Comprehend similarities and differences of social customs within the same country. DURING THE CIVIL WAR • List the personal items that a Civil War soldier might carry with them. • Understand the impact of the Civil War on Tennessee. INTRODUCTION Picture how scary it must have been for your brother or father to go off to fight in places you had never heard of until the war started. Think of the uncertainties: not knowing when or if you would ever see them alive again and having to continue your daily life without them.
