  • The Anaconda Plan Questions
    Name: edHelper The Anaconda Plan The first shots of the Civil War were fired on April 12, 1861. Within a week, President Lincoln proclaimed a blockade of Southern ports. This was the key to the North's strategy to win the war. The South's livelihood depended on selling its cash crops, mostly cotton and tobacco. If all Southern ports were blocked, it would stop the South's income from its export of crops. It would also keep the South from importing products it needed, including war supplies, medicine, and household goods. The North knew that the South had few factories and couldn't manufacture its own supplies. General Winfield Scott was the commander of the Union Army. His plan to defeat the Confederacy had three main parts: 1) Blockade all Eastern and Southern ports in the Confederate States. 2) Divide the South by taking control of the Mississippi River. 3) Control the Tennessee Valley and march through Georgia to the coast. Scott's "Anaconda Plan", as the press called it, was not well received at the time. Newspapers named the plan after a South American constricting snake. The anaconda kills by surrounding its victim and slowly crushing the life out of it. Newspapers and the public wanted an aggressive plan that would bring a quick end to the war. Scott's plan would take time. It was thought to be too passive. The press said that Scott wanted "to squeeze the South to military death." It was thought that the blockade would be an impossible task for the North to carry out.

  • William Seward and the Trent Affair
    William Seward and the Trent Affair http://civilwar150.longwood.edu In late December, 1861, the Trent Affair continued to dominate national and international news, with President Lincoln and his secretary of state, William Seward, both playing major roles in ending the controversy. Born in Orange County, New York in 1801, William H. Seward was one of the most prominent anti-slavery politicians of the mid-1800s, first as a Whig and then as a Republican. He had studied law at Union College in 1820 and within a few years entered the world of politics. Starting in 1830, Seward served in the New York state senate, and in 1838 he became governor of New York for the first of two terms. Even though Seward was born into a slave owning family, his abolitionist stance made him well known and in 1849 and 1855 he was elected to the U.S. Senate. In the aftermath of the Compromise of 1850 he had gained prominence for his “Higher Law” speech opposing the expansion of slavery. Seward hoped to obtain the Republican nomination for president in 1860, and was disappointed when the party chose Abraham Lincoln as its standard bearer. After Lincoln won the presidential election, Seward accepted the position of Secretary of State, hoping he could influence the less- experienced president. Seward and Lincoln clashed over various issues during the early months of the administration, but he eventually developed into an able and loyal cabinet member. In early November 1861, Captain Charles Wilkes of the U.S.S. San Jacinto had seized Confederate diplomats James Mason and John Slidell from British ship Trent.

  • Follow in Lincoln's Footsteps in Virginia
    FOLLOW IN LINCOLN’S FOOTSTEPS IN VIRGINIA A 5 Day tour of Virginia that follows in Lincoln’s footsteps as he traveled through Central Virginia. Day One • Begin your journey at the Winchester-Frederick County Visitor Center housing the Civil War Orientation Center for the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District. Become familiar with the onsite interpretations that walk visitors through the stages of the local battles. • Travel to Stonewall Jackson’s Headquarters. Located in a quiet residential area, this Victorian house is where Jackson spent the winter of 1861-62 and planned his famous Valley Campaign. • Enjoy lunch at The Wayside Inn – serving travelers since 1797, meals are served in eight antique filled rooms and feature authentic Colonial favorites. During the Civil War, soldiers from both the North and South frequented the Wayside Inn in search of refuge and friendship. Serving both sides in this devastating conflict, the Inn offered comfort to all who came and thus was spared the ravages of the war, even though Stonewall Jackson’s famous Valley Campaign swept past only a few miles away. • Tour Belle Grove Plantation. Civil War activity here culminated in the Battle of Cedar Creek on October 19, 1864 when Gen. Sheridan’s counterattack ended the Valley Campaign in favor of the Northern forces. The mansion served as Union headquarters. • Continue to Lexington where we’ll overnight and enjoy dinner in a local restaurant. Day Two • Meet our guide in Lexington and tour the Virginia Military Institute (VMI). The VMI Museum presents a history of the Institute and the nation as told through the lives and services of VMI Alumni and faculty.

  • Camp Parapet: “Contraband” Camp
    Camp Parapet: “Contraband” Camp Enslaved blacks who freed themselves by escaping to Union army camps during the Civil War were called “contraband of war”. Slaves from sugar plantations along the Mississippi made Camp Parapet a “contraband camp” after New Orleans was captured by Union navy and army in the spring of 1862. The camp commander, General John W. Phelps, refused to return runaway slaves to their owners. The planters complained about General Phelps to General Benjamin F. Butler, overall commander of Union troops in the New Orleans area: “My negro sam and his wife Mary left my farm, about 2 miles above Camp Parapet, on the morning of the 19th instant, before daylight…..I called on General Phelps…He could not give any redress, his views on the slavery question are different from any other I ever heard on this subject before.” W. Mitthoff to General Benjamin F. Butler, May 21,1862 “As the President of the Police Jury, Parish of Jefferson, Left Bank (East Bank), I feel it my duty to call your attention to the demoralizing effect on the serving population, not alone of this Parish, but of the whole state, by the course General Phelps adopted in refusing to return our servants.” W. Mitthoff to General Benjamin F. Butler, May 29, 1862 “Seven of my most valuable slaves have been for nearly a month at General Phelps’ camp, and all my efforts to get them back have proved unavailing.” Polycarpe Fortier to General Benjamin F. Butler, June 4, 1862 “ I am informed that two of my slaves, viz: Nancy, a negress, about 35 or 40 years old, and Louisa, a dark griff about 40 or 45 years old, are at the camp of General Phelps above Carrollton.” V.

Si oni fie :ance: This small Italianate commercial building is a fine example of pre-Civil War commercial Washington architecture. This building served as one of the first photographic studios in the City of Washington, being put to that use in 1850. From 1358-1831, it housed the National Photographic Art Gallery and the studio of the world renowned photographer Mathew B. Brady. Brady is remembered for his photo- graphs of the Civil War and the many portraits he took of famous personages of that era. PART I. HISTORICAL INFORMATION A. Phyical History: 1. Date of erection: It is not possible to pinpoint the exact date of construction for this building. The Corporation of Washington Tax Books record a significant increase in value of improvements from $3,800.00 in 1854 to $7,500.00 in 1855. Prior to 1854 the value of im- provements remains relatively constant as far back as the' mid-1830's, when the Tax Books are too unclear to interpret accurately. Stylistically, the two street facades represent different eras.
