    US History/Civil War 1 US History/Civil War Politics Before The War In the presidential election of 1860 the Republican Party nominated Abraham Lincoln as its candidate. Party spirit soared as leaders declared that slavery could spread no farther. The party also promised a tariff for the protection of industry and pledged the enactment of a law granting free homesteads to settlers who would help in the opening of the West. The Democrats were not united. Southerners split from the party and nominated Vice President John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky for president. Stephen A. Douglas was the nominee of northern Democrats. Diehard Whigs from the border states, formed into the Constitutional Union Party, nominated John C. Bell of Tennessee. Lincoln and Douglas competed in the North, and Breckenridge and Bell in the South. Lincoln won only 39 percent of the popular vote, but had a clear majority of 180 electoral votes, carrying all 18 free states. Bell won Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia; Breckenridge took the other slave states except for Missouri, which was won by Douglas. Despite his poor electoral showing, Douglas trailed only Lincoln in the popular vote. Lincoln's election made South Carolina's secession from the Union a foregone conclusion. Causes of the Civil War The top five causes of the Civil War are: • Social and Economic differences between the North and South • States verus Federal Rights • The fight between slave and non-slave advocates • Abolition growth • Election of Abraham Lincoln [1] Dixie's Constitution By the end of March, 1861, the Confederacy had created a constitution and elected its first and only president, Jefferson Davis.

  • ARMY COMMUNICATOR 150Th Anniversary Edition
    Chief of Signal Significant accomplishments behind, challenges ahead We have certainly come a long way over the past 150 years. Beginning in 1860 with the inventor of the very first formal visual signaling system for the Army, Major Albert J. Myer, our first Chief of Signal, to the advanced information technologies we have today; it has been a tumultuous climb for all those who served in our Signal Regiment. Significant changes have coursed throughout the world during the past three years as we orchestrated communications in two combat theaters and advanced American interests globally. We are downsizing our military forces in Iraq where elections have taken place twice, demonstrating that this country is well on its way to establishing democracy and becoming a stabilized nation in the Middle East. As the threat in Afghanistan continues to grow, we are anticipating an increased military presence in that country for the foreseeable future. Natural disasters continue devastating areas of the United States and other parts of the world. The hybrid nature of the threats to our nation are forcing us to become more agile and adaptable as we learn to operate in complex, uncertain environments. The way our young Soldiers and leaders learn today is very different from the way our senior members of the force learned 10 or 20 years ago. The dramatic growth of information technologies fielded to our forces has placed unprecedented demands on our Regimental Soldiers at all echelons. For us, all these changes in our world demand change within our Regiment and institution. Over the past three years we continued modifying our enlisted force structure to ensure we have the right MOS to meet the requirements of a modular force.

Associate Professor of Physics, Iowa State ColleQe (Abstract of an address Qiven before the Forestry Club) After efficient patroling, the next problem confronting those engaged in preventing the destruction of our forests by fire is the problem of an easy, sure, and speedy means of communica­ tion. The means of communication at present in use seem to be inadequate to the needs of the service. Ordinary telegraph and telephone lines cover too limited an area and in many cases will be too far away for the patrolman to reach without a great loss of time. The service is easily interrupted by the breaking or grounding of wires under windfalls. The cost of construction is high. The wigwag and heliograph are good for only a few miles at best and can not be used at night or when the air is smoky.

Many of them have appeared in magazines or in the "Birch-Bark Roll" thait has come out annually for ten years. But this is the first time in which a comprehensive collection has been made of the activities, customs, laws, and amusements that have been developed in my camps. Some of the related subjects I have treated at too great length for enclosure in one book. Of this class are the "Life Histories of Northern Animals," "Animal Stories," "Sign Language" and "Forestry," which appear as separate works. All are merely parts of a scheme that I have always considered my life work, namely, the development or revival of Woodcraft as a schocrf for Manhood. By Woodcraft I mean outdoor life in its broadest sense and the plan has ever been with me since boyhood. Woodcraft is the first of all the sciences. It was Woodcraft that made man out of brutish material, and Woodcraft in its highest form may save him from decay.

  • To Kill and to Heal: Weapons and Medicine of the Civil War a Teacher Resource Guide
    Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum PresidentLincoln.org To Kill and to Heal: Weapons and Medicine of the Civil War A Teacher Resource Guide ** The activities in this resource guide can be adjusted to correlate with the objectives of the National Common Core Standards to accommodate various grade levels and individual classrooms.** INTRODUCTION Despite their sharp philosophical and moral divisions over the expansion of slavery and the election of Abraham Lincoln, Northerners and Southerners actually shared some common practical background as the Civil War approached. Both sides had similar weapons and military training, as well as medical knowledge and education. They also shared a lack of preparedness for a long and costly war. Although more than 620,000 soldiers died during the Civil War, countless others were sick and wounded, yet survived. Providing appropriate medical care was Project Gutenberg's The Civil War Centennial a complex challenge for both sides. Handbook While both the North and the South were inexperienced, ill-equipped and unprepared to fight a protracted war, the North had numerical and material advantages over the South before the Civil War began, including greater industrial capacity, a transportation network that integrated more than 22,000 miles of railroad track, canals and macadamized roads, and a population of 22 million that was augmented by a steady influx of immigrants. The South, in comparison, had only 9,000 miles of inefficient, deteriorating railroad track and an 1860 population of just over 9 million people, 38.7% of whom were slaves. In addition, the southern economy was based on agriculture (cotton, tobacco, and sugarcane) and used slave labor to produce those commodities.

  • Alm-\IY PHYSICIAN and CI,M1\ATOLOGIST
    ALBERT JAMIES MA\YER: AlM-\IY PHYSICIAN AND CI,M1\ATOLOGIST BY FREDERIC J. HUGHES, JR. MAJOR GENERAL, MEDICAL CORPS, U.S. ARMIY SAN FRANCISCO Gentlemen: I am deep)ly grateful and also very impressed by the privilege accorded me in election to membership in this distinguished society. Some years ago General Heaton, then the Army Surgeon General, asked me to gather for him some information about General Leonard Wood, the only medical officer to have held the position of Chief of Staff, the Army's highest military command. This revived an interest on my part in the non-medical accomplishments of other Army medical officers. It is not widely known that 33 physicians in the Civil War attained general officer rank while serving in non-medical capacities.1 One of these was Albert James Myer, a physician who became the Army's first Chief Signal Officer and the founder of what later became the U. S. Weather Bureau. Doctor Myer was a pioneer climatologist and an ac- count of his career seemed an appropriate topic for presentation before this Association. I was stationed at Walter Reed General Hospital at the time and on many occasions had visited Fort Myer, adjoining Arlington National Cemetery and named for the General. Additionally, I had learned that the most knowledgeable authority on General Myer, a historian of the now defunct Army Signal Corps Historical Division, resided in the Washington area. He is Dr. Paul Joseph Scheips, a his- torian in the office of the Chief of Military History, Department of the Army. General Myer's career was the subject of Doctor Scheips's doctoral thesis at the American University which he very generously permitted me to peruse.2 A briefer recounting of General Myer's career was pub- lished by Doctor George M.
