Overview
The Civil War (1861-1865)
(The American Nation - pages 448-473)
For more than four years, Americans fought Americans in the Civil War. The South wanted to exist as an independent nation. The North wanted to force the South back into the Union. The war was also linked closely to the question of slavery. President Lincoln made this clear when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Throughout the North and the South, both soldiers and civilians experienced much suffering. The Union's armies struggled in the early years of the war. However, the North's superior resources wore heavily on the South. By the end of 1863, the South was in retreat. In 1865, the South surrendered and the Civil War came to an end. Civil War SectionsThe Conflict Takes Shape
Although both sides believed that their cause was just, the North had important advantages at the start of the war. A Long, Difficult Struggle Despite hopes for a quick victory, both northerners and southerners soon learned that they were in for a long, difficult struggle. A Promise of Freedom By issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln expanded the goals of the war to include the ending of slavery. Hardships of War The demands of the war hurt civilians as well as soldiers on both sides, but the problems were worse in the Confederate states. The War Ends Under the leadership of General Ulysses S. Grant, Union armies used their resources and manpower to defeat the Confederacy. Class PresentationsThe Conflict Takes Shape
