Causes of the Civil War
States Rights The states wanted to chose whether
or not they were free states or slave states, and
not the government telling them. Sectionalism
Representatives were making decisions based on
only what their region needs (South, North, East
,West) rather than the whole country. Tariff The
tariff used tax on imports from Europe which
helped the north because most of the nations
factories were located there. However, it
didnt help the south because south had mostly
agriculture.

Strategies of the Confederates

• The war in the South The confederates (or
  South) knew the land and could maneuver faster,
  hide better, could surprise attack, and surround
  smaller groups.
• Inspiration The confederates looked for
  inspiration to the heroes of 1776 who had
  triumphed over greater odds than southerners
  faced in 1881.
• Concentrating Masses Against Fraction First to
  maneuver to gain advantage of ground or numbers.
  They tried to make sure they had the largest
  number of soldiers on the battlefields. (Power
  in Numbers)

Strategies of the Confederates

• MAIN STRATAGIES OF THE SOUTH
• Whip as many Yankees as they could. This got the
  men motivated and ready to fight.
• To mostly fight in the South This allowed them
  to maneuver trough the trees more easily. They
  thought that it would be better for them but
  instead they ended up getting deprived of their
  food and supplies.
• Their Offensive-Defensive Strategy This
  consisted of defending the Confederate homeland
  by using interior lines of communication (a
  Jominian but also common-sense concept) to
  concentrate dispersed forces against an invading
  army and, if opportunity offered, to go over to
  the offensive, even to the extent of invading the
  North.

Northern Issues of the Civil War
President of the United States in the civil
war When Abe was sworn into office he said A
house divided against itself cannot stand. Abe
decided that going to war would be the only way
to persevere the union.

thought a person no matter what color should be
treated the same. On September 22,1862 the north
warned that if they didnt surrender by c 1,1863
all their slaves would be freed. African American
men rushed to enlist in May of 1863. The
department established the Bureau of Colored
troops. Black soldiers received 7 per month,

badly. Supplies. In the south they where
suffering because the north was blocking the flow
of supplies that go into port. The supplies
