American Civil War

Transcript: 1861–1865 Introduction Let the band play Dixie After the tragic defeat of the Confederate Army at the Battle of Gettysburg Robert E. Lee was forced to merely defend his country rather than attack the north. As Robert E. Lee and U.S. Grant continued to check and mate each other at every turn the latter was finally able to corner Robert E. Lee in a small town called Appomattox court house in Virginia on April 18, 1865 where Robert E. Lee surrendered to U.S. Grant in the home of Wilmer and Virginia McLean who ironically had had a home in the town of Bull Run, where the first major battle of the Civil War occurred. When the news of the surrender of Robert E. Lee reached Abaraham Lincoln he ordered the White House band to play the southern armies victory song, Dixie. It all started with the Durham Report, where he published an article that was biased towards the English population of Canada. It involved a union between upper and lower Canada, responsible government dominated by the English inhabitants of the Canadas, Colonial control of internal affairs (but in a very limit sense), assimilation of the French-speaking population, and Durham also targeted issues such as settlements and land grants. Many French-speaking Canadians were outraged at the recommendations that they be assimilated and the suggestion that they had no culture or history. In Upper Canada, reformers were enthusiastic about the report's call for responsible government. The conservative ruling class was less impressed, although they supported union. terms were decidedly unfair to Lower Canada: it was expected to help pay Upper Canada's £1.2 million debt (it had very little), and held it to fifty percent of the seats in the new Assembly despite having a much larger population. Durham had intended the Act of Union, 1840 to weaken the power of French Canadian parties. Its effect was the opposite: no government could be formed without the support of one of the French Canadian parties. As a result, it was not long before the English-only requirement for the Assembly was revoked, and a system of dual-premiership evolved. As the alliances were sometimes unlikely, and issues often rose to break them, governments did not last long. Ultimately, this began to shake the confidence of people in the union of the provinces. -www.canadiana.ca -My father, Paul Large Canada's evolution to "responsible government" American Civil War The Beginning of the End What was to be a short bloodless war turned out to be the bloodiest war in American history, for example, more American soldiers died in fifteen minutes at the battle of Antietam than died in the entire Revolutionary War. Over a thousand battles were fought is this four year war from more cities and towns that can be named. Some towns changed hands more than four times. It was not until the American army turned it's leadership over to U.S. Grant that actual headway was made towards a northern victory. The Confederate army (the army of northern Virginia) under the leadership of Robert E. Lee had many triumphant victories against the north but when they came up against the American army in a small town called Gettysburg is where they suffered their most destructive defeat. The American Civil War started in 1861 - 1865. The popular reason for the war was the freedom of the slaves, but in actual fact it was more about states rights than the emancipation proclamation. The President of the United States of America was Abraham Lincoln, and the President of the Confederate States of America was Jefferson Davis. Bibliography

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR Official Start: 1861 April 12th 4:00 A.M The American Civil War was not a traditional war for control of the goverment. The South and The North fought for different reasons. the most commonly known reason, was the South's need for black slaves. Due to the huge plantations of cotton in the south, they belived in useing black slaves as free labour to collect the cotton. The North opposed the idea of slaves and the government tried to ban use of slaves in the country. This added extra conflict between two opposeing sides (The South and the North) who already had tensions growing. The biggest reasons for the war was that the South wanted independence and seperation from the North. Due to the fact that the goverment is located in the north the South felt that they should not be told how to live their lives by people who lived in a different cultre from their own. An example of this would be how The South printed their own currency. They wanted to preserve their culture and allow themsleves to live independently. The American Civil War was a conflict fought between two sides, The North or The Union and The South or The Confederates. The war was in essence brother fighting against brother. The Union was commanded by General Ulysses S. Grant and The Confederates were commanded by General Robert E. Lee. Prior to the the offcial start of the war, tensions between the south and north grew, as the northern government began to abolish slavery (Lincolns election and policy against slavery) By: Andrew And Christopher Blue is the Union Gray is Confederate Green is split between the two Red is unsettled territory The Battle of Antietam: September 17th 1862 General Robert E.
