The document summarizes the key battles between Grant and Lee in Virginia from March to October 1864. Grant was put in charge of all Union armies and launched a campaign against Lee to capture Richmond. They fought intense battles at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor, though Grant suffered heavy losses he kept pressing the offensive. This led to a lengthy siege of Petersburg, cutting off Confederate supply lines, which lasted 10 months and ultimately weakened Lee's forces ahead of the war's end in 1865.
Wilderness
The Battle of the Wilderness took place from May 5-7, 1864 in Spotsylvania and Orange Counties, Virginia. Confederate General Robert E. Lee hoped to push the Union forces back to prevent further advancement, while Union General Ulysses S. Grant planned to make the Confederates fall back. Though the Confederates were outnumbered, they fought using guerrilla tactics. The battle resulted in around 30,000 casualties total and was inconclusive, but Grant continued his march forward in a sign that his strategy was to destroy Confederate forces.
Battle of the wilderness powerpoint
The Battle of the Wilderness from May 4-7, 1864 was the first major battle between Union General Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate General Robert E. Lee since Grant took command of the Union army. The battle occurred in a densely forested area called the Wilderness that made tactics difficult. Over the two days of fighting, there were around 25,000 total casualties as the armies battled through the woods, often resorting to hand-to-hand combat. Neither side gained a decisive victory, but Grant continued his strategy of applying pressure on Lee's army by maneuvering south rather than retreating north as other Union generals had typically done.

Antietam CP
The Confederates decided to shift from defensive to offensive warfare after victories in the Eastern theater. They moved into the North for two reasons - to convince Lincoln to let the South secede, which was unlikely, and to gain England's support by demonstrating they could win on Northern soil. However, England had abolished slavery and would not ally with the pro-slavery Confederacy. At Antietam Creek in Maryland, the bloodiest day in American history occurred as the Union and Confederacy fought to a draw, failing the Confederate objectives. Lincoln then issued the Emancipation Proclamation, shifting the war's focus from states' rights to ending slavery.
Gettysburg s
Lee launched a campaign into Pennsylvania hoping for victory on Northern soil to help the peace movement in the North, but was met by Union forces at Gettysburg.

The Civil War was fought between 1861-1865 and resulted from decades of tensions between the northern and southern states over slavery and states' rights. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 prompted several southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America. Major battles like Gettysburg and Vicksburg in 1863 were turning points that shifted momentum to the Union. The war ended in April 1865 with Confederate General Robert E. Lee's surrender to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. Over 360,000 Union soldiers and 258,000 Confederate soldiers lost their lives in the war.
End of the Civil War Powerpoint
Ulysses S. Grant took over as the Union commander in March 1864 and implemented a dual strategy - William Tecumseh Sherman would attack the Deep South while Grant engaged Robert E. Lee in Virginia. This led to several inconclusive battles including the Wilderness and Spotsylvania as Grant tried to flank Lee to take Richmond. Meanwhile, Sherman captured Atlanta after months of maneuvering against Joseph Johnston and John Bell Hood, and then marched to the sea, destroying infrastructure. The fighting in Virginia became entrenched around Petersburg as Grant laid siege from June 1864.
The North Takes Charge
Brief presentation on the end of the Civil War and major battles involved. For use with the Americans, Section 11.4.
The Road To Appomattox
The document discusses key events in the Union's road to victory in the American Civil War, including:
1) General Grant's siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi in 1863, which split the Confederacy in two by giving the Union control of the Mississippi River.
2) The twin defeats of Gettysburg and Vicksburg in 1863, which devastated Confederate morale and fighting power.
3) Grant and Sherman's strategy of "total war" targeting Confederate civilians and infrastructure as well as its armies.
4) Sherman's March through Georgia in 1864, destroying supply lines and cutting a wide path of destruction.
5) General Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia in April
Section 5
The document summarizes several decisive battles of the American Civil War that turned the tide in favor of the Union. The Battle of Gettysburg in 1863 was a major turning point, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides and leading to Lee's retreat. Along with Union victories at Vicksburg and Port Hudson in July 1863, this established the Union's momentum. Later in the war, General Sherman's March to the Sea and capture of Atlanta in 1864 boosted the North. Finally, Grant's siege of Petersburg and Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House in April 1865 brought the war to an end.

Battle of Gettysburg: Ordinary Soldiers and Generals Pickett and Longstreet R...Reflections on Morality, Philosophy, and History
What did the ordinary soldiers and generals tell their loved ones when they wrote home before and after the Battle of Gettysburg that turned the course of the Civil War? How did they remember the carnage of the bloodiest battle of the Civil War?
We reflect both on the letters of General Pickett and ordinary soldiers writing home and the memoirs of General James Longstreet, a close associate of Robert E Lee during the war, describing the bloody battles of Gettysburg, and the correspondence between Robert E Lee and Confederate President Jefferson Davis after the battle.
See our prior reflection for a broad overview of the Civil War through paintings, and some interesting photographs of Civil War forts in Georgia and Florida.

Week 8a
The American Civil War began in 1861 following Abraham Lincoln's election as President. Key issues included states' rights versus federal authority and the expansion of slavery. After 11 southern states seceded to form the Confederacy, the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter, South Carolina. While the Union fought to preserve the nation, the Confederacy fought for states' rights. A major turning point was the three-day Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, where the Union repelled a Confederate invasion of Pennsylvania and inflicted heavy losses. Continued depleted resources and manpower led to Confederate defeat and Lee's surrender in April 1865, effectively ending the war.
How Total War Killed the Confederacy 1864-1865
The document summarizes the key events that led to the end of the American Civil War from 1864-1865. It describes General Grant's strategy of attacking the Confederacy from all sides, General Sherman's "March to the Sea" destroying civilian targets in Georgia, and General Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse in April 1865, effectively ending the war. Over 600,000 soldiers died making it the deadliest war in American history and leaving the Union intact and slavery abolished.
Summary of the civilwar
The American Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865 between the Union (Northern states) and the Confederacy (Southern states).

Notable battles included Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg. The Union was led by President Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant, while the Confederacy was led by President Jefferson Davis and General Robert E. Lee. The war ended in 1865 with the Confederacy's surrender at Appomattox and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

France operated under the Old Regime system prior to the revolution, with an absolute monarch and three estates where social status depended on estate. Enlightenment ideas of equality and democracy spread as the American Revolution inspired people. France's struggling economy and the extravagant spending of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette led to calls for the Estates-General meeting. The Third Estate formed the National Assembly and took the Tennis Court Oath to create a new constitution. Angry citizens then stormed the Bastille prison, sparking the Great Fear across France.

The document summarizes the histories of Alaska and Hawaii. It describes how Alaska was purchased from Russia by Secretary of State William Seward in 1867, despite initial skepticism, and details some of Alaska's natural resources like oil. It also outlines Hawaii's volcanic origins and how it was initially a stopover for traders before missionaries introduced crops like sugar.

Laws that Made it Easier to "Go West"
The document discusses why people went west in the late 19th century, noting that newspapers encouraged moving west to take advantage of new opportunities on the Great Plains following the Civil War. The government passed two acts in 1862, the Morrill Land-Grant Act and the Homestead Act, which gave states land to establish agricultural colleges and settlers ownership of 160 acres respectively if they lived on and farmed the land for several years. Improved transportation, including the 1862 Pacific Railway Act and the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869, made traveling west much easier.
Fighting the War of 1812
The War of 1812 did not go well for the U.S. initially as they were unprepared and lost early battles against the British. By 1814, the British had burned Washington D.C. and launched a bombardment of Baltimore. Although the U.S. flag still flew over Fort McHenry after the attack, inspiring the national anthem, neither side achieved their war aims. The Treaty of Ghent in 1815 returned borders to their pre-war status quo without any territorial changes.
War of 1812
This document summarizes the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain. It describes how tensions arose due to ongoing conflicts between Britain and France, as well as British impressment of American sailors. Despite warnings against foreign entanglements, these issues drew the U.S. into the war in 1812. However, the young U.S. was unprepared and suffered several early defeats. A key moment was when the British burned Washington D.C. The war eventually ended in 1814 with no territorial changes via the Treaty of Ghent, having accomplished little beyond inspiring the national anthem.

The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. emerged as a leader of the boycott movement, which helped spur the civil rights movement.

Appomattox CP
- 2. The end •Losses at Gettysburg and Vicksburg in July, 1863 had merely been the signals to the Confederacy that their struggle was not going to end well.
- 3. The end • As 1863 became 1864 and then 1865, those signals became alarm bells, as Union troops, under the leadership of Grant in the East and Sherman in the West, moved relentlessly toward Richmond.
- 4. The end • Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia had been pursued tirelessly by Grant and the Union Army of the Potomac, primarily in and around Petersburg, VA, just to the south of the Confederate capital at Richmond.
- 5. The end • With no supplies and needing to be able to move, Lee abandoned Petersburg on April 2, 1865, and Union troops marched into Richmond on April 3.
- 6. The end •As Lee continued his retreat west, away from Richmond, he fought small skirmishes and battles against the Union troops.
- 7. The end • His hope was to unite with General Joseph E. Johnston’s troops somewhere in North Carolina and, hopefully, raise some kind of stand against the advancing Union army.
- 8. The end • However, he was never able to realize this hope and decided that he could not subject his men to any more fighting and, facing the possibility of being surrounded, Lee sent a message to General Grant asking for terms of surrender.
- 9. The end • Some in Lee’s army wanted to continue on and fight a guerilla war, which would mean a series of hit-and-run attacks and surprise raids against Union forces.
- 10. The end • Lee believed that more fighting would only bring more devastation to his country, Virginia, than he could bare and decided to meet General Grant at Appomattox Court House, VA.
- 11. surrender •Grant’s terms for surrender were quite generous, given what had happened between the two sides for the four previous years.
- 12. surrender • Confederate soldiers would be allowed to keep their horses and mules and would not be punished as traitors, as long as the obeyed the laws where they lived.
- 13. surrender • Union soldiers fired their guns and artillery salutes when news of the surrender reached them, but Grant quickly ended this, knowing the now former Confederates were part of the Union again.
- 14. surrender • On April 9, 1865, 3 days short of the 4 th anniversary of the attack on Fort Sumter, the Civil War was over and the country now had to figure out how to bring everyone back together.
