EL DORADO HILLS, CA: January 16, 2017 – General William T. Sherman’s 1865 Carolinas Campaign receives scant attention from most Civil War historians, largely because it was overshadowed by the Army of Northern Virginia’s final battles against the Army of the Potomac. Career military officers Mark A. Smith and Wade Sokolosky rectify this oversight with their newest title, just released by publisher Savas Beatie, “No Such Army Since the Days of Julius Caesar”: Sherman’s Carolinas Campaign from Fayetteville to Averasboro, March 1865, a careful and impartial examination of Sherman’s army and its many accomplishments.

Reading Assignment
Chapter 7:
The Civil War, 1863–1865, pp. 181–217
Unit Lesson
Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation set the tone for the North and thus the country in 1863. It was risky, as
many Northerners were outraged at fighting the war over this cause. However, despite its ability to fragment
Northern society, a cry for freedom invigorated the war effort. At this trying time militarily, the North needed
any source of new or renewed support.
The proclamation also paved the way for black soldiers
to fight. This further increased the North’s already
superior manpower. The South would later attempt to
arm its slaves in an effort to tap this unused source of
manpower. However, the South fought on the grounds
that slaves were not truly men, and arming them was in
contrast to this belief. It was implemented out of
desperation at the end of the war, thus having very little
effect except to erode the morale of many Southern
fighters.
To both armies, black recruits could have been helpful
because both armies suffered from disease, casualties,
and desertion. These factors led them to employ other
ways to man the war. Ironically, the South, fighting for states’ rights, embraced national conscription on a
much wider scale than the North. This created a dilemma for the South on how to raise an army fighting for
the Confederacy rather than individual states. Their national conscription policy expressed their belief in
centralized authority, contrary to a main cause for the secession to begin with, which was a strong belief in
the autonomy of individual states. The Confederacy enacted the first national draft law in American history. A
glaring weakness in the Southern conscription law was that it allowed liberal exemptions and substitutions,
based on the constitutional clause allowing the government to “raise and support armies.” The Northern
conscription was known as the Enrollment Act, and it also allowed for exemptions and substitutions.
One major problem with which the North struggled was morale. The North had expected a quick victory, but
the war was so prolonged that many Northerners began to question the reasons for war and were agitated to
accept terms with the South to end it. Of course, with famine and inflation rampant in the South, the
Confederacy also suffered. Yet, prior to General Sherman, they seemed to suffer more silently. The North
struggled loud and clear, even into late 1863 as it became clear that the South could not win the war. Despite
being unable to win it, the Northern populace ...
This lesson explores George Washington’s leadership and character as commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary War by bringing to life the relationships between him and his generals as they fought for our nation’s freedom.
