William Tecumseh Sherman led the March to the Sea from May to December 1864. His goal was to take Atlanta, a key railway hub supplying the Confederacy, and break Southern morale. Sherman's army of 100,000 men faced 50,000 Confederates led by Joseph Johnston, who was cautious and unwilling to fully commit to battle. Through flanking maneuvers, Sherman pushed Johnston back toward Atlanta over several months of skirmishing. On September 1st, Sherman's forces had surrounded Atlanta, forcing Confederate General John Bell Hood to evacuate the city. Sherman then ordered all civilians to leave Atlanta within 5 days before burning the city to the ground, destroying its ability to support the South.

Civil War Part 1: Introduction Part 2: First total war Part 3: Impact of Technology Part 4: Political leadership Part 5: General Grant in the West Part 6: Eastern stalemate Part 7: Theories for Southern defeat 1 Part 1: Introduction A) April 1861: Fort Sumter falls B) July 1861: First Battle of Bull Run 2 A) April 1861: Fort Sumter falls Lincoln re supplied it, after telling Southerners there was no guns or ammunition in supplies Confederates still attacked the fort on the Island in harbor of Charleston, South Carolina 3 Pt.1 (Continued) Thereafter, four more states from the upper South joined the Confederacy: Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas Lincoln held on to Maryland, a border slave state, only by suspending habeas corpus, there, and arresting Confederate sympathizers 4 Pt.1 B) July 1861: First Battle of Bull Run Union army was march towards the Confederates at Manassas Junction After a period of battle that had lasted from dawn to midday, freshly arrived Union troops from Massachusetts excitedly charged up Henry Hill Confederate troops broke rank, and exuberant Union troops shouted, “The war is over!” 5 Pt.1 (Continued) The Union troops gave way slowly at first, but discipline dissolved once the commander ordered a retreat, and the army quickly degenerated into a frightened, stampeding mob This rout at Bull Run sobered the North. Gone were the dreams of ending the war with one glorious battle 6 Pt.1 Part 2: First total war Magnitude: The Civil War on the other hand, was the first war whose battles routinely involved more than 100,000k troops. This many combatants could only be: Equipped through the use of factory produced weaponry Moved and supplied through the help of railroads, Sustained only through the concerted efforts of the CIVILIAN population as a whole. 7 (Continued) The following were critical to the outcome of the war: The morale of the population as a whole, The quality of POLITICAL leadership, The utilization of the industrial and economic might. 8 Pt.2 Part 3: Impact of Technology The Telegraph: 9 (Continued) The Rifle: smooth bore Muskets which had served as the basic infantry weapon, gave way to the rifle. Easier to load, and the invention of the percussion cap made the rifle serviceable in wet weather. An effective range of 400 yards (5 times greater than the old muskets) Magnitude and casualties higher Emphasize defense over offense 10 Pt.3 Part 4: Political leadership 11 National experience consisted of one term in the House of Representatives! Shrewd judge of character and a superb politician To achieve a common goal, he overlooked withering criticism and personal slights Few presidents have better able to communicate to the average citizen. Popularity with the troops was called “universal.” (Continued) Effective military leader as commander in chief. Understood that the Union’s superior manpower and materiel would be decisive only when the Confederacy was threatened.

1 HIST 120 Dr. Schaffer The Battle of Trenton Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851), by Emanuel Leutze This painting is one of the most famous depictions of an event from American history. Washington Crossing the Delaware was painted in 1851 by a German immigrant named Emanuel Leutze. (Therefore, this picture was painted long after the event it depicts and is not a primary source for the Revolutionary War.) The painting depicts the dangerous and daring crossing of the Delaware River by General George Washington on the night of December 25, 1776. Washington went on to capture 1,000 Hessians at the Battle of Trenton, in New Jersey, in the wee hours of the morning of December 26. (The Hessians were German mercenaries and played a role in the British army similar to that of special forces.) Despite the fact that Leutze painted this picture long after the Revolutionary War had ended, his painting nevertheless captures the bravery (desperation? foolhardiness?) of Washington’s expedition, as well as the rag-tag nature of the Continental Army. Note that only some of the men in the boat are in uniform. Note also that one of the men is African American. Historians think that one of the men holding the flag may represent the future president James Madison, who served under Washington in the Revolutionary War. By late 1776 the war was going badly for the Patriots (aka the American rebels). Washington and the Continental Army did not have the training necessary to defeat the British in a pitched battle 2 HIST 120 Dr. Schaffer (where the two sides line up on opposite sides of a battlefield) and he had kept the war going by using guerilla tactics and forcing the British army to chase him around the countryside. Furthermore, the term of enlistment for much of Washington’s army ended on December 31, 1776 and the soldiers in the Continental Army were so demoralized and poorly provisioned that Washington feared that they would chose not to re-enlist. Washington needed a game-changer and therefore, with utmost secrecy, he planned an attack on a force of Hessians at Trenton for Christmas night 1776. This campaign was so secret that, as the soldiers headed off into a raging blizzard on December 25, they did not yet know what their target was. Conditions were not conducive to a top- secret covert operation. Washington had divided his forces into three contingents; one would cross the Delaware south of Trenton; one would cross near Trenton; and the force personally commanded by Washington himself would cross north of Trenton. The plan was to converge on Trenton in a coordinated attack, taking the drunken and sleepy Hessians by surprise (it was Christmas night – they had been partying). A night-time coordinated attack under the best of circumstances in the eighteenth century, before modern communication-tools like radio, was extremely difficult. Moreover, ...

How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts

Col Mukteshwar Prasad

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials

Excellence Foundation for South Sudan

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024. He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
