Civil War Made
description of the major philosophical differences btwn the n & the s that made the civil war seem inevitable?
States rights and the constitution with regards to "confederation" vrs. federalism as we know it today. Slavery was an issue driven by concerns for human rights, it was becoming realized it was IMMORAL but many saw it as a side issue, more of an economic issue particularly with the invention of the cotton gin and explosion of cotton in the South as a money maker. Southern farmers were selling it to european mills overseas for a higher price than it was drawing in the US. Until the invention of the cotton gin, slavery had nearly died out in the US

| | Civil War in Europe, 1905-1949 (Hardcover) $189.45 "This is the first account in any language of the civil wars in Europe during the era of the world wars, from 1905 to 1949. It treats the initial confrontations in the decade before World War I, the confusing concept of "European civil war," the impact of the world wars, the relation between revolution and civil war, and all the individual cases of civil war, with special attention to Russia and Spain. The civil wars of this era are compared and contrasted with earlier internal conflicts, with particularattention to the factors that made this era a time of unusually violent domestic contests, as well as those that brought it to an end. The major political, ideological, and social influences are all treated, with a special focus on violence against civilians"-- |
| | The Civil War in Missouri (Hardcover) $34.55 Guerrilla warfare, border fights, and unorganized skirmishes are all too often the only battles associated with Missouri during the Civil War. Combined with the state`s distance from both sides` capitals, this misguided impression paints Missouri as an insignificant player in the nation`s struggle to define itself. Such notions, however, are far from an accurate picture of the Midwest state`s contributions to the war`s outcome. Though traditionally cast in a peripheral role, the conventional warfare of Missouri was integral in the Civil War`s development and ultimate conclusion. The strategic battles fought by organized armies are often lost amidst the stories of guerrilla tactics and bloody combat, but in The Civil War in Missouri, Louis S. Gerteis explores the state`s conventional warfare and its effects on the unfolding of national history. Both the Union and the Confederacy had a vested interest in Missouri throughout the war. The state offered control of both the lower Mississippi valley and the Missouri River, strategic areas that could greatly factor into either side`s success or failure. Control of St. Louis and mid-Missouri were vital for controlling the West, and rail lines leading across the state offered an important connection between eastern states and the communities out west. The Confederacy sought to maintain the Ozark Mountains as a northern border, which allowed concentrations of rebel troops to build in the Mississippi valley. With such valuable stock at risk, Lincoln registered the importance of keeping rebel troops out of Missouri, and so began the conventional battles investigated by Gerteis. The first book-length examination of its kind, The Civil War in Missouri: A Military History dares to challenge the prevailing opinion that Missouri battles made only minor contributions to the war. Gerteis specifically focuses not only on the principal conventional battles in the state but |
| | Lincoln and the Civil War (Hardcover) $33.53 In Lincoln and the Civil War, Michael Burlingame explores the experiences and qualities that made Abraham Lincoln one of America’s most revered leaders. This volume provides an illuminating overview of the entirety of the Civil War and Lincoln’s administration, focusing on the ways in which Lincoln’s unique combination of psychological maturity, steely determination, and political wisdom made him the North’s secret weapon that ultimately led to supremacy over the Confederacy. When war erupted in 1861, the North—despite its superior economic resources and manpower—was considered the underdog of the conflict. The need to invade the South brought no advantage to the inefficient, poorly led Union Army. In contrast, Southerners’ knowledge of their home terrain, access to railroads, familiarity with firearms, and outdoor lifestyles, along with the presumed support of foreign nations, made victory over the North seem a likely outcome. In the face of such daunting obstacles, only one person could unite disparate Northerners and rally them to victory in the darkest moments of the war: Abraham Lincoln. While Lincoln is often remembered today as one of America’s wisest presidents, he was not always considered so sage. Burlingame demonstrates how, long before the rigors of his presidency and the Civil War began to affect him, Lincoln wrestled with the demons of midlife to ultimately emerge as arguably the most self-aware, humble, and confident leader in American history. This metamorphosis from sarcastic young politician to profound statesman uniquely prepared him for the selfless dedication the war years would demand. Whereas his counterpart, Jefferson Davis, became mired in personal power plays, perceived slights, and dramas, Lincoln rose above personal concerns to always place the preservation of the Union first. Lincoln’s ability, along with his eloquence, political savvy, and grasp |

What are 6 ways technology made the Civil War different previous from previous conflicts??
First of all, look at the primary infantry weapon. The rifled musket. The tactics were still Napoleonic, but the musket of the Napoleonic era was less accurate than the rifled musket and had a shorter range. At the ranges of the Napoleonic era musket, figure the rifled musket of the Civil war was killing and injuring twice to three times as many men in a single volley.
Then there is the railroad. It provided a chance to move troops and equipment over long distances faster than marching. While marching was still the primary means of troop movement to and from the battlefield, the railroads allowed large numbers of troops to be moved hundreds of miles in just a few days if need be. But they also allowed freshly trained troops to be moved from their training facilities far from the battlefields to a point nearer to the army where they could then march to join up with the army their unit was being assigned to. Rather than waiting months for reinforcements to an army to arrive, it might only take a few days. Supplies could also be moved quickly to a supply depot near to the army and then carried overland by mule trains.
Railroads also gave the possibility of mobile artillery. Siege mortars could be mounted on rail cars and move into position quicker than it would take otherwise. They could also be removed when no longer needed or when they came under attack. Because the rail car became a mobile artillery platform, there was no need to limber up to a team of horses with, move to where you wanted to move, then unlimber and prepare the gun before you could fire.
Next turn to the water. The H.L. Hunley was not the first submarine used in warfare. In fact the Turtle was an earlier example of a sub used in wafare when it was used unsuccesfully during the American Revolution. But the Hunley became the first sub in history to successfully attack an enemy vessel. And before the Hunley the Union produced the little known sub USS Alligator, which included an air purification system amoung it's inovations.
On the surface of the water you had the ironclads. Ironclads were not knew in the history of warfare, European navies had used ironclads during the Crimeon War. But it was during the ACW that the ironclad really proved the downfall of the age of the wooden warship. Both the North and South heavily used this new type of naval warship, more and more replacing the older wooden ships with them.
Ironclads of the ACW also brought on another innovation seen still on naval ships to this day, the turret. Compare the armament between the two ships taking part in the first engagment in which a turret was used. The USS Monitor only had a pair of 11" Dahlgren smoothbores mounted in the turret vs. the CSS Virginia (former USS Merrimack) having a pair of 7" rifled cannon, a pair of 6" rifled cannon, six 9" Dahlgren smoothbores, and a pair of 12lb howitzers. The Virginia was very much the traditional naval vessel in terms of it's armament being positioned for broadsides. It had to split it's armament in half, putting half on the port and half on the starboard. But the Monitor could get away with a smaller armament because the turret meant it could aim it's armament in any dirrection it might bee needed in, giving her the advantage as she did not need to jockey for position before she could fire on the Virginia.
Next we turn to the war in the air. And yes, there actually was an areial side to the ACW. Both the North and the South used ballons for aerial observation for a brief period during the war. The observation ballon allowed observes to get an idea of enemy troop movements, using telegraph cables linking them with the ground to tell the commanding general what the enemy was doing.
