Lincolns Second Inaugural Oath of OfficesophiaNow...The war!

Lincoln and the War Lincoln knew that the Civil War would be over soon and the North would win, but he couldnt predict the duration. The predicted Union win also affected the election of 1864.

He said that all didnt want the war, but it came as a punishment for the nations long slavery life, and its the countrys fault.

sophiaok, but how did the perdicted union win effect the election?Idk, but I think that it showed the Souths vuneralbilitycan you look at the comment for the 2nd to last slide?The Second Inaugural AddressOn March 4th, 1865, Lincoln gave his second inaugural address. In his speech, these are the main points:1. The cause of the war.2. The duration of the war.3. The purpose of the war.4. Recap of the war.5. How slavery was bad in the eyes of God.Hi, I am Lincoln. I am the president!sophia

sophiaThe Cause of the War: SLAVERY Slavery was one of the main causes of the war. The abolishment of slavery was passed by Congress on January 31st of that same year*, just two months earlier. However, The law was not yet adopted until December 6th. Lincoln even states in his speech that it is odd that the cause of the war is gone but the war is still going.*The date that lincoln gives his speechI cant seem to get onto the harkness questions pagesamewhat do we do?kkdjkasjgklGRACE PRINT OUT THE BIBLIOGRAPHY

The Duration of the War:?Lincoln admits to ignorance. He states in his address that he cant estimate how long the war will take.

With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it so ventured.Lincolns GoalsReunite the nation:He was not an abolitionist, but he did think slavery was morally wrong. He needed to keep the Union together.

" If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. ". A. Lincoln.What do you think this quote reveals about Lincoln's priorities?William Tecumseh ShermanUnion General

William Tecumseh ShermanWilliam T. Sherman was a ruthless killer in the fight against the secessionists. Born in Lancaster, Ohio, Sherman believed that war isnt just fought between armies but also between societies that supported each.

He tried banking, the military and worked for the president, but had no success in life.

He had some success when serving under Ulysses S. Grant at Vicksburg and Gettysburg.

Shermans March to the SeaSherman led 62,000 Union soldiers across Georgia from Atlanta to Savannah on his march to the sea. His goal: to demolish Confederate logistics and crush Southern morale.

Shermans March to the Sea November 15 -December 21, 1864 Sherman wanted to terrorize the cities in his path in order to force Confederates to surrender. He destroyed a stretch of 60 miles when marching. He chose Atlanta to Savannah because of the major railroad hub, and the important port city. Shermans March modeled war today, rather than the more civil and almost proper wars that were fought then.

What does this picture symbolize?

Talk with a neighbor, what do you see in this image?

Shermans March to the Sea

Sherman splits army into two wings, which split into more and more wings. One seemed to head to Augusta for a battle, but did not. The other headed toward Macon. They met up again at Milledgeville and split again until they got to Savannah. These confused Confederates because they didnt know where Sherman was going to have a battle at, and the troops were spread all over Georgia.

between 16 and 17 are we going to add slides about growing southern desperation and the inevitability of the war's end?Growing Southern Desperation The Anaconda plan Starvation The burning of crops Shermans March left southerners to live in fear, hunger and ashes. Southerners were always afraid to find a battle around the corner. They knew the Union was going to win but they were desperate for anything. Esp since Sherman started burning and destroying stuff, they constantly live in hunger, fear and ashes. Sherman crushed their morale and economy.Appomattox Intro Ulysses S.
