Reflection: Does the reasoning behind each of these Acts make sense to you? Why or why not? Would you sign on to these Secession Acts if you lived in the state it represents? A: Not, really. It doesn't really make sense to me because, what they say is confusing, like, they want to declare and ordain it, and its breaking the constistution to take people's rights away. And no, because I wouldn't want my state I lived in to be a slave/confederate state, no matter if the economy decreases, and other things, I think it's wrong, even with any situation out there, everyone is equal, just because they're the color black doesn't make them not humans.

Opening Activity on the Civil War: I See: 1. Two men that are sharing cigars. 2. Two men in a picture frame. 3. In different sides. 4. Same last name; Halford. Twins. 5. Different uniforms: left = union right = confederate [ fought eachother, then found eachother ] Both from Maryland = divided = union. It Means: 1. They are good friends. 2. They were important enough to be on the frame. 3. But still the same. 4. Related. 6. Parents = abolisionists.
 * No one could avoid the Civil War [ your life was the Civil War, around the time, felt the impact ]

Images:
 * They were in the Civil war.
 * Their ages were possibly around 4-15
 * Two are in a picture frame.
 * They have different hats so their on different sides.
 * Buttoned shirts.
 * They don't look very happy.
 * Four year old = union = powder monkey = dangerous
 * Ten year old = confederate
 * Twelve = confederate
 * Fifteen = confederate

//**Task**// //Pretend that Massachusetts has seceded for reasons which you disagree (the right of states to determine whether or not to allow slavery). You are asked by the President to uphold the Constitution by commanding the US Army which will re-take Massachusetts by force. Do you accept this job from the President or do you resign and return to Massachusetts to defend it against the US Army? Why?//

//Reflection: Is there anyway to avoid taking a side if you live in the United States during the Civil War? Explain your reasoning// -I would resign and return the Massachusettes to defend it against the US army. I would resign and defend it because If we don't want this to happen, we have the right not to and disagree on it. No there isn't anyway to avoid taking aside because if you refuse to be in the war, you're considered a coward and the people peer pressure you into doing it by saying that. So there isn't really anyway to.

Copy this into your virtual notebook - as we study the Civil War you should refer back to these themes and mark down examples where these conflicts are illustrated and how the people living these conflicts responded. =‍Civil War Themes=

=‍==

TASK: 1. I would have to say that the Unionis much more affected because their plan is to circle them and the confederate is just the defenses. Union = anaconda(?) plan [ offense ] Block the ports- blackade; Cotton diplomacy; selling to British, not selling to North. Confederate = defenses plan; kicking the $h*t out of the Union.

Gatling Gun( importance): Rifles: NOT new but useful. Solid iron cannobals, telegraph, shrapnel [ cut into pieces,so when shooting = shoots everywhere ], ironclads, trains, bullet [ Minie' balls; flies straighter = lead bullet = damage so much ]

Confeds: 1. experience 2.better strategies 3. lack of trained enemy 4. on their home turf 5. defensive war - GW 3rd incommand

Union has to force confederate to rejoin. Confederates needed shoes; they had to invade the North, Robert E. Lee needed shoes for his men [ Gettysburg, PA ] turning __point__.

1863: How do you win the war? soldiers w/ experience.

Support the __Emoncipation Proclamation__:

**1.** Which army had the advantage after the first day of fighting? What were some reasons for their success? Could they have been even more successful? The confederate had more advantage after the first day of fighting. Their sucess was that they planned out because the lack of men the other side had. And yes, they could have. **2.** What was the situation by the evening of July 2? Both armies arrived on the field, making a "j" [ fish hook ] Union forces on the Cemetary Ridge and Confederate forces on the Seminary Ridge. **3.** What evidence from the previous day's fighting brought General Lee to decide on the strategy for Pickett's Charge on July 3? What was the result of that assault? using massed guns, but Union defensive held. The Union lines did not break. **4.** Why did General Lee decide to withdraw from Gettysburg? heavy losses = could no longer continure the battle.

Part B: edward porter alexander: Washington Territory, responsible for artillery fire, preceeding long street assault at gettysburg, commander officer to join confederate, instead of Cali, went to authorization, officer let to go on steam boat. **//Part A: A Soldier's View of Gettysburg// 1.** What part did Elisha Hunt Rhodes play at Gettysburg? **2.** How was he able to justify the suffering endured by the Union troops? **3.** How did he respond to the Union victory? //**Part B: The Call to Duty**// **1.** How did Edward Porter Alexander feel about Georgia's secession? **2.** What option did the U.S. Army provide Alexander to avoid becoming involved in the conflict? **3.** How did he justify his choice? //**Part C: Changes in Loyalty**// **1.** Consider Andrew Baker's vivid descriptions of the valiant behavior exhibited in the chaos of battle. Describe the actions of Captain W. T. Magruder. Speculate on his motivations for fighting in both armies before his death at Gettysburg. **2.** Why did Captain John Moore not give the order to charge? How might you have felt in his place? //**All Parts**// **1.** How does reading these personal accounts compare with reading summaries of Civil War battles in textbooks? Do they make you more aware of the personal suffering of the participants? **2.** What are some disadvantages of relying on personal accounts of historical events?

Explain how Emencipation Proclamation was a strictigic move on the part of Abraham Lincoln and not necessarily a moral move because he felt compassion for the slaves? Be super specific!!! - strictigic because it made slaves free and they'd be soldiers and unions army. EP - Lincoln knows the South won't free the slaves. MD, MO, DE, KY <--- the border states in the Union [ slave states ] [ tricked confederate into freaking out ] Britain - won battle to confederat [ had british join, all up w/ confeds. ] war over states rights. = civil war = slavery.

FIND 2 flaws in Lincoln's plan to Emen. Proclam: [ that could've happened ] one he avoided, hoping to not happen: 1. danger = border states still have slaves. [ abraham lincoln addressed this by holding an election 1863 ] 2. confederates actually gave up slaves. south = fighting to keep slaves north = free them

Maryland = huge problem ^ if suceeded = wouldn't be in america right now. Abraham Lincoln created martial law, threatning citicens in Union = going against constitution = violating [ he knew ] losing D.C = lose union

Importance of __Emoncipation Proclamation:__ things would be a lot different, w/ the states, the people, slaves, etc.
