    This first entry into the book showcases the side of the southern Confederate armies, who were comparing the Civil War to the Revolutionary War. They saw their enemies, the Northern Yankees, as nothing more than tyrants trying to oppress the south. Just as the British had done to the colonists a century and a half ago. This gave them a "holy cause of southern freedom", a reason to step into the shoes of their famed forefathers and once again fight for their liberties and constitutional rights.…

In this paper I will be talking about the Union’s battle tactics. Both of the sides had two different Generals. On the Confederate side you had General Lee and on the Union side you had General Grant. General Grant was innovative on both a strategic and operational level.

    It is a common belief among many historians that history is told through the eyes of the winners. Read any American history book or any world history textbook and they mainly tell you about the hero that saved the nation such as Wellington at Waterloo or General Washington in the Revolutionary War or General Patton in World War II. The case of the American Civil War is no different, especially for a man who changed the war. Ask anybody in the south, even the kindergartners and they will tell you about William Tecumseh Sherman, the man who burned everything. Ask anyone in the North and they’ll tell you how Sherman and Grant together helped the North win the war. General William Tecumseh Sherman constantly said that he disliked war yet when his time came in the Civil War he rose up from a man who was dubbed crazy to become a man who changed war into a concept of total war and would go on to become one of…

    Sherman’s attitude to the Confederate forces was a key aspect in the result of a Union Victory. Sherman admired the Southern forces and wrote in a letter to his wife in 1864, describing the Confederate forces. “The devils seem to have a determination that cannot but be admired. No amount of poverty or adversity seems to shake their faith.” Sherman’s view on the Southern spirit would play a significant role in the way Sherman attempted to overcome these forces. Sherman’s subsequent actions after his letter to his wife accentuated his belief that severe measures were necessary to break the dogged Confederate resistance.…

    In the first few years of the Civil War, there was a consensus in the Union that the war was being fought over the Confederacy’s claims to protection of slave property and the power states’ rights over the federal government. Originally, the war was not fought for the emancipation of African-American slaves in the South. Major Benjamin Butler of the Union army was unsure of the status of fugitive slaves he encountered in the South and he asked the secretary of war if Union forces have the right to liberate these people [A]. Additionally, Major Butler realized that these African-American men, women, and children could potentially be helpful in the Union’s war effort [A]. Over time, President Lincoln and the Union recognized the aid that African…

    In the beginning, the southerner’s morale was fueled by the hatred they had. The hatred they had toward the north was because of the fact that the south was not being properly represented in Congress and they did not have a voice in national affairs. As had been noted, this hatred was the inspiration the southerners needed to fight a long, drawn-out war with the Union because it gave them the morale they needed. Over the course of the war, the CSA’s morale decreased because soldiers was forgetting the motive they were even fighting for and they yearned to return to their families. In addition to this, the morale also decreased because of the North’s victories trampled over the south throughout the progression of the…
