- Battle of Antietam
-
- H.L. Hunley
- The South seceded from the United States in December of 1860. The first state to leave was South Carolina and other states in the South followed. This happened because people thought that with the election of President Lincoln, slavery would be banned in the U.S. even though Lincoln was a free-soiler not an abolishionist meaning he wanted to stop the spread of slavery but not abolish it.
- The Anaconda Plan
- The battle of Antietam was a short battle that only lasted a day but that day was the bloodiest in American history. It took place on September 17, 1862 by a creek in Maryland. The Confederates retreated and Lincoln used this victory to issue the Emancipation Proclamation which freed all slaves in the Confederacy.
- Roles of Women in the War
- I'm here to help
- The H.L. Hunley was one of the first successful submarines that was used in The Civil War in 1864. It had a spear-like weapon on the front of it that punctured ships and exploded. The main intention was to attack the Union blockade. After the Hunley attacked it disappeared for years and it was found at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the early 2000's.
- Lincoln's Assassination
- The Anaconda Plan was the Union's plan to win the war. The idea was that they would block off the South's access to supplies by creating a blockade along the coast. The method made it seem like they were strangling the South hence the name Anaconda.
- Women had many roles in the war such as tending to the farm while the men fought but they also worked on the front lines. Women would act as battlefield nurses and they would help tend to the injured or dead after or sometimes even during a battle.
- Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in a theater in Washington, D.C. on APril 14, 1865. The man that killed him was a well known actor named John Booth. He was angry at Lincoln for getting rid of slavery. The president was shot at the theater but didn't actually die until the next day from the wound.
