general who was extremely meticulous
in his planning for battle. First serving
in the Mexican-American War,

before being sacked by Abraham
Lincoln after failing to capture
Richmond in his Peninsular Campaign.
He held a grudge against Lincoln, and
ran against him for Democraticnominee in the 1864 Presidential
Nominations.
William Henry Seward served as
Senator and Governor of New York as
well as the US Secretary of State under
Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. He
spoke against slavery as a Republican
figure. He was loyal to Lincoln
throughout the war and prevented
foreign intervention. He was also
targeted by the conspirators the same
night Lincoln died, but survived. Healso helped in annexing Alaska.
William Sherman was a general
for the Union, who focused mainly on
the Western Theater of the war. A
great strategist, he participated in
numerous battles including The First

Battle of Fort Henry and Donelson
were both fought in Tennessee on
February 1862. Ulysses S. Grant and
Andrew Foote led the Union to a
decisive victory in the Western Front.
The e f fec t i ve Navy des t royed
Confederate ranks. In Donelson, Grant
surrounded the Fort and eventually
captured all the Confederate soldiers.
The Union continued to win battles inthe Western front.
The Battle of Hampton Roads,
also known as the Battle of Monitor
and Merrimack, was the most
important and memorable naval
battles. It featured two ironclad
warships for the first time. The
prototypical ironclad warships were
copied all around the world. John
Marston of the Union was the senior
officer present. The Battle occurred onMarch 1862 near Virginia and ended
with an indecisive conclusion.
The Battle of Cold Harbor was
fought from May 31 to June 12, 1864.

African Americans were given the
choice to fight for the Union, and thus
fight for their own independence of all
blacks. Although generally put together
and segregated, they still fought hard
and obeyed the commanders.
Women were especially valuable to
the Union Army. Many women such as
Clara Barton were out at the battlefield
to retrieve injured men and providemedication. While most women
provided medication or took over a
mans job in the house, some
part ic ipated in the bat t lefield
themselves.
Spies were prized, as they
del i vere d in fo rm at io n o f the
Confederate Army. Spies such as
Lafayette Baker and Allan Pinkerton
worked undercover for Abraham
Lincoln.

CAMP LIFE
Union soldiers suffered in army camps in
many diverse ways. They were plagued with
disease, deaths, boredom, and fear. The
camps were damp and strictly regulated
into fixed patterns. Drills were routinely
practiced. Water and other vitalities such as
food were often in low demand. The Union,
however, was in better shape than the
Confederates, that did not have enough
coffee for the soldiers. Soldiers played cards
and wrote letters back to loved ones about
the sorrow they feel on the battle ground.
Despite regulations, alcohol, gambling, and
prostitution was also rampant in the camps.
Although a soldier
by profession, I have
never felt any sort of
fondness for war, and
I have never
advocated it, exceptas a means of peace.

LIFE ON THE HOME FRONT
Civilians back at home suffered along with
the soldiers in the Civil War. Women had to
often fill in for the men in jobs such as
tending the farms, taking care of children,
managing the house, and continuing
business operations. Some women joined
the army, disguised as men such as Mary
Livermore and Sarah Edmonds Seelye.
Railiroads, homes, and entire towns were
decimated by the war. Many civilians had to
flee from their home town with their
belongings. The Northern civilians were in
better position than the South, as riots
broke out over inflation and the high price
of food. The Norths economy stayed strong
amidst the war.

The North was not a majorbattlefield for the Civil War, so the effects on
the civilians was not vast. Economy actually
thrived after the war due to the continuation of
industry and manufacturing companies.
Casualty number was high, but the sacrifice of
individuals led to a greater achievement for the
nation as a whole. African Americans were
granted freedom and the right to vote. African
churches were established. A tragic also struck,
as John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham
Lincoln at Ford Theater. The conspirators
loathed the abolition movement. They were
hanged in Washington D.C. The Union
essentially won the battle against the South,
and therefore enforced the abolition of slaves.
The wooden mill and meat-packaging industry
prospered greatly.

Reconstruction was viewed as something vital to reunite the union and strengthenthe economy of the United States as a whole. However, president Lincoln, Andrew
Johnson, and Congress all had different ideas. After Congress took over Andrew Johnson,
they decided to partially punish the South by placing federal troops in the area. They also
believed in giving blacks freedom to vote and general liberty protected under the
Constitution. Reconstruction was generally successful, as the South was
brought back into the Union and plans were made to boost their economy.
The South suffered from cotton being valued less, so plans were
accommodated to reconstruct railroads and industry. The main goal, which
was to grant blacks freedom, was accomplished.
