Unit Six: The Civil War
Unit Goals:
-To understand that the North effectively brought to bear its long-term advantages of industrial might and human resources to wage a devastating total war against the South during the Civil War. -To recognize that the war helped organize and modernize northern society, while the South, despite heroic efforts, was economically and socially crushed. -To understand that Lincoln’s skillful political leadership helped keep the crucial Border States in the Union and maintain northern morale, while his effective diplomacy kept Britain and France from aiding the Confederacy. -To be able to explain how the Civil War, begun as a limited struggle over the Union, eventually became a total war to end slavery and transform the nation. -To recognize that after several years of seesaw struggle, the Union armies under Ulysses Grant finally wore down the Southern forces under Robert E. Lee and ended the Confederate bid for independence as well as the institution of slavery. |
