Review • With your shoulder partner, name 2 things that were an advantage for the north, and 2 things that were an advantage for the south.
The Confederate Strategy • At first they took a defensive Position. They didn’t want to conquer the north. • The south depended on King Cotton. They controlled the largest cotton supply for Europe. • They cut off their cotton supply to Britain and France hoping it would get them to offer the south help.
The Union Strategy • The north took an offensive strategy. • General Winfield Scott developed the Anaconda Planin order to smother the South’s economy. • This plan required the north to set up a blockade(The north used it’s armed forces to prevent the south from trading any goods) • This plan also meant they had to take control of the Mississippi river. • Many people thought this plan would take too long, so President Lincoln ordered an invasion of Virginia.
Summary 1. Paragraph: • What were the Union and Confederate tactics at the beginning of the American Civil War? • If you were the President of the north or the south what is something you might have done differently? (Keep in mind the advantages you learned about yesterday.) 2. Illustration • Illustrate the tactics of the north or the south on the bottom half of the page.
