3. The Civil War (1861-1865)
Who’s In and Who’s Out?
•The Border States of Missouri,
Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware
stayed with the Union (some more
by force than choice)
•Because of this, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Virginia and North Carolina
all joined the Confederacy
•Lincoln issued a call for troops in
response to Fort Sumter’s surrender
4. The Civil War (1861-1865)
Missouri and Kentucky
•Protected Union farmland to the North
•They helped control the MS and OH Rivers
The Border States
The Border States were Slave States
but Lincoln needed them too much
Maryland
•w/o it, DC would be surrounded by the CSA
Delaware
•Protects the ports of Philadelphia
8. Union Advantages
The Union had larger population
More troops means the Union can
withstand more casualties and
overcome poor military leadership
The Union had more industry
This means more weapons
and ammunition
Abraham Lincoln
Like him or not, the Union
couldn’t have won
without his leadership.
9. Confederate Advantages
The CSA had a cause
Much like our Revolution, the
people were fighting to be free
from an oppressive government
Military Leadership
The South had more trained
officers and more trained troops
who had just finished fighting
against Mexican troops
Plus, the CSA had “home field advantage”

11. #1 Blockade the Confederate Coastline
This keeps the troop movement slow
and keeps the South from exporting
cotton
The Civil War (1861-1865)
Union war plan – Anaconda Plan
Plan proposed by Winfield Scott
13. #2 Control the Mississippi River
This cuts off the “West”
from the rest of the CSA
The Civil War (1861-1865)
Union war plan
#3 Capture Richmond – CSA capital
14. It was a simple one-part plan
Fight a “defensive” war. Make it difficult
enough for the Union to take them back, the
Union would simply get tired of fighting and
recognize the CSA as a new nation.
They also hoped to bring in Britain and France
as allies, but that’s an aside!

Confederate war plan
Besides, they didn’t have the troop
numbers to go on the “offensive.”
