Girding for War: The North and the South, 1861 - 1865
- Identify the significance of the Border
States to both the North and the South, and examine how they influenced decisions
of the Union and the Confederacy.
- Focus on the ordinary soldiers, North
and South. Point out the differences (for example, in supplies) as well as
the similarities in the experiences of Billy Yank and Johnny Reb.
- Discuss different interpretations of the
Civil War. Point out how its meaning has varied according to changes in North-South
and black-white relations.
- Focus on the might-have-beens
that could have resulted in a Confederate victory. Specifically examine the
need for the South to secure foreign intervention. If the South had been able
to quickly realize the failure of King Cotton, what could it have done instead
to procure foreign recognition and/or intervention?
- Discuss the effects of the Civil War on
the homefront, North and South, including ways the war affected
women.
