Document Summary
Lecture 9: 1864-65: the hard hand of war: the gettysburg address. The tide turns: the north captured gettysburg and vicksburg, and lee retreated to the south and never again would attack the north. Their morale was low because they lost the mississippi and didn"t have much left to fight for. For the remainder, the south went back to camp life. In the north, war production increased, forces mobilized, cities were thriving. A time to heal: lincoln delivers the gettysburg address (november 19, 1863). Short address; lincoln viewed it is a failure; and so did britain. 1864, was an incredibly painful, violent, and worst part of the civil war. The mastermind behind total war: william tecumseh sherman (1820 1891). Went to westpoint, served in mexican war, then took a profession in banking. The bank collapsed in 1857, and worked as an attorney in kansas.
