Document Summary
California: south carolina"s ordinance of secession, 1860, declaration of the confederacy, february. At the front lines: fighting the civil war. Large armies supported by industry and manufacturing -- yes: they also used trenches, total war -- breaks the society, not just the army. Causalities mount: no one expected such a great loss and carnage -- similar to wwi, the union does much better in the west, than in the east. The confederacy: the most precarious and sensitive situation, some free blacks agree to ght for the confederacy in exchange for freedom after the war in the case that the confederacy wins. The civil war, 1861-1865: some escape and join the union forces based in the south, slaves do not work as they did before the war -- there is no more administrative system. France to recognize confederacy as a nation: bloodiest day in american history -- 20,000 dead in a day, union victory!
