Advanced American History

Discussion and presentations on the course of the war begins today.  Keep in mind the following elements as context for the battles that begin in June of 1861.


  • Northern Strategy:  3 pronged attack and the Anaconda Plan
  • Leadership strengths:  Northern civilian leadership vs. the effectiveness of Southern military leadership
Finally, we analyzed the first third of the war marked by many key victories for the Confederacy.  Starting with the first Battle of Bull Run, we also examined events like Shiloh, the Clash of the Ironclads, the Peninsular Campaign, Second Bull Run, and Antietam.  

Reminder:  Quiz #2 on Friday
