Civil+War+Questions

Why did you choose the battle you chose? - I choose this battle because This is the battle that started it all. It all meaning the Civil War. Without this battle starting the Civil War I don't know how the war would of started. It probally would of started out with another battle instead of this battle. The Battle of Fort Sumter was a very big deal, which is why I picked this battle. What new information did you learn about the battle? - Some new things I learned about this battle is that The south, Confederates, won the battle. It was the start of the Civil War. This battle had no other names like other battles. The Confederates where the first to fire. Once the first Confederate fired a full- scale war quickly followed. What new information did you learn about the Civil War? - I learned how many people died. On the Union side, 360,000 people died. On the Confederate side, 260,000 people died. I also learned about some events that lead to the Civil War. In 1660 Virginia legalizes slavery. In 1777, Vermont, an American colony and not yet a state, first government entity to abolish slavery. Why was the battle you chose important when looking at the Civil War as a whole? - The Battle at Fort Sumter was important at lokking at the Civil War as a whole because this battle was the battle that started it all. Without this beggining everything, that we today know as the Civil War, probally would of never happened. If the war did happen it would of started off differently most likely. Every one knows this battle as the beggining. How were relationships affected because of individuals fighting in the war(father, son, brother)? - Relationships changed though the Civil War by individuals dying, going off to see other people, or never coming home. Alot of parents woould fight when they were not in front of their children. They would fight behind closed doors. If a family member died it would be hard because another member of the family would have to take over that person's job and do their own at the same time. Why was strategy important in fighting the battle? - It was important because you needed to know where the other team was going to be. You had to kind of get into their heads andsee what they where thinking. You needed to know about these things because if you did you would most likely win that battle. If you didn't know these things then you would probally lose that battle you were fighting. How did this war influence our relationships today with other groups of individuals/ - We got ot know people of different countries. We got ot work with different economies. Not all relationships didn't go so well. So din't go so well in the way that, that country or state didn't want to have anything to do with America. That state of country wanted to start a war with us. What do you think would of been different if the Union had lost the War?Please be specific as possible when answering this question. - Well in the Battle of Fort Sumter the Confederatecy won the battle. So I guess the question I should be answering is what would be different if the Union won this battle? My answer would be, that we would probally still be a divided nation. We would still be fighting in a war like we are now, but this battle would be bigger. Lastly, do you think the Civil War could have been avoided? Why or why not? Use evidence from class, lectures, notes and documents to support yur answer. - Yes because I think that land onwers could of sealttled their differences between slaves and other things between themselves. I don't think they nedded to get all these extra people involved. Like they did. If people didn't like President Lincol should of kept their thoughts to themselves and styart fights. If people kept their thoughts to themselves Lincoln would have a good chance of still being alive. [] []
