15 minutes - Finish & submit Civil War Pickers assignment (via Schoology or shared through Google)
Turning Points in the War:
Battles of Gettysburg & Vicksburg (1863)
Video Clips - Reviewing battle plans, outcomes, and victories
What is the significance of the Battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg?
1. After the battle of Vicksburg, the Union was able to control the entire Mississippi River. That gave them no only control over the western transportation route, but it also cut off a major supply route for the Confederacy.
2. Grant's victory at Vicksburg convinces Lincoln he is the man for the job and becomes the General of all Union troops.
3. The Battle of Gettysburg was the most bloody battle with the highest death toll over the course of it's three days. It was Lee's (Confederacy) attempt to invade the North, and after two days of fair success, the Union came back to brutally defeat them on the third day. The loss was devastating for the Confederacy.
4. After the carnage at Gettysburg, Lincoln is asked to speak at the dedication of a cemetery to honor the fallen in November. HIs speech, perhaps one of the most famous Presidential speeches ever given, is still quoted and honored over 150 years later.
