 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Content Notes __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Union vs. Confederate leadership – In the early years of the Civil War, it became apparent that the Union Army was beleaguered by poor leadership, whereas the Confederacy boasted some of the greatest military minds in American history. Bringing shame and defeat to the Northern states included such poor leaders as General Ambrose Burnside. Leading the triumphant charge for the South included Generals Robert E. Lee, J.E.B. Stuart, and General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Causes for secession – The exact cause of the Civil War is still debatable, but it is usually narrowed down to a few important factors. The first, and often the most widely held belief as to the cause of the Civil War was the threat of the Northern states to call for the abolition of slavery. This would have greatly hindered the economies of the Southern states which were largely dependent on slave labor. However, the vast majority of white men in the South did not own slaves, and were often undereducated and very poor. It is for this reason that many people argue that it was the North’s encroachment on the South that caused the Southern whites to fight back to defend their rights. Though it was mainly the poor, white Southerners who did most of the fighting for the Confederate Army, the wealthy plantation owners were some of the more vocal advocates for secession from the North.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lee's reason for joining the Confederacy – In the early days of secession, Robert E. Lee remained loyal to the Union, calling the secession of the Southern states “revolution.” However, he asserted that he would only take up arms against the Union if his home state of Virginia were to secede. Inevitably, Virginia seceded from the Union, taking Lee along with it. Lee was immediately given one of the highest commands in the Confederate Army, and would prove to be a formidable adversary for the Union.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Order of secession – In total, the Confederate States of America were made up of 11 states. The Confederacy would later claim other states and territories, including Kentucky and Missouri as being Confederate territory, even though they never formally seceded and remained loyal to the Union. South Carolina was the first to secede on December 20, 1860, beginning the domino effect of secession. Mississippi was the next to follow less than a month later on January 9, 1861. The next day, Florida seceded, followed the day after by Alabama. On January 19th, Georgia seceded, followed by Louisiana a week later on the 26th. Texas would declare secession on February 1st, with an official referendum being on the 23rd. These were the first seven states to secede before the attack on Fort Sumter on April 12th; it’s for this reason that the first official flag of the Confederate States of America featured seven stars. Five days after the attack on Fort Sumter, Virginia seceded, followed by Arkansas on May 6th, Tennessee on the 7th and North Carolina on the 20th.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Attack on Fort Sumter – Fort Sumter, located on the coast of South Carolina, is known today as being the site of the beginning of the Civil War. On April 12, 1861, the fort was attacked by South Carolinian secessionists. This was seen by many as being inevitable since South Carolina seceded from the Union four months earlier.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Certain cultural differences between the Northern and Southern United States can be directly attributed to the Civil War and its outcome.
