Stonewall Jackson

Hornets Nest

Click on a hyperlink to view the corresponding slide.

Before the war General Thomas Stonewall Jackson was


an instructor at the Virginia Military Institute. In 1859 he
commanded a contingent of V.M.I. cadets serving as
guards at John Browns execution.

As the Union troops were driven back to the Tennessee River,


they established a line along an area known as the Sunken
Road. The Union forces withstood 12 attacks against this
position. The area became known as the Hornets Nest
because of the intensity of the gunfire and the grazing of
bullets. Southern troops organized 62 artillery pieces to fire on
the Hornets Nest, the largest concentration of artillery yet
assembled in the war. The shells splintered trees and boulders.
An Iowa lieutenant said that it was a mighty hurricane
sweeping everything before it. After six hours, 2,200 Union
soldiers surrendered.

The Monitor The Swedish-born inventor John Ericsson


invented the Monitor. He built this first entirely iron
ship in 101 days. The Monitor contained 47 patented
devices. It housed 2 guns to the Merrimacks 10, but
they were mounted on
a revolving turret.

Science The single most-important invention used by


McClellans army was an inch-long slug that expanded
into the barrels rifled grooves and spun at great speed
from the muzzle. The spin allowed the ball to travel
farther and more accurately than musket balls fired from
smooth-barreled weapons. The ball was accurate at 250
yards (229 m), five times as far as any other one-person
weapon.

Heavy death tolls in battle led Civil War soldiers to devise


the first dog tags for identification. Soldiers printed their
names and addresses on handkerchiefs or paper, which
they pinned to their clothing before going into battle.

African Americans Even when African Americans were


finally allowed to become Union soldiers, they were not
immediately allowed into combat. At first, African
American units were used as labor battalions and supply
troops.

Some women disguised themselves as men and enlisted


in the Confederate and Union armies. Jennie Hodgers, for
example, signed on with an Illinois regiment as Albert
Cashier.

Civil War Terms

Click on a hyperlink to view the corresponding slide.

Burnsides Sideburns are named for the Union


commander Ambrose E. Burnside. His distinctive
muttonchop whiskers inspired a fashion, which became
known as burnsides. Within 10 years the
2 syllables had been transposed.

Civil War Terms The Civil War was the first war in
which strictly military terms were passed into wider
usage. Many of these terms still used in common speech
today are K.P. (kitchen police), AWOL (absent without
leave), pup tents (originally known as dog tents),
grapevine (medium for transmission of rumors), and
shoddy (uniforms poorly made from recycled woolen
fibers known as shoddy, which came to denote any article
of inferior quality).

The extreme left flank of the Union lines at Gettysburga hill


called Little Round Topwas commanded by Colonel Joshua
Lawrence Chamberlain, a college professor who had taken a
leave from teaching to fight in the war. Chamberlain knew
that if the Confederates took Little Round Top, they would
have a view of the whole Union line. Although greatly
outnumbered, Chamberlains forces withstood numerous
attacks. Finally, Chamberlain led his troops in a bayonet
charge that drove the Confederates from the hill. Chamberlain
received the Medal of Honor for his bravery at Gettysburg.

Chattanooga

General Sherman

Click on a hyperlink to view the corresponding slide.

Chattanooga Taking Chattanooga was important


to the Union. Chattanooga guarded the gateway
to the eastern Confederacy and the Southern war
industries in Georgia. From this city the Confederate
army could mount expeditions into Tennessee and
Kentucky. The Union could use the city to mount raids
into Georgia and further divide the South.

General Sherman Civil War historian Shelby Foote said


of Sherman: [He] was maybe the first truly modern
general. He was the first one to understand that civilians
were the backers-up of things and that if you went against
civilians, youd deprive the army of what kept it going.

Taking Notes
Why Learn This Skill?

One of the best ways to remember something is to write it


down. Taking noteswriting down information in a brief
and orderly formnot only helps you remember, but it
also makes your studying easier.

This feature can be found on page 484 of your textbook.

Taking Notes
Learning the Skill
There are several styles of note taking, but all explain and put
information in a logical order. When you are taking notes, it will
help to keep in mind the following guidelines:
Identify the subject and write it at the top of the page.
In your text, for example, look at the chapter title, section title,
and other headings.

mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information.

Taking Notes
Learning the Skill
Select specific information for your notes. For example,
anything your teacher writes on the chalkboard or shows you
from a transparency should be included. If your teacher
emphasizes a point or spends a large amount of time on a topic,
this is also a clue to its importance.
Paraphrase the information. That means putting the information
in your own words rather than trying to take it down word for
word. Doing so helps you think about what the speaker or writer
means.

Taking Notes
Learning the Skill
To save time, you might want to develop different strategies.
One way is to create a personal shorthand. For example, use
symbols, arrows, or rough drawings: + for and. Practice
your shorthand in all of your classes.
Write legible and neat notes so that you will be able to
understand them when you read them again.

Taking Notes
Practicing the Skill
Review the guidelines for taking notes. Then read Section
5, entitled The Way to Victory, on pages 485491 of your
textbook. After you have carefully read the section, follow
the guidelines and create shorthand notes for the subsection entitled
The Tide of War Turns, which begins on page 486 of your
textbook.
