Technology and War

Using the notes you created for section 2 of Chapter 11 - make a list of all the new weapons / technology utilized by troops during the Civil War and explain:

1) What purpose the new technology served 2) How it changed the way war was fought 3) The importance of this weapon to the overall picture of the Civil War

Can new, better technology take the place of experienced quality soldiers? Why or why not?

The new techonlogy served as a turning point of weapons (guns), medicine, and transportation between 2 areas. The new weaponry allowed a new way to bring the onslaught on the enemy team, such as the brilliant Gatling Gun, built and invented during the Civil War to help bring the hurt to the Confederancy or the Union. The Gatling Gun offered a much higher rate of fire and portability, so it was the favorable gun to be used to clear away the enemy troops.

New technology, no matter how new, cannot be used properly without the aid and experience of trained soldiers, therefore it is never a good swap, (between experienced soldiers and new technology. Put 2 and 2 together, or soldiers (with experience) and new technology together, and its a winning formula, but have one or the other, will cause some confusion.

The Emancipation Proclamation was a good thing because: The South gained their freedom There were no longer slaves and traded like property. Slavery was abolished and ended the slave trade routes over the Atlantic Ocean. Set in motion a new doctrine of "separate but equal" measures in the nation.

DO NOW 6/10/11 (most likely wrong) The Emancipation Proclaimation's first priority was to free the slaves, and Britain was highly against slavery and if we still have slavery, we would make another enemy with Britain. Britain will no longer ally with Confederates. EP: Lincoln knows the South won't free the slaves. "Tricked Confederates into freaking out" The Confederates were fighting for slavery not states rights. Issues/Flaws with the Emancipation Proclaimation 1) Issues with land ownership/territory 2) Jobs, the South only knew how to do jobs based on the things they had done before.

Potential Flaws 1) Confeds actually gave up slavery 2) Border States still had slaves Lincoln - MARTIAL LAW - Unconstitutional The Emancipation Proclaimation was important because it abolished slavery without provoking the Border States to seceed and break away from the Union
