We still start our DBQ on Gettysburg tomorrow. I will put a few video's to help you understand Pickets Charge!!

# data[].attributes.body
Does anyone have any questions about anything?

# data[].attributes.body
yes he wanted to be in charge of everything and even started giving commands to the army when he used the telegraph

# data[].attributes.body
Yes Lincoln took his job as commander and chief very seriously !!

# data[].attributes.body
the government (lincoln) took over the north rail lines

# data[].attributes.body
9,500 in south and 22,000 in north

# data[].attributes.body
How many miles of track did the North have? the South?

# data[].attributes.body
Who took over the Northern rail lines?

# data[].attributes.body
they were still cut off from trade

# data[].attributes.body
they didn't have as much track

# data[].attributes.body
Why didn't the South have much success with utilizing the railroad?

# data[].attributes.body
telegraph because they could communicate better and faster

# data[].attributes.body
the telegraph because it was so much faster to communicate, also the advancement of railroads because they could move much faster and easier

# data[].attributes.body
i think it was the telgraph

# data[].attributes.body
telegraph

# data[].attributes.body
What do you think was the best technological advancement?

# data[].attributes.body
no they tried to out flank each other

# data[].attributes.body
they still used the old tactics in a line like they always had done

# data[].attributes.body
What I mean is did the Armies use new methods? or did they still fight in a line out in the open?

# data[].attributes.body
their was in general a lot more casualties

# data[].attributes.body
yes because they could kill more people in a shorter amount of time with more accuracy and it was faster to reload

# data[].attributes.body
With the new guns and bullets did they change the way they were fighting?

# data[].attributes.body
total war was at the end mainly ruined land..

# data[].attributes.body
*guns

# data[].attributes.body
total war?

# data[].attributes.body
the new bullets and guna

# data[].attributes.body
What war tactic Made this war so deadly?

# data[].attributes.body
North had  to take over all the south not just Richmond ...South just had to defend. Like us in our REV War..

# data[].attributes.body
the south just had to defend themselves

# data[].attributes.body
they didn't have it easier because they were being turned on by the south and were trying to keep the country together

# data[].attributes.body
they also wanted to have slavery

# data[].attributes.body
The north had to abolish slavery which was very difficult

# data[].attributes.body
They had access to rail roads

# data[].attributes.body
The North did not have it easier why?

# data[].attributes.body
they wanted to defend their territory

# data[].attributes.body
the south just wanted to be their own

# data[].attributes.body
no.. South did not want to conquer the North

# data[].attributes.body
the south had to capture the north's capital

# data[].attributes.body
ok... But what about the South

# data[].attributes.body
and the south had to do the same to the North

# data[].attributes.body
The north had it easier because they had access to the rail road for transporting goods and soldiers

# data[].attributes.body
the north had to take the capital of the confederacy, which was richmond

# data[].attributes.body
What did the South have to do to win the War? The North? who had the easier Job?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes He was who Lincoln wanted to head up the North. The Generals on Both sides of this battles were very good friends. and as someone said they do lose al ot of good officers on both sides

# data[].attributes.body
yes they did respect him

# data[].attributes.body
yes Lee was a very respected man

# data[].attributes.body
yes, he was respected by everyone

# data[].attributes.body
cautious

# data[].attributes.body
yes, because he had found under the United States before the confederacy

# data[].attributes.body
But Lee's army was in worse shape.. The union did not know this.. Mead was carious,, Let Lee leave. Did the Northern Generals respect Lee?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes !! Ethan

# data[].attributes.body
The Battle of Gettysburg left both the Confederacy and the Union with about 1/3 of their troops and a bunch of their generals dead.

# data[].attributes.body
The southerners were probably disappointed with what lee did during Gettysburg

# data[].attributes.body
This would have been considered an invasion of the South

# data[].attributes.body
he didn't go after him because he didn't think he would be able to stop him?

# data[].attributes.body
My Question is why did General Mead not go after Lee when he went to leave Gettysburg?

# data[].attributes.body
he was their best general, would show a sign of defeat

# data[].attributes.body
Jefferson Davis

# data[].attributes.body
The War could have ended is Mead who was in Charge of the Union  would not have let Lee leave. Why did he not go after him? The War will go on for two more years?

# data[].attributes.body
yeah!

# data[].attributes.body
Robert E Lee who was in Charge of the Army of the Potomac thought they were invincible, He blamed himself and even offered to resign after the battle.

# data[].attributes.body
it would go against their plan of defending their land

# data[].attributes.body
the south was trying to invade the north, and they weren't prepared for a full-on battle.

# data[].attributes.body
this would in a sense be a pledge of full on war, and possibly give way to a southern invasion by the north?

# data[].attributes.body
because they knew they weren't prepared but if they didn't fight they would lose the battle

# data[].attributes.body
They knew that it would be the turning point of the war?

# data[].attributes.body
they went ahead because they had to fight back or they would lose

# data[].attributes.body
they weren't prepared for it?

# data[].attributes.body
The Southern Generals were against the attack ... can anyone think why ?? and why did they go ahead if they were against it?

# data[].attributes.body
it allowed them to travel faster and get to fight quicker, as well as making it easier to transfer extra troops and supplies

# data[].attributes.body
resources could travel faster and more troops could come in?

# data[].attributes.body
the union could transport supplies and troops faster than in the south

# data[].attributes.body
they could move much faster and get more supplies and not worry about walking

# data[].attributes.body
travel fast

# data[].attributes.body
it made the North able to get supplies to their troops faster

# data[].attributes.body
it allowed a fast way to transport troops and amunition.

# data[].attributes.body
they could travel fast, communicate, and get more goods

# data[].attributes.body
it allowed them to transport items and weapongs faster

# data[].attributes.body
How was the railroad an advantage to the North?

# data[].attributes.body
yes logan..

# data[].attributes.body
the opposite army wouldn't suspect that someone was flying over them in a hot air balloon so it was the perfect way to spy.

# data[].attributes.body
yes AVA

# data[].attributes.body
finding opposing armies to know where they would attack next

# data[].attributes.body
spying?

# data[].attributes.body
dropping leaflets/messages?

# data[].attributes.body
bombing?

# data[].attributes.body
spying?

# data[].attributes.body
The Hot air balloon was used in the war.. anyone want to guess what for?

# data[].attributes.body
it meant that everyone had to fight differently than they had in the past

# data[].attributes.body
the minie bullet could also travel a much greater distance

# data[].attributes.body
the minie bullet was able to kill a person with one shot which then led to more deaths

# data[].attributes.body
the telegraph and the railroads gave the north a big advantage, while the minie bullet resulted in more deaths.

# data[].attributes.body
the guns were more accurate and you could relay messages faster

# data[].attributes.body
It led to more deaths

# data[].attributes.body
Actually someone was concerned about it . Tomorrow I will show you Pickets Charge on the last day, The South will March two miles in an open Field.  Who do you think thought maybe that was not a good idea.?

# data[].attributes.body
how did this change war?

# data[].attributes.body
minie bullet

# data[].attributes.body
minie balls

# data[].attributes.body
and the telepgraph and bullet

# data[].attributes.body
The minie bullet
