Confederate States of America

As the US Civil War unfolded, cotton plantations had spread from South Carolina. The movement from this state took a westward and southern direction with Georgia, northern Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas becoming large cotton plantation states.

Their main aim was to affirm and preserve their independence and drive the union soldiers out of their territory.

Jefferson Davis was the president of the Confederate States of America. Davis' cabinet members included Benjamin Judah, Alexander Stephens, James Mallory, Robert Toombs, and Robert Turner, among others.

The eleven Confederate states that fought for the independence of the Confederate States of America were the following:Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Louisiana.

Question 1

I and most people think that the Civil War was inevitable because the South's way of life was different from the North. The south was based off farming and supplying the world with cotton for clothes and cotton gin. The farmers would buy more land to grow more cotton and more slaves to tend those fields. The north was mostly factories and manufactured goods.

The people of the south feared that they would be overrun economically by the Union. It soon became evident that the South was loosing hold on their part of the government, something that became clear when the abolition of slavery came around.

As abolitonists fought with slavery proponets in border states there was more pressure for a resolution of some kind, then the war started. I don't think that slavery would have just dwindled away over time because the people who owned slaves would make more money, then buy more land, then buy more slaves to work that land. Less people would own slaves but the people who did own slaves would have huge plantations with hundreds of slaves. The war was not over the issue of slavery was not the cause of the war but I think it was one of the largest factors that stated the war.

The war was over secession from the union which Lincoln called it a Rebellion. But, we must remember that Lincoln didn't start the war. It was the people in South Carolina who first fired upon Fort Sumter. Lincoln had to deal with the southern take over of the military fort. He did not have a choice of not fighting back at that point. The attack on Fort Sumter was their declaration of Independence from the Union.

Captain Henry Wirz was the commanding officer of Camp Sumter, the Confederate prisoner of war camp located near Andersonville, Georgia. While commanding this camp, Union prisoners were subject to extreme overcrowding, starvation, little or no protection from the elements and mistreatment at the hands of the guards. Wirz was arrested by federal authorities in May 1865 and charged with conspiracy to impair the lives of Union prisoners of war. He was convicted of the conspiracy charge and 11 of 13 murder charges. He received a death sentence. Wirz asked President Johnson to grant him clemency, but he never received a reply. He was hanged on November 10, 1865. He was the only prisoner of war camp official hanged for such crimes.

The CSS Alabama was commissioned on August 24, 1862. It was built by Great Britain and was disguised as a supply ship while in British waters. It became a deadly Southern warship.

Luckily for the South the iron plates needed to fit the new CSS Virginia into an ironclad were fairly close to the Norfolk navy base. The plates were manufactured by the Tredegar Iron works in Richmond, Virginia.

The principal cause of the Confederate States of America was its desire to maintain its independence as a separate political entity apart from the Northern states or United States. Intially, secession from the US was prompted by differing beliefs in regards to tariffs or taxes on imported goods and the expansion of slavery in the western territories, however, the military invasion of the seceded states by the US prompted four more states to secede and join the Confederacy.

He died of Yellow Fever on August 30, 1879 in New Orleans.

No, Jefferson Davis's father, while not terribly wealthy, was a landowner and was able to send his son to Transylvania University in Kentucky and then to the United States Military Academy at West Point.

The president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, opposed the secession of the lower South from the Union and maintained that the US government would enforce the collection of tariffs on imported goods even in the seceded states. The original seceded states, which formed the Confederate States of America, opposed Lincoln's attempt to land US troops at several forts in those states which resulted in war and the secession of four more states.

The Confederate States of America was formed Februaury 8, 1861 by 7 southern slave states, followed by an additional 4.

Certainly more than one Confederate general wanted to continue the war after Lee's surrender. Jefferson Davis also wanted to continue the war. The problem was that in April of 1865, the Confederate supply organization still provided the essentials for continued fighting however, it could have not continued much longer.All the essential main line railroads were broken, and the last four remaining ports of Charleston, Wilmington, Savannah and Mobile were closed down.

The one possible chance of sending a raid from the Army of Tennessee into the North had dim prospects.

Two months after Jefferson Davis was elected, the Confederacy fired on Fort Sumter which was the event that precipitated the War Between the States.

On April 9, 1862, Confederate President Jefferson Davis requested the Confederate Senate to pass the first conscription laws. This action troubled the a number of states with strong states rights views.

Confederate Provisional President Jefferson Davis created the first Confederate army in March of 1861. He called for 100,000 men to serve for twelve months. The army's name was the Provisional Army of the Confederate States. Davis named its first office, Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard to the position of brigadier general. He was a USMA graduate.

South America is a continent. There are several Countries in South America.

the overarching difference is that the US Constitution delegates the majority of the power to a central government, whereas the Confederacy believed firmly in states' rights and thus gave states the majority of the power
