Financing the war

Lee fights for Virginia not Lincoln when offered to be general.

Other generals in the south then follow lee.
The north had a lot more resources but they did really bad in the beginning.
Border states have a mixed economy.
Lincon and others have to make sure Mayland does not succeed as this would put Capital of US into
confederacy.
Lincoln will then suspend rigt of heibius Corupus which allows him to arrest people without them knowing
why they were arrested.
It was the rich mens war but the poor mens fight as the poor were many and the only ones willing to fight.
Emancipation will put notheners on board.
It makes European powers to not get involved in the war
The procomation will be the first time an executive order will be used

What the union did when the confederates left was that they passed amendments and laws that they wanted
without the need for Southern Aproval
Homested Act- gives anybody 140 acres of land to go settle and live on the plains and do it for 5-7 years and
make the land better.
Legal Tender Act- gives us paper money
Morrill Land Grant Act- goes to developing univertities and tech things in the plains
Pacific railway act- gives subcidies to companies to product the pacific railroad
National Bank Act- ensured a federal system to regulate currency
Vicksburg- last hold out on the missisipi, so when the union captures it, they have it, the anaconda plan wors.
The draft will frist recruit irish and german people which ensures thy get citizenship. Cash bonuses will also
be given.
Sherman goes makes sure civillians cant rebuild
Victory at Atlanta ensures lincolns reellection
The final virginia campaign-
Lee and grant fight and meet where lee surrenders to grant at Appomattox courthouse
