The most famous maneuver of the battle was a suicide charge ordered by Lee and under the command of General Pickett. “Pickett’s Charge” resulted in Confederate soldiers being slaughtered in an open field charge into heavy gun and artillery fire. Gettysburg(0:00 to 1:00)

22. Gettysburg Address • In November 1863, Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was another event by which he shaped popular opinion in favor of preserving the Union. The occasion was the dedication of a military cemetery at the Gettysburg battlefield four months after 51,000 people were killed in the battle there. Most of the ceremony was performed by famous orator Edward Everett, who spoke for two hours, as was the manner at that time for an important event. • Then Lincoln rose to speak, starting with his famous words “Four score and seven years ago.” He spoke for just two minutes in what is now considered one of the greatest speeches in the English language. His address helped raise the spirits of northerners who had grown weary of the war and dismayed by southern victories over the larger Union armies. He convinced the people that the United States was one indivisible nation.

23. Vicksburg • May-July 1863––Union Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant laid siege to Vicksburg, Mississippi, because the army that controlled its high ground over a bend in the Mississippi River would control traffic on the whole river. • After a seven-week siege, Grant achieved one of the Union’s major strategic goals: he gained control of the Mississippi River. • Confederate troops and supplies in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas were cut off from the Confederacy. • This Union victory, coupled with the Union victory at Gettysburg, was the turning point of the war.

39. ______ the South Radical Republicans Forgive much of the South Presidential 2 opinions on Reconstruction

40. Radical Republican Reconstruction • This refers to the more laborious process of rejoining the union that Congress required of the former confederate states. • Southern states had to reapply for admission to the Union and to take steps to secure the rights of the newly freed slaves. • This resulted in the creation of southern state governments that included African Americans. • The key feature of the effort to protect the rights of the newly freed slaves was the passage of three constitutional amendments during and after the Civil War.

41. Presidential Reconstruction • refers to the plans laid out by President Abraham Lincoln and carried out by President Andrew Johnson. • This plan echoed the words of Lincoln’s second Inaugural Address, which urged no revenge on former Confederate supporters. • The purpose of Presidential Reconstruction was to readmit the southern states to the Union as quickly as possible. • Republicans in Congress, however, were outraged by the fact that the new southern state governments were passing laws that deprived the newly freed slaves of their rights.

42. Black Codes(1:10) • In the Reconstruction South, there was resistance to racial equality. • All former slave states enacted Black Codes, which were laws written to control the lives of freed slaves in ways slaveholders had formerly controlled the lives of their slaves. • Black Codes deprived voting rights to freed slaves and allowed plantation owners to take advantage of black workers in ways that made it seem slavery had not been abolished.

43. Impeachment of Andrew Johnson • This occurred because President Johnson ignored laws passed by Congress to limit presidential powers. • They passed these laws to stop Johnson from curbing the Radical Republicans’ hostile treatment of former Confederate states and their leaders. • After a three- month trial in the Senate, Johnson missed being convicted by one vote, therefore he was not removed from office merely because he held political opinions unpopular among politicians who had the power to impeach him.
