Ch. 20: Girding For War: The North and The South: Theme: The North Effectively Brought To Bear Its Long-Term

The document summarizes the political, military, and economic challenges faced by the Union and Confederacy during the American Civil War. Lincoln's skilled leadership helped keep border states in the Union and maintain northern support. The Union effectively mobilized its industrial and population advantages to wage total war against the South. Despite heroic Confederate efforts, the South's economy and society were crushed as the blockade cut off trade and the Union adopted emancipation and enlisted black troops. The Union raised funds through tariffs, income taxes, issuing greenbacks and bonds, while the Confederacy struggled with its reliance on King Cotton and was forced to use increasingly worthless paper money.
