- they were all very formal and political, while still packing a punch into the debate-stricken issue - they all blankly stateed they no longer follow the constitution.
 * __Similarities Between The 13 Succeeding States:__**

- some were very long, and some were straight to the point. - one of them had a whole declaration of independance from the United States.
 * __Differences Between The 13 Succeeding States:__**

__**APPARTS FOR TWO STATES THAT SUCCEEDED_ OUT OF 13.**__ North Carolina- A- The People of North Carolina P- convention at the city of Raleigh,May 20,1861 P- I didnt know this state has succeeded. A- The people of the United States of America, and the president. R- they no longer wish to follow the constitution, saving their resource for mass production. T- South Carolina states annouce they no longer wish to be a part of the Union. S- this State was one of many that broke away from the Union.

Georgia- A- The People of Georgia P- January 19, 1861. P- Georgia was a slave state A- The People of the United States of America and the president R- They no longer felt the need to be held down by debates and rules. T- Georgia broke away from the Union. S- this is one of the many states that did so, threatening the Union's economy.


 * __reflection__**: Th Reasoning behind this does make sense because the states that did succeed chose valid reasons such as main source of production and boosting economy, which i can understand. and even though i do not agree with slavery, the debates over slaver were starting to give me a headache and i wasn't even there, so i can imagine all of the political members in senate who were pro-slavery.

__**I See/ It Means**__ __**I see**__: Two men holding cigars in each other's mouths. one man is bearded the othere one is not. they both have their hands on their chest. they both have different uniforms.

maybe they are friends or are related. their differences are defined. maybe they are mimicing the other, because it looks like symmetry. they both are from different units of something.
 * __It Means__**:

I think these two men are showing that in their union, they are equal, but also individuals because they mimic each other but have different features to their individual sides of the picture.

the boys in this picture are very young. they seem very aware that they are in an area of violence, because they show little to know emotion. they are all in uniform
 * __I See:__**

-Picture 1: this boy looks like he is 12, or 13. -Picture 2: this boy seems like he is 15 or 16. -Picture 3: this boy seems like he is 10 or 11. -Picture 4: this boy looks like he is 17 or 18. these men all looklike they are in the army, and they are incredibly young they all show no facial emotion. they all look like they may have different jobs in the army. they all seem like their thought on war vary, because some poses are more glorified than others.
 * __Similarity__**:
 * __Difference__**:

__**Robert E. Lee task**__ i think that i would go against the army because i want to choose the same road as my peers, so we can fight for what we believe in, and i wouldnt want to let my people down.

The confederacy had an offencive strategy, which they used to take over union supplies, forts, and other things. however, the Union used an invcasive strategy by luring and overwelming them. i think the evaasive strategy the union had was more effective because they took the confederate army to places that made the confederate army vulnerable.

- i think new technology for military use isnt good because

Union- offense- Union used gun factories to make money> sell guns to south> keep north economy high After Factories couldnt sell products, they went into army

Ulysees S. Grant was the ONLY general that would use the union's best tactic- sending unexperienced soldiers to die, and kill as much of the confederate as they can.

Block off all ports- blockade- anaconda plan >cotton democracy> hurt the south directly (economical) > could not buy military arms> military fails.

Confederacy- defense- kicking the crap out of the Union. Lee- second in class @ West Point- Military Academy> 2nd in class 1st- Jackson

Technology- Gatling Gun: killed a whole line of men, with its amazing RPM, when the Union sent out the Newbs also known as the bait, to get the confederate army to come towards the gatling gun. Rifles- NOT new, but useful. telegraph shrapnel- put a cannon ball together, but cut up peices and put gunpowder in it so in mid air, it would explode. iron clad- not used because it is TOO hot.

Who were the winners of the civil war in 1863: Confeds -Experience -better strategies -lack of trained enemy -on their home turf -Defensive -Union has to force Confeds to rejoin Confedds just had to defend themselves.

Cut off all of their resources so they surrender.

Do Now:

The Emancipation Proclomation was strategic because Abraham Lincoln made it EVEN though the south is a different country, and they will not free their slaves. this meant they all changed the reason for succession from state's rights to slavery, which meant the confederacy lost all outside allies.

The south could have setted for this.

Enacipation Proclimation was very important because it tricked the confederacy into saying that they dont to free their slaves, making thev war about slaves and not about states rights. this plan, however, had two major flaws: one, is that he did not know if the confederacy vwould give up the slaves or not. and two: he was violating the constitution by threatening the people of the Union with slaves if they say anything. He did this to protect the Union, which meant the Emacipation Proclimation has brought the whole world to attention to the fact that the confederacy is going against the rest of the world's values.
