It led to the end of the Civil War by forcing the industrial might of the north to be aligned against the seccessionists.  It was the provocation needed to bring the south back into the union fold.  Without Sumter, the seccession would've continued for a longer period than the four or five years that it did.\n\nYah, i get the 10 points, everyone else commented how it started the war, and not how it led to the end of the war.

Fort Sumnter did surrender.....after the bombardment.\n\n\nDon't guess it was ever really Lincoln's decision, with the blockade and all, he had no way to communicate with the fort.

i think both, they had a great impact on wich side to take but i hve more feeling to thr revoloutionay war becaues that was the start of our country. the civil war was a war about taxes and thins like that, salvery came after the fact. it was to keep lincon presdent bucause that was the only thing he could have thought of. but the rev war was the satr of a new nation that broke away from one of the lagest navy and won its indepndance. i have more to say because i think of them later for some reason you can email me back for further questions: arcturus010@yahoo.com

Yes, if Lincoln wouldn't have re-inforced Ft. Sumter.  The fort was being turned over to the Confederacy before he did that.  The North could have withdrawn.  Pre-Civil War the Constitution was concidered a Social Compact.  The South had some legitament reasons for leaving.  The Missouri Comprimise was not a comprimise, making the South feel more threatened.  \n\nDuring the Presidential Campaign Lincoln was the only talking about Civil War.  If the South wanted Civil War it would have start a few years earlier when John Brown tried to take over that armory in Virgina

Let us all remember that we have never had a Natural Disaster of these porportions before.  People not evacuating when they were told to is a big part of the problem.  People will need to go home to New Orleans to rebuild they can not do it from the different states they have landed in.  Many do not plan to return, yet they have left homes behind.  In order to rebuild you have to demolish what is there, without owners being involved it may take some time before the demolition can happen.  Two things should have been learned from this disaster and that is the Government always needs to be ready for something of the porportions that they have never seen.  Also that responsible citizens should have left with the first notice's of evacuation.  You have a City that was built below the level of the sea on the sea and you were waiting for this kind of thing to happen. Experts knew that the dykes and retaining walls would not stand up to more than a category 3 storm and the citizens knew it as well, people just choose not to believe it would actually happen to them, which is natural in these circumstances, but not the best choices to make.  There may have been the most impoverished people in this country living in New Orleans, yet they should have had enough notice to get out and not choose to stay there.  It was the lack of people leaving the area that caused the police and National Guard to have to stay there to try to keep order when those effeorts could have been directed to other places.  There still has to be major decisions as to what the new New Orleans will be.  Is it going to be the city of almost a half a million or will it be a remnant of it's former self.  Until we know what we are rebuilding there can be no blaming the government because it isn't done.  Yes we had poor government response, but we also had poor cooperation from the citizens at the sametime.  The government will always bear the brunt of the blame for this, however it should be up to the citizens of New Orleans where we go from here and not the rest of the country.\n\nAs some things never change Mardi Gras is going on as usual, if you want to help the economy of their city this would be the time to go there and help their economy.

The last battle was fought between the forces of General Washington with the aid of General Rochembeau against the British General Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, South Carolina.\n\nFollowing the battle, Cornwallis's second in command surrendered his sword to Washington's second in command as Cornwallis was too much a coward to do it himself. The British band was playing the tune "The World Turned Upside Down."\n\nThe war officially ended with the Treaty of Paris.

The South had been launching an offensive into Northern territory, with the eventual goal to taking Washington D.C. (Back then, when you took the capital, you could win the war ... a pity it's not like that anymore). At Gettysburg, the Southern Army was defeated and it was forced to push back towards Confederate territory. It began the process by which the North began hammering the South into submission in the war.

I don't know if it was the government's plot to reduce the black population but it sure did work.  When Katrina hit; the American Government showed their butts by not helping out the American People.  They did anything in their power not to help by delaying the trailers and the transportation.  Katrina showed us as an American of what our government is all about when it comes to disaster in an black population.

Greetings,\n\nThere are no pictures of the South leaving, because they didn't go anywhere.\n\nThe southern states that formed the confederacy remained where they were, and their inhabitants, for the most part, remained where they were as well.  There was no mass migration, rather an expuslsion of everyone loyal to the Union and a seizure of everything formally belonging to the Union.\n\nThere aren't many photographs of the early part of the Civil War because photography was still in it's infancy.  There are many lithographs of the time though.  Lithographs are an artists interpretation rather than a photo.\n\n-matt

Description: In May and June of 1863, Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s armies converged on Vicksburg, investing the city and entrapping a Confederate army under Lt. Gen. John Pemberton. On July 4, Vicksburg surrendered after prolonged siege operations. This was the culmination of one of the most brilliant military campaigns of the war. With the loss of Pemberton’s army and this vital stronghold on the Mississippi, the Confederacy was effectively split in half. Grant's successes in the West boosted his reputation, leading ultimately to his appointment as General-in-Chief of the Union armies. \n\nResult(s): Union victory

The South would have won and seceded. It's impossible to know for sure.

Presidential Reconstruction\n\na. the South was the main battleground of the Civil War\n\n  I.The War’s Aftermath\n\na. war had destroyed property, cities, men, morale, etc.\naa. 2/3 of southern shipping and 9,000 miles of railroad destroyed\nab. 1 out of every 5 white men in the South had been killed\nb. farmers and other poor whites returned home to find their farms in ruins, their livestock dead, no jobs available, and no way to make a living\nc. plantation owners lost slave labor worth about $3 billion\nca. many lost their plantations and all of their money\nd. newly freed slaves had to provide for their needs for the first time in their lives\nda. this was difficult in the South’s wrecked economy and climate of racial discrimination\ne. Federal government’s effort to repair the south and restore southern states to the Union was known as Reconstruction\nf. two issues lay at the heart of Reconstruction:\n1. the future of political & economic power for freed slaves\n2. the future of North-South political and economic relations\n\n  II.Two Reconstruction Plans\n\nLincoln’s Plan\na. Prodigal Son Plan/Ten Percent Plan\naa. tone of forgiveness\n1. offered a pardon to any Confederate who would take an oath of allegiance to the Union & accept federal policy on slavery\n2. denied pardons to Confederates who had killed black war prisoners\n3. allowed each state to hold a constitutional convention only after 10% of the voters who voted in 1860 had sworn allegiance to the Union\n4. states could then hold elections and resume full participation in the Union\nb. Radical Republicans in Congress saw Lincoln’s plan as a threat to their authority\nba. wanted to punish the south\nbb. offered their own plan called the Wade-Davis Bill\nbc. required southern states to repudiate Confederate debt\nbd. required ex-Confederates to take an oath of loyalty\nJohnson’s Plan\na. Andrew Johnson somewhat followed Lincoln’s plan\n1. pardoned southerners who swore allegiance to the Union\n2. allowed each state to hold a constitutional convention\n3. states were required to void secession, abolish slavery, and ratify the 13th Amendment\n4. states could then hold elections and resume full participation in the Union\nb. Johnson’s plan made it possible for former high ranking Confederate officials to hold positions of power in reconstructed southern governments\n\nIII.The Taste of Freedom\n\na. to help the black southerners, Congress created the Freedmen’s Bureau\nb. gave out clothing, medical supplies, and meals to black and white war refugees\nc. built schools and helped provide education for freedmen\n\n\nChapter 13 Section 2 [p.p. 385-390]  Congressional Reconstruction\n\n  I.Black Codes\n\na. southern legislatures passed laws restricting the rights of blacks\nb. North saw black codes as evidence the South sought to keep freedmen in a legally inferior and economically dependent status\n\n II.Turning Point: Fourteenth Amendment\n\na. Radical Republicans in Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 outlawing black codes and giving black men “full and equal benefit of all laws”\naa. Pres. Johnson saw the Civil Rights Act of 1866 as an instrument to provoke racial disharmony\nab. Johnson vetoed it\nb. Radical Republicans began to take over Reconstruction\nc. June 1866, Congress passed 14th Amendment\nca. gave citizenship to blacks\n\nIII.Radical Reconstruction\n\na. moderate and radical Republicans began to form an alliance against Johnson after his vetoes of the Civil Rights Act and the Freedmen’s Bureau bill\nb. Radical Republicans like Charles Sumner believed the Confed. states had ceased to exist as states and must be treated as conquered territory\nc. Congress passed Reconstruction Act of 1867\nca. divided the South into 5 districts\ncb. placed the South under military rule\ncc. ordered southern states to create new constitutions\ncd. gave blacks in the South the right to vote (universal manhood suffrage)\nce. temporarily prohibi

It was well with in their rights to leave, the North kept making the South feel more isolated with the Missouri Comprimise.  It just came to the point that the States believed that they didn't have a choice.  \n\nWould I have voted for succession then no, but what I know about how strong the National Government became after the Civil War, a person has got to wonder what would have happened if the South would have won\n\nMost historians disaggree that slavery was the cause of the war.  Especially if you factor in that the underground railroad had to go all the way up to Canada (If the North really cared about slavery it would have ended at the Mason-Dixon Line) and the Draft riots in New York.\n\nThe Civil War never became about slavery until the Emansipation Prclamation.

I think you are probably right, that the outcome will be a defeat. The US government has forgotten what it took to win the peace after WWII.\n\nPresident Truman authorized the Marshall plan that rebuilt Europe and has ultimately led to the European Economic  Union. In the conquered countries, like Germany, the allied powers contracted the best possible civil servants and military officials for 5 year tours to establish civilian rule. They instituted effective martial law until the new German government was ready to take over. The German army troops were detained and retrained. War criminals were tried and justice was seen to be done.   \n\n\nUS forces are in an unwinnable position. Rumsfeld and Rice have no coherent plan on how to put Iraq back together. The military is fighting a holding action with no specified goal. The civilian government is in a war zone with no resources. \n\nThe peace will only be won if the US realizes that it takes more than money and troops to establish a working country with a workable constitution. \n\nI would say that if the Iraqi "insurgents" were being arrested and handed over to a criminal justice system then the peace has been won. Until then, with no civil direction, Iraq is going to bleed the US.
