Using your textbook and other resources (internet, reference materials, etc.) discuss one notable person who contributed to the civil war. Write 2-3 sentences about his/her contributions. If someone else has chosen your person, be sure to write different facts to be shared.
Ulysses s. grant was a major union general.He contributed by wining battles and helping the war effort. He helped in important battles like the battle of vicksburg. So without him helping the war could have been much more difficult.

John Brown greatly contributed to the cicil war. Brown attacked five southerners as known as the massacre of "Bleeding Kansas". John Brown also planned to raid an army arsenal in Harpers Ferry, Virginia on October 16, 1859. In fact, 156 years to the day yesterday, Brown was caught 2 days later. Brown was convicted of treason and hanged.

Robert E. Lee was an important person in the war. He served as a military officer in the U.S. army. He was also a West Point commandant and a legendary general of the confederate army during the Civil War. Lee and his army had many achievements, but sadly he died in Lexington from heart disease on October 12, 1870 #Lucy Adams
ReplyDeleteAbraham had a very important contribution. "Abe won the 'Election of 1812". Although this was a contribution it was also a very important cause of the civil war because the Confederate States of America thought they were in big trouble because the union had the president on there side. Then, they elected their own president who was Jefferson Davis so then they were not in a ton of trouble because they had their own president.

ReplyDeleteHarreit Stowe she was the person that wrote the book Uncle Tom's Cabin and that book was about how slavery was wrong. also to get rid of slavery in the south because north did not have a lot of slavery for the war. a lot of people did not like the book because they thought slavery was awesome but she thought is was bad for the people.

Robert E. Lee was Abraham Lincoln's first choice for the General of the Union Army, but Lee chose to stay loyal to his state Virginia and became the General of the Confederate Army. Robert E. Lee died in 1870 5 years after the war ended.
ReplyDelete~Salter~
Robert E. Lee was born in 1807 to a revolutionary war hero. he trained at west point military academy and during the civil war, he had strong ties and emotions toward the union, and had negative feelings toward slavery. throughout the civil war, he won many battles, however on April 9,1865 he surrendered to general grant at the Appomattox court house. he died and is buried in Virginia.

i am going to talk about john brown.... he spent two and a half years traveling throughout new England raising money to bring his anti slavery war to the south he trained a 21 man army and planned there capture federal arsenal at harpers ferry part of the plan was providing slaves in the area weapons such as rifles and pikes if the plan worked the slave owners would be terrified of the slaves thought brown unfortunately that did not happen he got caught and got hanged so he died of his beliefs which isn't right but thats every thing i know about john brown

ReplyDeleteAbraham Lincoln was very important because he contributed so much! He made the Confederacy angry enough to secede... As a result, the war started and slaves were banned! That is why Lincoln was important.
ReplyDelete~Emma L.
Abraham Lincoln DIDN'T want the south to secede, because after the secession Lincoln said it was illegal. Slavery wasn't abolished after the war started, but the war did start a few months after the secession. Lincoln disliked slavery, but he never abolished it until AFTER the Civil War.

Dred Scott was an important person to the civil war. he was a person that made the north disagree even more with slavery. because people would think him free cause his master died but it turn out he was still slave.

I think Christopher Columbus. You might be thinking him? Yeah him Christopher Columbus. If it wasn't for him we would not have slavery, he was the person that started bringing slaves to America and they were all African Americans and natives like the slaves we know of, if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have any fights and it would all be perfect. Columbus also started selling slaves like they did long ago. Also if you think about it the state rights were mainly about slavery so slavery was the cause to many causes that led to war. Christopher was a very important person that started the main cause of the civil war.
ReplyDeleteRODRIGO
Sorry I did not get to the main point his life. Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in the Republic of Genoa, Italy. He grew up wanting to explore the world. When he was old enough he asked many kingdoms around but none agreed to pay him to find what was on the other side of the pacific ocean.His first voyage into the Atlantic Ocean in 1476 cost him a lot after being approved by Spain after begging for many years. In 1492, Columbus left Spain in the Santa Maria, with the Pinta and thealong side. He has been credited for opening up the Americas to European colonization.Columbus participated in several other expeditions to Africa. He later took 3 more expeditions while he was forcing slaves to find gold for him and any other rare or valuable material.

I think Major General George Pickett was very important. He was very important because he was the one who made the Union win the Battle of Gettysburg. That battle was the turning point of the war. This is what happened. Union Major General George Mead had troops positioned at Cemetery Ridge. Pickett and his troops marched out of covered land and charged across a wide expanse of open field. The Union troops shot them down easily. This is why the Union won the Battle of Gettysburg(the turning point in the war)and this is also why I think that Major General George Pickett was very important in the civil war.
ReplyDelete~Losha
P.S: I've seen the sight of Pickett's charge.
Harriet Bleacher Stowe was a very important person in the civil war because she wrote a famous book. The book was called Uncle Tom's Cabin. The book was about how awful slavery really was.Since she wrote the book people started to realize about how awful slavery really was. This is one of the causes of the civil war because the people who believed in slavery had conflict with the people that thought slavery is terrible. the people who were against slavery were called The Union and the people who thought slavery was good were the Confederacy.The Confederacy believed in having slaves so much that they shot the battle at Fort Sumter.The battle at Fort Sumter was the official start of the Civil war.

Stonewall Jackson had a big impact on the Civil War. He was the confederate general during the civil war. Jackson was the best known confederate commander after Robert E. Lee. May 2, 1863 Confederate pickets accidentally shot him at the battle of Chancellorsville he survived the amputation of his arm but died of Pneumonia eight days later. This was a major set back for the Confederate.

Harriet Tubman-
ReplyDeleteHarriet Tubman was one of the most remarkable women in american history. She was a bondwomen who escaped slavery in the South to be an abolitionist before the civil war. But before she ran away she was whipped many times and hit with a lead weight and that caused her to have narcolepsy for the rest of her life. Even though the narcolepsy caused her trouble her passion to be an abolitionist continued. Later on in her life she lead over 300 slaves through The Underground Railroad.
-Peyton K. :D
I think Harrit Tubman because she was the one to help many slaves survive getting through the Underground Railroad. She was once enslaved but escaped to the North and once she was safe she realized that she should help the other slaves. Remember that she was not the only one who did this but some of the others were caught and been killed or whipped.
ReplyDeleteSeba
ReplyDeleteHarriet Beecher Stowe. Harriet wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. this book changed many lives. Many people were now against slavery. People thought slavery was just the greatest thing in the world. This book showed what slavery really was - cruel punishment because you are African American. This book gave many people a new belief.

A few years ago I read or heard somewhere about some guy named Robert Purvis. I did not recognize him so I “Googled” him. I am writing about him because I think that he has an interesting background.
ReplyDeleteRobert Purvis was an anti-slavery activist, meaning he did not want slavery, mostly because he was a free mixed race man.He was born in Charleston, SC. In 1833, Purvis helped abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison establish the American Anti-Slavery Society Philadelphia, signing its "Declaration of Sentiments," and also the Library Company of Black People.He gave lots of lectures and organized abolitionist groups aimed at helping free blacks' civil rights. Between 1845 and 1850, Purvis served as president of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, and from 1852 to 1857, he was the leader of the General Vigilance Committee which provided direct assistance to runaway slaves.
He was not only against slavery. He also served as the first vice president of the Woman's Suffrage Society, and supported the drive to limit the availability of alcohol. It might just be me, but I think that Robert Purvis should be recognized by more people.

William T. Sherman played a big role in the civil war. One reason is that he was a Union general. Also he was in the battle of Bull Run and Shiloh.

I think it is a bit of Harriet Beecher Stowe because when he wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin it got the slave owners mad because the book told the deep secrets about slavery. Then the northerners found out and most did not believe in slavery so then they then wanted the owners to stop. Slave owners got so mad because they had big land and big cash crop and they thought oh why should we do the "farm". I think it was a bit of Harriet Beecher Stowe who caused the civil war from Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Ulysses S. Grant was very important to the Union during the Civil War. He and his troops won the Battle of Shiloh, which may I remind you of being a bloodier battle than the American Revolution. This was large victory in the Union. In fact, he was so helpful that General Robert E. Lee(one of the best southern generals) surrendered himself and his troops to General Grant!

I think that Fredrick Douglas was important. 1 reason is because he ran away to try to abolish slavery, even though he knew he would be tortured & maybe even killed if he was caught.

I think that Confederate Horace L. Hunley was an important figure that contributed to the Civil War. I think this because he invented a submarine that was intended to sink warships. He named one of his submarines, 'CSS H.L. Hunley'(basically his name) and in February of 1864, he used it to sink the USS Housatonic near the Port of Charleston. But too bad that after the attack, the CSS H.L. Hunley also sank. During the powerful blast that it pushed out, it probably got damaged by the blast. If the submarine was maybe better constructed, this may not have happened. Who knows?
ReplyDelete~Coco L.
P.S. I don't even think Hunley could have better constructed the submarine because back then, weren't they just discovering new materials?

In my opinion Dred Scott was a very important person at the beginning of the civil war. He was a slave that's owner moved to a free state then died. He argued that he was now a free man beacause he lived on free soil. sadly this was turned down. this was still a big hope that slaves had beacause he may be free.

ReplyDeleteUylsses S. Grant was very important to the civil war. He commanded many battles, and yet never died. The Union probably would of lost the war without him(no offense to other Union generals) He was also a president later on in life.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that he exchanged his intials because his initals were H.U.G?
{D}{a}{m}{i}{a}{n} (R)(e)(a)(d)
Stonewall Jackson was also a very important person (VIP) because he commanded and fought in a lot of battles: Great Train Raid of 1861, Battle of Falling Waters, First Battle of Bull Run, Romney Expedition, Jackson's Valley Campaign, First Battle of Kernstown, Battle of Front Royal, First Battle of Winchester, Battle of Port Republic, Battle of Gain's Mill, Battle of Savage's Station, Battle of White Oak Swamp, Battle of Malvern Hill, Battle of Cedar Mountain, First Battle of Rappahannock Station, Second Battle of Bull Run, Battle of Chantilly, Mryland Campaign, Battle of Harper's Ferry, Battle of Antieam, and Battle of Chancellorsville. So, yeah he was in a lot of battles.

I think that Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of the most important people of the civil war because she turned a lot of people against slavery with her book, Uncle Tom's Cabin.

I think a really important person in the war was Winfield Scott, who proposed the Anaconda Plan. He had a lot of trouble making Union commanders think that it was a good idea, but eventually he did. The Anaconda Plan would eventually end the war with (hopefully, but it didn't happen) minimal casualties. It would cut of the south's trade (because they didn't have any factories) of ammunition, gunpowder, guns, etc. from Great Britain and countries like that. Without Winfield Scott, the war either would have taken over twice as long, or the Confederates might have won the war, and then we might still have slaves today and large amounts of racism that wouldn't have been considered racist, and everybody knows that we wouldn't want to live in that kind of world. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

He served as a soldier in the in the War of 1812. He was still a soldier, but was making his way up during the Mexican-American War. During the civil war, he finally became a general and devised the Anaconda Plan. The plan was to blockade southern ports, take control of the Mississippi River to block supplies, and invade the South.

Ulysses S. Grant was an important figure in the Civil War and reconstruction after the war. He was the General of one of the Union armies. Robert E. Lee surrendered to him at Appomattox Courthouse. At the surrender, Grant treated Lee with dignity and allowed Lee's men to keep their horses and arms if they surrendered. This allowed the southern men to go home to their farms and rebuild them. Because he treated Lee and his men with respect, he sent a message that was important to President Lincoln which was that the north and south has to rebuild the nation. This is why Grant was an important person in the Civil War and the period after the Civil War as well.
