(CO#5)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Lower South states repudiated the election of 1860 by seceding. In doing so they explained their actions in published ordinances and declarations. Over early 1861, the last few attempts at compromise worked their way through Congress, ultimately failing to stave off the inevitable conflict. Likewise, President Abraham Lincoln attempted during his inaugural address to downplay the controversy as a way of providing room for reconciliation. Once war began, both sides had to reconsider their initial plans and adjust their tactics. The war was not yet a total war in terms of goals or methods (such as economic and popular mobilization) but was fast becoming so.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of 1862, the Civil War had transformed from a quick war to secure independence or to suppress a rebellion (depending on whether you were in the United States or the Confederacy) into a four year conflict that killed more than 600,000 people (2% of the total population). Despite the Confederacy\u2019s military efforts, by the end of 1863 Union forces had gained the upper hand.<\/p>\n<p>In this discussion you will consider\u00a0the arguments for and against secession and the reason for the Confederacy\u2019s loss and the Union\u2019s victory. Both sides brought with them advantages and disadvantages which they respectively sought to exploit or to minimize. Ultimately, though, the United States prevailed.<\/p>\n<p>In preparation for our discussion be sure to read the Modules Notes, Chapter 14: \u201c<u>The Civil War\u00a0(Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.<\/u>\u201d in <em>The American Yawp<\/em>, and view <u>Most Hallowed Ground\u00a0(Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.<\/u>.
