From Shmoop History/The Civil War

1. Lincoln was a strong president. His original goal was for a strong federal government and for slavery to NOT expand. The goal shifted to be about freeing the slaves later in teh war.

2. During the Civil War, Grant was the only Union general who could equal southern general Robert E. Lee.

3. War led to the dislocation of American society on an unprecedented scale.
Women bore the brunt of the home-front hardships. Many were forced to manage small farms themselves. Women made bandages from lint, nursed wounded men back to health, and worried about their loved ones on the fighting front. In the Midwest, thousands of women did the best they could to keep their lives together while men were away, and all dreaded the fateful telegrams with the lists of the dead.
