In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 5 Topic 8 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 5 (1844-1877).
Once the fighting began at Fort Sumter, both the North and the South had distinct advantages in the Civil War. This means that neither side could claim a sure and swift victory over the other.
The Union (North) leaned heavily on its robust industrial sector, greater population, and naval blockades that eventually split the Confederacy in half. The Confederacy (South) were able to fight a defensive war and relied on King Cotton to draw England and France to their aid, a plan that ultimately failed when Lincoln recast the war in terms of a fight against slavery in the Emancipation Proclamation.
Ultimately the North won and the surrender occurred at the Appomattox Courthouse.
If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.
This video is aligned with the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Exam Description for Unit 5 Topic 8, and all the key concepts thereunto appertaining.

I cannot thank you enough for just the existence of this channel :D This is my first year doing AP, and I was doing pretty badly at first. The coming of the holiday break really put a block in my memory of what we learned about, and you helped me review! Thank you so much for what you do!

[@heimlershistory]

That’s awesome. So glad I could help... Good luck this semester!

Who else is already finishing up Reconstruction

[@Stephen-gi1rx]

The emancipation proclamation also didn't free the slaves in ALL of the Confederacy either. Specifically, it did not free them in those parts of the Confederacy which the North had already retaken when the proclamation was issued. Namely, the state of Tennessee and the city of New Orleans, Louisiana.
As to whether he DID have the authority to do in the border states, that's a debatable issue. One obstacle were the property rights clauses of the 5th amendment. For example, the one which requires that a person could not be deprived of the property without due process of law. One of the reasons such clauses were put in there at all was arguably because of the slavery issue and inhibiting federal powers in relation thereto.

[@generalgrievous3731]

Long, juicy video today :)

[@pranavrb1192]

800th view! Also, love ur videos (especially the ones about the AP Exam!)

[@bobbyayotte3623]

Amazing video and incredibly helpful. Although you said that Grant and Lee met at the Appomattox Courthouse, when they met in a house in a town called 'Appomattox Courthouse'. This a very confusing detail that many get wrong but I thought I would mention it.
Thank you again for all of your amazing details and I hope this comment doesn't come across as obnoxious.

[@SunCityJohnny]

The surrender did occur in a private home owned by the McLean family but the name of the village was Appomattox Court House (two words). In Virginia many of the towns serving as the county seat were called “Court House.”
