20.500.12556/DKUM-21732 KLJUČNE BITKE V AMERIŠKI DRŽAVLJANSKI VOJNI KEY BATTLES OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR Ameriška državljanska vojna je bila daleč najbolj krvava vojna med koncem napoleonskih vojn in začetkom prve svetovne vojne. V tej vojni so Združene države Amerike imele največ izgub v zgodovini. V vojni je izgubilo življenje več ameriških vojakov kot v vseh ostalih v 20. stoletju od prve svetovne vojne do vietnamske vojne skupaj. Vojna je predstavljala vojaški konflikt v letih od 1861 do 1865 med severnimi državami (Unija) in med južnimi državami, ki so se odcepile od Unije in 4. 2. 1861 ustvarile Konfederativne države Amerike (Konfederacijo). Na jugu je vojna znana kot vojna med državami in tudi kot vojna upora (kot so jo uradno poimenovali v Uniji), vojna odcepitve in vojna južne neodvisnosti. Ime državljanska vojna je najbolj priznano, čeprav je velikokrat kritizirano kot nenatančno. Ime državljanska vojna je zavajajoč, ker to ni bil razredni boj, ampak sekcijski, ki je imel korenine v političnih, ekonomskih, socialnih in psiholoških elementih, ki so tako zapleteni, da se zgodovinarji še danes ne strinjajo o osnovnih vzrokih vojne. V vojni je prišlo do več kot 10 000 vojaških spopadov različnih velikosti. V največjih in najpomembnejših bitkah, ki jih po pregledu ustrezne literature in elektronskih virov obravnavamo v diplomskem delu, so se na začetku oficirji in vojaki Konfederacije izkazali za sposobnejše in bolj srčne, vendar je na koncu prevladala ekonomska in številčna premoč Unije, ki je z zmago osvobodila tudi sužnje, katerih problem je bil eden izmed glavnih vzrokov vojne. Seveda gredo zasluge za zmago tudi generalom in vojakom Unije, vendar njihova dejanja niso bila odločilna, saj so bili konfederalisti prav tako sposobni. Zadevo najbolje opiše ocena vojne enega izmed Virginijcev, ki pravi: »Nikoli nas niso premagali, gospod, razen če jih je bilo štirikrat več. Če bi imeli kakršnekoli pravične možnosti, ali pa manjšo razliko v številu, bi morali zmagati in vzpostaviti našo neodvisnost.« American Civil War was by far the bloodiest war between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War. In this war the United States had the most losses in history. The war has killed more American soldiers than any other in the 20th Century from the First World War to the Vietnam War combined. The war is the military conflict in the years from 1861 to 1865 between the Northern states (the Union) and the Southern states that seceded from the Union and have created Confederate States of America (the Confederacy). In the South the war was known as the War Between the States and also as a War of Resistance (as it was officially called in the Union), the War of Southern Secession and the War of Independence. The name Civil War is the most recognized, though often criticized as being inaccurate. The name Civil War is misleading because it was not a class struggle, but sectional, which had its roots in political, economic, social and psychological elements that are so complex, that historians still disagree on the basic causes of war. The war had more than 10 000 military conflicts in various sizes. In the biggest and most important battles of the Civil War, which we discuss in the thesis, after we reviewed relevant literature and electronic resources, at the beginning, officers and soldiers of the Confederacy proved to be more capable and also showed more heart, but the economical and numerical superiority of the Union ultimately prevailed and it's victory freed the slaves, who were one of the main causes of the war. Of course the credit for the victory of the Union goes to generals and soldiers too, but their actions were not decisive, because the Confederates were just as capable. The matter is best described with the words of one of the Virginians that say: "Never did they beat us, sir, unless there were four times as many. If we had any fair chance, or a smaller difference in numbers, we should have won and gotten our independence."
