Text II (Questions 18-22)

More out of necessity than inclination, Abraham Lincoln became one of the most active Presidents in American history, directly influencing and managing events in every field of operations during the American Civil War. Never before had a president been able to communicate his desires to far-off commanders as quickly as Lincoln was. He could do this because of recent inventions that speeded communication, most notably the telegraph. 5 Lincoln's active managerial style was most prominent in 1863. At the beginning of that year, the Union army, which represented the North, was ready on all fronts to take the offensive. In the West, its forces were preparing to move down the Mississippi River to capture Vicksburg, Miss., the last major port along that river not already in Union hands. When this was done, the Confederacy would be cut in two. In Tennessee, a Union force had 10 fought the Confederates to a draw at Stones River and was preparing to push them out of middle and eastern Tennessee. In the East, after suffering many defeats in 1862, Union forces had a new commander and were preparing to take the war deeper into Virginia.
