Plants are not the only things that grow from rootsso do words!
For example, lets start with the root, scope, meaning look at or examine.
Other roots or word parts can be added to this root to grow new words.
Often, when a word ends with a root, an e or a y is added at the end, as in the
words telephone and euphony. This added letter doesnt change the actual
meaning of the word. It is used to complete the word.
Some roots can stand on their own as a word. An example of this is the root
meter, which means measure. By adding beginnings (prefixes) or endings
(suffixes) to roots, you form different wordswith different meanings!
In the words below, we have used the prefix peri- and the roots micro, scope,
and tele to form words.
Activity A
Draw a line from each word to the picture which shows its meaning.

Lesson 55
Civil War Turning Point: July 1863

A. Gettysburg
1
General Joseph Hooker, the general Abraham
Lincoln appointed to lead the Unions military after
General Burnside, did not last long following the
Unions defeat at Fredericksburg in December
1862. 2By the spring of 1863, Lincoln again had
to find a new Union general to lead the Army of
the Potomac after Hooker suffered a huge defeat
at Chancellorsville, Virginia. 3Robert E. Lee
and Stonewall Jackson humiliated (crushed) the
North despite having half as many soldiers in the
battle. 4Unfortunately for the Confederate States
of America, Jackson was accidentally shot and
killed by his own sentries as he returned from the
victorious field of battle.
5
General Lee then decided the South needed
to take advantage of its momentum. 6He marched
his 75,000 troops out of Virginia and crossed into
the northern state of Pennsylvania in June of
1863. 7If the South could capture Washington,
D.C. or Philadelphia, perhaps they could negotiate
for independence for the Confederate States of
America. 8Heading into Pennsylvania along the
western hills of the Appalachian
Mountains, Lee targeted a
small, but critical, transportation
junction called Gettysburg.
9
Lees rebel army needed
supplies. 10Gettysburg had
a shoe factory and Lee was
desperate to supply his men
with new boots.
Gen. Robert E. Lee
11
As Lee invaded the
North, Lincoln replaced Hooker with General
George Meade. 12With 90,000 men, Meade met
the Confederate troops at Gettysburg and engaged
in a critical three-day battle. 13Luckily for Meade,
the Union was able to dig in on a high point of land
called Cemetery Ridge which gave them an edge
in battle. 14On the first day of the fight, the Union
was able to defend attacks at the north end of the
ridge. 15On the second day, Lieutenant Joshua
Chamberlain defended the south end of the ridge
on a hill called Little Round Top. 16On the third day,
Lee sent 15,000 rebel troops under the command
of General George Pickett right at the center of the
Union defenses. 17Picketts Charge was a disaster
for the South. 18Union troops killed, wounded, or
captured over half of the rebels who charged up to
attack Cemetery Ridge.
On July 4th, a defeated Lee retreated south

back into Virginia and never again tried to invade
the North. 20More than one-third (25,000) of his
army had been lost at Gettysburg. 21Seventeen of
his generals had been killed. 22Meades army, too,
had taken a toll. 23In fact, between the two armies,
over 51,000 men had been killed or wounded in
the fight. 24If Meade had pursued and defeated
Lee on the 4th, the war may have ended that day,
but Meade, only recently promoted, was cautious
and also reeling from the battle. 25Almost one
quarter of his army suffered casualties. 26Meade
did not chase Lees army and remained on
Cemetery Ridge.

B. Vicksburg
27
Just as Lee was retreating from Gettysburg,
the South lost another crucial battle on the
Mississippi River. 28Vicksburg, Mississippi, was
a town on a high bluff overlooking the river.
29
Southern artillery placed on the bluffs controlled
all water traffic below. 30In May of 1863, Union
47
Gr. 8-12+
General Ulysses Grant surrounded the town for

six weeks, preventing supplies from reaching
Vicksburg. 31Southern soldiers and citizens there
nearly starved and were forced to eat mules, shoe
leather, and even rats. 32By July 4th, the rebels had
suffered enough. 33The 30,000 surviving soldiers
surrendered to Grant on the nations birthday.
34This victory at Vicksburg was critical to
the North. 35Vicksburg was the last remaining
block to Union control of the entire Mississippi
River. 36Union troops and supplies could now be
transported along the entire length of the river from
Memphis to New Orleans. 37In addition, the North
had driven a wedge through the Confederacy.
38
Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas were now cut off
from the eastern part of the Confederate States
of America. 39Together, the Union victories at
Gettysburg and Vicksburg on July 4, 1863, are
considered the turning points of the war in the
Unions favor.
Everett, a former senator and president of Harvard,

spoke for over two hours. 48Lincoln followed with
a two-minute speech of only ten sentences now
known as the Gettysburg Address.
49Lincoln understood the significance of the
fact that Gettysburg had been secured on July
4. 50He started the address with a reminder that
87 years earlier the Declaration of Independence
said that all men are created equal. 51The
battle of Gettysburg, he said, was a new birth
of freedom. 52The Civil War was really a fight
for human equality. 53It was also, Lincoln said,
a fight to see whether or not people could rule
themselves in a democracy.
54Lincolns speech was so short that many
people in the audience did not realize he had even
given it. 55There was little applause. 56Lincoln
thought it a failure, but after the speech was printed
in newspapers, people realized how great it was.
57
Edward Everett himself told the president, I wish
that I could flatter myself that I had come as near
to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as
you did in two minutes. 58Lincolns speech helped
inspire Union soldiers to continue to fight and to win
the war.

C. Gettysburg Address
40It took some time to bury the thousands of
soldiers who had died at Gettysburg. 41The old
burial ground on Cemetery Ridge had to be greatly
expanded. 42Many of the soldiers were
unidentifiable. 43Long rows of tombs marked
unknown lined the new graveyard. 44Local
townspeople wanted the place to be dedicated as
a national cemetery and, in the fall of 1863, invited
the most popular speaker of the day, Edward
Everett, to give the main speech. 45About two
weeks before the cemetery dedication, organizers
also decided to invite President Abraham Lincoln
to the ceremony. 46They asked him to give a few
appropriate remarks. 47On November 19th, 1863,

Clue 1 states that the curly-haired

boy had more than fteen points,
so he had 25. In Clue 2, if Lee had
made her last shot, she would have
scored twelve points, which means
that Lee is one of the two girls.
Since the clue says if, that means
she didnt make her last shot and
only scored 10. Clue 3 states that
Tim scored fewer points than the
curly-haired boy and girl. Since Lee
scored 10, Tim scored 12 points
and the curly-haired girl scored 15.
So Lee is the straight-haired girl.

cat has seven fewer spots than the
oldest cat. The youngest is the cat
with two spots and is three years
old. The oldest cat, with 9 spots, is
eleven years old. Clue 2 states that
the striped cat and the oldest cat are
one year apart, so the striped cat is
ten years old. That means that the

Best evidence sentence(s): 1
100 feet blue
80 feet fin
50 feet gray
60 feet right
55 feet sei
EXPLANATION: Clue # 1 tells
you the right whale must be 60,
as that number is the only one
that is 5 longer; the sei whale
must be 55; and the gray whale
must be 50, as the only numbers
that work with the clue. Clue # 2
tells you the blue whale must be
100, as that is the only number
that is twice as large as another
number in the chart; and that
means the fin whale must be 80
feet, as it is the only number left.

The Battle of Gettysburg
stopped Lees invasion of the
North. It also inflicted great
damage to the South as 1/3
of Lees men were killed in
battle. Lincolns eventual
Gettysburg Address stirred
Northerners to continue
fighting for their cause. At
Vicksburg, Grant captured
over 30,000 CSA soldiers.
Most importantly, the victory
gave the North complete
control of the Mississippi
River. This allowed the
North to ship supplies the
length of the river. It also
divided Arkansas, Texas, and
Louisiana from the rest of the
Confederacy
