InputEmancipating the Enslaved

Lincoln was slow to decide on emancipation but finally embraced it as a necessary war measure.

On January 1, 1863, Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation.

The Proclamation freed enslaved people only in areas that were fighting the Union.

InputAfrican Americans Help the Union

African Americans fought for the Union and made other contributions to the war effort.

African American soldiers were not permitted to join the Union army until after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Ultimately, 189,000 African Americans served in the Union army or navy.

Thousands supported the Union in noncombat roles.

They often worked for Union armies as cooks, wagon drivers, and hospital aides.

InputDivisions Over the War

On both sides, pursuit of the war was hampered by disagreements among the people.

Not all northerners supported a war to end slavery.

Not all white southerners supported a war to defend slavery or secession.

InputThe Draft Laws

Both sides found it necessary to draft men into military service.

Between 300,000 and 550,000 Union and Confederate soldiers left their units and went home.

The Confederacy passed a law requiring white men between 18 and 35 to serve for three years. Later changed to 17 and 50.

In the South, a man who held at least 20 enslaved people did not have to serve.

Both sides allowed draftees to hire substitutes.

Northerners could avoid the draft by paying the government $300.

InputThe War and Economic Strains

The war strained the finances of governments and individuals.

To pay the costs of fighting the war, Congress levied the first income tax in American history.

The Union also printed $400 million of paper money to help pay its expenses.

The extra money caused the prices of goods to increase an average of 80% during the war.

InputWomen in the Civil War

The war opened many new opportunities for women, who contributed greatly to the war effort.
