Bull Run● July 21, 1861
● Northerners reasons for the march to Bull Run
● Wanted to get to Richmond
● Southerners heard about it from a traitor
Bull Run● People thought that it would not be bloody
● Union was winning in the beginning
● There were tons of people after the war who
were injured or dead
Northern and Southern Strategies● North was free states
● South was enslaved
● Lincoln only enforced the abolishment of slavery in the Northern states
● Lincoln’s strategy ( writing the Emancipation Proclamation) was more effective because it got political voices involved.
● January first, 1863. On this date, any state/part of state that hadn’t finished or accomplished their rebellion with the union would have slaves freed.
● This angered Southerners and Democrats. But made anti- slavery forces excited and energized.
Battle of Antietam● Antietam was fought in Sharpsburg, Maryland near Antietam
Creek on September 17, 1862
● Part of the “Maryland Campaign”
● Antietam was the bloodiest single day in the Civil War, with a combined dead, wounded, and missing at 22,717
● The Union Army of Potomac fought the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia
● Fighting did not continue the next day and Lee retreated across the Potomac along with his men
Effects of the Battle● The battle of Antietam was crucial and sometimes
considered a turning point in the war
● It provided the Union with a victory it needed
● Five days after the battle, Sept. 22 1862, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation
Role of the Border States
● Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware
● They were bitterly divided about secession
● Were not eager to leave the Union
● Virginia had decided to be Confederates
● Part of Virginia broke off ~ West Virginia
● Kentucky proclaimed itself neutral, citizens were equally balanced
● Missouri Constitutional Convention~ Union state, did not fight the south
● Missouri in 1861 became a Confederate State
● Delaware was a Union state, but didn’t want war
● Maryland chose to be a Union State
Border States (continued)
The Border States
The Emancipation Proclamation~ “That all mankind should be free”● Lincoln didn’t want the border states to get mad at the union and
secessed out of the union. So he didn’t abolish slavery in those states.
● Now, Lincoln was not necessarily an abolitionist, but he did not like slavery as a thought.
● Abraham Lincoln accepted slavery though, meaning he let the slaves do what they needed to do and didn’t get in the way of them.
● He personally thought that slavery would die a “natural death” and would just go away over time.
