The Border States• Seven left the Union to join the Confederacy• Four remained: Kentucky, Maryland,
Delaware, Missouri• Each had strategic locations for the North, but
were slave states and teetered towards secession
• Missouri=controlled parts of Mississippi River• Kentucky=controlled Ohio River• Maryland=Washington D.C., U.S. government
at risk, close to Richmond• Delaware=close to Philadelphia

Lincoln is Cautious• If Lincoln aims to end slavery, border states
will secede• If he ordered Northern troops into border
states, they might secede
• Result of caution:– Border states stayed in the Union– Many border states’ population joined armies in
the South

Northern Disadvantages
• Trying to bring Southern states back into the Union (#1 goal)
• Have to invade the South(an unknown territory), occupy the territory, and subdue a population of millions to win the war
• Not as much people support as the South
![Page 12: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Southern Advantages
•Fighting in familiar territory•Military leadership superior•Strong support from the people
![Page 13: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Southern Disadvantages
• Smaller population of free men• Possessed few factories to manufacture
weapons + supplies• Produced half as much food as the North• Difficulty in delivering food, weapons, and
supplies due to lack of railway
![Page 14: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Main Northern Goal• Bring Southern states back into the
Union• Later on in the war, ending slavery
also becomes a major goal
![Page 16: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Main Southern Goal
• To win recognition as an independent nation– This would allow them to preserve their
traditional way of life (slavery)
![Page 17: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Northern Strategy
• 1. Blockade Southern ports – to prevent supplies from reaching the South and
from the South earning money through exporting cotton
• 2. Gain control of the Mississippi River – to cut Southern supply lines and to divide the
Confederacy• 3. Take control of Richmond, Virginia
– The Confederate capital
Confederacy
Mississippi River (Union)

Southern Strategy• Offensive strategy:
– Moved armies northward to threaten Washington, D.C.
• *Main* Defensive strategy:– Hold onto as much territory as possible
until the North tired of fighting– Thought Britain and France would help
them out since they bought large quantities of cotton
![Page 19: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

battle that the war would be a long, difficult struggle.
• Main Idea 2: The North set up a blockade along the South’s coastline, which caused serious problems for the South.
• Main Idea 3: The action shifted to the West after the first Battle of Bull Run as each side recognized its forces.
• Main Idea 4: Battles continued and after several Southern victories, Lincoln removed General McClellan for his failure to act in these battles.

A Shock for the North• Union was flabbergasted about the retreat• Lincoln recruits volunteers for the army• Hires a new general: George McClellan
![Page 33: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
War at Sea
• Lincoln ordered a naval blockade of Southern ports• Imports in short supply during the war due to blockade:
coffee, shoes, nails, salt, guns, ammunition
• Monitor versus Merrimack– Rebels rebuild the abandoned Yankee warship the
Merrimack with iron plates, renamed it Virginia– Rebels retaliate by sending their new ironclad Monitor to
engage Virginia in battle– Neither ship sank, but Yankee’s Monitor was able to keep
the Merrimack/ Virginia in Northern harbor so they could not do any damage to Northern ships

Early Victories for the North• Ulysses S. Grant captures Confederate’s Fort
Henry on Tennessee River. • Then, he captures Fort Donelson• Nickname became “Unconditional Surrender”
Grant because that is what he told the Confederates the terms were
• Union gains access to lower Tennessee River and a path for troops to march through into the South.

Battle of Shiloh• Confederates launch a surprise attack on
Union in Mississippi• Battle lasted two days, but some of the
bloodiest fighting in all of the war– Day 1: Rebels drive Yankees back to Ten. River– Day 2: Union fight back and push back to Miss.
*20,000 casualties on both sides
*Union almost have control of Mississippi River

New Orleans Falls• Union captures New Orleans--South’s
largest city– Rebels could no longer use the river to carry
its goods to sea– Gives Yankees control of almost all the
Mississippi River
![Page 41: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
McClellan Hesitates• Expert in reorganizing and drilling an army• Too cautious and worried that his troops
weren’t ready so he hesitated to initiate battle• Lincoln directs McClellan to take Richmond,
but McClellan sneaks around enemy sizing up their strength
• “You must act,” Lincoln ordered him. He didn’t.
• This gave Rebels time to defend Richmond.
![Page 42: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Finally, when McClellan does fight, they are outnumbered.
• Launch into the Seven Days’ Battles – Confederates circle around Union army and spy to
learn about Union positions– Then the Rebels force Yankees back– Yankees fail to capture Richmond– Restores Rebel hope
![Page 43: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Gloom in the North• Disheartened by Richmond failure• Confederates win the Second Battle of Bull
Run, allowing them to keep Richmond– This Confederate victory brought Rebels closer to
Washington, D.C., which posed a huge threat for the Yankees
![Page 46: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Lee Enters Maryland• General Robert E. Lee tries to convince
Maryland to become part of the Confederacy• Two soldiers find Lee’s copy of attack orders
wrapped around three cigars– McClellan learns Lee’s plans and that his army was
divided into four parts (Trevor Trivia)– McClellan’s big opportunity to redeem himself has
arrived– But he was too cautious again and he waited four
days to attack, giving Lee enough time to gather his troops together
![Page 47: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Battle of Antietam• September 17th—single most bloodiest day of the entire
war• Casualties were heavy on both sides, but neither army
was destroyed• Lee withdraws to Virginia and Union takes this as a
victory– McClellan ignored Lincoln’s order to pursue the
Rebels and destroy them– Lincoln fires McClellan and replaces him with General
Ambrose Burnside
*Lincoln uses this major victory as a sign to take action against slavery. He begins this new conquest.

Section 3: A Call to Freedom
• Main Idea 1: Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which led to the passing of the Thirteenth Amendment freeing enslaved Americans.
• Main Idea 2: The Civil War provided opportunities for African Americans to contribute to the war effort.
![Page 52: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

• emancipate• ratify
![Page 53: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Lincoln’s Official Position
• At first, Lincoln thought slavery was immoral but did not want to move against it in fear of losing the border states
• “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery…I do because I believe it helps to save the Union.” ~ Abraham Lincoln 1862
![Page 54: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Weakening Slavery
• Slavery helped the South because slaves raised crops to feed the armies and did the heavy work in the trenches at army camps
• Therefore, Lincoln decided to emancipate all enslaved African Americans in the South
![Page 55: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Rotten to the Core
• Lincoln saw America as becoming rotten by the nasty worm Slavery
• Who wants to fight for a nation with a rotten core?
• America could no longer speak of liberty and equality and be cruel and hateful to a large group of its own people.
![Page 56: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Emancipation Proclamation• “…all persons held as slaves within any
state…in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” ~ The Emancipation Proclamation January 1, 1863
![Page 57: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
• “ I never, in my life, felt more certain that I was doing right than in signing this paper.”
~Abraham Lincoln

Effects of the Proclamation
1) Applied only to areas the Confederacy controlled, but African Americans in the North were happy about it
2) Britain and France were against slavery, so they didn’t want to help the Confederacy even though they bought cotton from them
3) 1865 Congress passes the Thirteenth Amendment—abolished all slavery in the U.S. (this is what truly freed enslaved Americans)
![Page 60: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Civil War Changes the South• Loss of population due to many slaves
fleeing to the North• Slave rebellions because Rebels refused to
let African Americans into the army• Eventually, Rebels plea with slaves to join
the Confederate army in exchange for freedom to fight for the country they love instead of doing the “slave” work for the armies. (The war ended before any African American regiments could be organized)
![Page 61: The Civil War (1861-1865) Created by: Sarah Rice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bdf94550346c3588b5ce4/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Civil War Changes the North• Lincoln at first sends back all runaway slaves who wanted to
fight for the Union because he didn’t want to stir up a problem
• The ones who stayed were called contrabands: property seized from the enemy
• 1862 Congress passes a law allowing African Americans to serve in both the Union army and navy
• African American regiments were separate– 54th Massachusetts most famous African Am. Regiment– Their bravery attacking Confederates won deep respect
for all African American troops

decreasing • The Confederate Congress passed a draft law
– Draft law: required men between 18 and 35 to serve in the army for three years

the ages 20-45

The Battle of Gettysburg• Yankees and Rebels met by accident in 1863
and head into a three day battle. • (Lee was marching to the North hoping to fight Yankees on
their home ground to know the pain they’ve caused the South).

Abe Is Disobeyed Again• Abe orders an attack on Lee’s retreating army
to finish them off and end the war• General Meade was too cautious like General
McClellan and didn’t act• “We had them in our grasp. We had only to
stretch forth our hands and they were ours,” stated Lincoln.
