Potter, The Impending Crisis, 1848–1861 (1976). • “Thus slavery suddenly emerged as a transcendent sectional issue in its own right, and as a catalyst of all sectional antagonisms, political, economic, and cultural. . . . The slavery question became the sectional question, the sectional question became the slavery question, and both became the territorial question. . . . From the sultry August night in 1846 when Wilmot caught the chairman’s eye, the slavery question steadily widened the sectional rift until an April dawn in 1861 when the batteries along the Charleston waterfront opened fire on Fort Sumter. . . .” Michael Holt, Forging a Majority: The Formation of the Republic Party in Pittsburgh, 1848–1860 (1969). Page 1 of 3 Mr.Anderson,M.Ed.,J.D. • “Politics did not revolve around [slavery and the South] just as politics today does not revolve around communism, although most people dislike it. Instead, social, ethnic, and religious considerations often determined who voted for whom between 1848 and 1861. Divisions between native-born Americans and immigrants and between Protestants and Catholics, rather than differences of opinion about the tariff or the morality of slavery, distinguished Whigs and Republicans from Democrats. . . . Interpreting the rise of the Republican party in the North solely in terms of hostility to slavery or economic issues is, therefore, too simplified.” Using the excerpts, answer parts a, b, and c. a) Briefly explain ONE major difference between Potter and Holt’s historical interpretation of the politics of the 1850s. b) Briefly explain how ONE development from the period 1844 to 1861 not directly mentioned in the excerpts supports Potter’s argument. c) Briefly explain how ONE development from the period 1844 to 1861 not directly mentioned in the excerpts supports Holt’s argument.

Wilderness Campaign 21. Appomattox Courthouse 22. Reform Bill of 1867 Chapter 21 Questions: (15 points) Thomas C. Cochran, “Did the Civil War Retard Industrialization?” Mississippi Valley Historical Review (1961). “Collectively these statistical estimates support a conclusion that the Civil War retarded American industrial growth. . . . Economically the effects of war and emancipation over the period 1840 to 1880 were negative. . . . If factory industry and mechanized transportation be taken as the chief indexes of early industrialism, its spread in the United States was continuous and rapid during the entire nineteenth century. . . . Few economists would see a major stimulation to economic growth in the events of the Civil War.” James McPherson, Battle Cry of Freedom (1988). “The old federal republic in which the national government had rarely touched the average citizen except through the post-office gave way to a more centralized polity that taxed the people directly Page 2 of 3 Mr.Anderson,M.Ed.,J.D. and created an internal revenue bureau to collect these taxes, drafted men into the army, expanded the jurisdiction of the federal courts, created a national currency and a national banking system, and established the first national agency for social welfare—the Freedmen’s Bureau. . . . These changes in the federal balance paralleled a radical shift of political power from South to North. . . . The accession to power of the Republican party, with its ideology of competitive, egalitarian, free-labor capitalism, was a signal to the South that the northern majority had turned irrevocably toward this frightening, revolutionary future. Union victory in the war destroyed the southern vision of America and ensured that the northern vision would become the American vision.” Using the excerpts, answer parts a, b, and c. a) Briefly explain ONE major difference between Cochran and McPherson’s historical interpretation of the consequences of the Civil War. b) Briefly explain how ONE development from the period 1861 to 1865 not directly mentioned in the excerpts supports Cochran’s argument. c) Briefly explain how ONE development from the period 1861 to 1865 not directly mentioned in the excerpts supports McPherson’s argument.
