Section 2
}_
-=
A. As you read about wartime politics, briefly note the causes or effects (depending
on which is missing) of each situation.
,~:
Causes
1. Great Britain had little need for Southern cotton, since it possessed a
large cotton inventory and had found new sources of raw cotton.
The failure of the English wheat crop made Northern wheat an
essential impart. British popular opinion opposed slavery,
especially after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Effects
..
2.
Lincoln issues the
Emancipation Proclamation.
3.
Lincoln suspends the writ of
habeas corpus in the state
of Maryland..
4.
Both the Union and
Confederate governments
pass draft laws.
'i.
Q
U
5. A draft law was passed favoring and protecting the wealthy. Lowerclass white workers were angered about having to fight a war to free
slaves who,they believed, would then take over their jobs. Low
wages, bad living conditions, and high unemployment among the
lower class stirred up a mob mentality and racism.
