1. Briefly note the causes or effects (depending on which is missing) of each section.
Causes
Effects
1. Great Britain had little need for southern
cotton, since it had a large cotton inventory and
had new sources of raw cotton (sub-continent of
India). The failure of the British wheat crop made
northern wheat an essential import. British
popular opinion opposed slavery, especially after
the Emancipation Proclamation.
2.
Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation
3.
Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus
4.
Both the Union and CSA governments pass draft
laws.
5. A draft law was passed favoring and protecting
the wealthy. Lower socio-economic group 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 classes stirred up a mob mentality and
racism.
Terms:
Emancipation Proclamation
Copperheads
Conscription
Writ of habeas corpus
