Restate the question to receive full points. Your explanations and descriptions should be at least three sentences long 1. Describe the economic, social, cultural, and political aspects of the North during the Antebellum period. Climate favors smaller family farms Short growing seasons Natural resources: coal, timber, iron, water power Population lived in urban areas Industrialized 2/3 of all railroad lines Opposed the expansion of slavery Strong centralized government 2.

Climate favors larger farms and plantations Long growing season Soil & climate to grow crops: tobacco, cotton, rice & indigo Population lived in rural areas Lower literacy rate Slave labor Agrarian 1/3 of all railroad lines States’ rights Favored expansion of slavery 3. How did the North respond to new western territories in the United States? Missouri Compromise: Missouri wanted to enter the Union as a slave state. So, Congress creates a plan to allow Missouri to enter the Union and keep their slaves as long as Maine could enter and have no slaves. This maintained the balance of power in Congress. A line would be drawn at 36 30. Anything above the line would be free, anything below the line would be a slave state. Compromise of 1850: California was cut in half by the Missouri Compromise. So, they created the Compromise of 1850. It allowed California to enter as a free state, Utah and New Mexico could choose slavery or not (popular sovereignty), the slave trade ended in Washington D.C., and the Fugitive Slave Law was passed Kansas-Nebraska Act: Federal law passed because more people were moving west. Popular sovereignty was extended to Kansas and Nebraska. Anti-slavery and pro-slavery forces moved to this area and fought one another. This became known as “Bleeding Kansas”. 4. How did the South respond to the new western territories in the United States? ***See above 5. Explain the major successes of the abolitionists’ movement. William Lloyd Garrison: founded the anti-slavery newspaper “The Liberator” and established the American Anti-Slavery Society Frederick Douglas: African American abolitionist. Escaped slavery in Maryland and became a prominent speaker for the abolition of slavery Women’s suffrage movement: Susan B. Anthony & Elizabeth Cady Stanton Underground Railroad & Harriet Tubman 6. Explain the major failures of the abolitionists’ movement. Dred Scott Decision: Dred Scott was a slave from Missouri. He owner moved to a free territory and took him with him. When his owner died, Scott sued for his freedom. The US government said that Scott (and African Americans) were not citizens, that he was a slave and therefore property. This outraged those who favored popular sovereignty. John Brown’s Raid: Radical abolitionists led by John Brown attacked a federal arsenal at Harper’s Ferry Virginia with hopes to steal weapons and ammunition to give to slaves. US troops surrounded the arsenal and forced Brown to surrender. He was later tried for treason. 7. Describe the four main technologies used by the North & South during the Civil War. Railroads Telegraphs Ironclads Weapons 8. Describe the North’s military strategy for the Civil War. Anaconda Plan: Led by General Winfield Scott. The idea was to surround the confederacy and cut off supply lines to restrict southern trade, transpiration, and communication. The Union wanted to seize control of the Mississippi River. 9. Describe the South’s military strategy for the Civil War. Offensive-Defensive Plan: Led by President Jefferson Davis. This strategy was much like a football game. The Confederacy would defend their resources (stockpile of supplies) and only attack the enemy on offensively when the opportunity provided itself. 10. Identify at least two factors that led to the start of the Civil War. (Political & Military) Political: Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860. The southern states were believed that he was running on a platform of abolishing slavery throughout the nation, when in reality, Lincoln wanted to reunite the Union. During the first part of the civil war, Lincoln wanted to maintain the Union. Military: After Lincolns was elected president, South Carolina seceded from the Union. There was a military fort at Fort Sumter, South Carolina that was needing supplies. Lincoln set up a supply ship to go to Fort Sumter with no ammunition, weapons, or extra support. When he told President Jefferson Davis (of the confederacy) he told his confederate troops to fire upon the ship. Lincoln responded by asking for 75,000 volunteers. 11. Describe the Emancipation Proclamation. How and where did it impact African Americans, specifically? Emancipation Proclamation: Lincoln issued the E.P. on September 22, 1862 and it would go into affect on January 1, 1863. It called for the emancipation of slaves in the states in rebellion. The US government, including the military would enforce the freedom of the former slaves. It also established the United States Colored Troops which allowed African Americans to fight for the Union in separate troops. 12. Identify and explain four main battles of the Civil War. Bull Run 1861 Antietam 1862 Gettysburg 1863 Vicksburg 1863 13. Identify and explain four of President Lincoln’s executive actions that he used during the Civil War. Possession of all telegraph lines Possession of all railroad lines Habeas Corpus Emancipation Proclamation 14. How did the Civil War end? (Think of McLean’s story) Appomattox Courthouse – Aoril 9, 1865 Ulysses S. Grant (commander of the Union army) met with Robert E. Lee (commander of the confederate army) at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. Lee signs the surrender agreement. 15. Define Reconstruction. Period of time directly after the Civil War in which the US government attempted to rebuild the South. 16. Explain the three Reconstruction Plans. Abraham Lincoln: 10% Plan – 10% of residents in former confederate states needed to sign an oath of loyalty to form a new government and rejoin the Union, southern needed a pardon to hold office, granted education to African Americans Radical Republican: Wade-Davis Bill 1864 – 50% of residents needed to swear an oath to the US (excluding any known supporter of the Confederacy), each state had to formally outlaw slavery, no confederate soldier could hold office or vote Andrew Johnson: Restoration: Johnson disliked the southern privilege class and resented the slave holders, any high ranking confederate officials must obtain a pardon before voting or holding office, ratify the 13th amendment, only whites who had been pardoned could vote, opposed African American equality and right to vote 17. Explain the political influence of the Reconstruction plans. 13th Amendment: outlawed slavery and involuntary servitude in the US 14th Amendment: granted African Americans citizenship and the right of life, liberty, and property with due process of the law 15th Amendment: granted African Americans the right to vote 18. Explain the social influence of the Reconstruction plans. Freedman’s Bureau: first federal relief agency to provide clothing, medical attention, meals, education, and some land to feed blacks and some poor whites, established first black schools, was disbanded in 1869 after lack of support African American churches: desire for freedom, controlled by African Americans, center of social and political life, discussed issues that related to them, ministers were spiritual and political leaders Black codes: laws meant to keep African Americans subordinate to white by restricting the rights of freed slaves – could not meet together after sunset, could not own weapons, could not rent property anywhere but in rural places 19. Explain the economic influence of the Reconstruction plans Sharecropping: family farmed portion of a landowners land in return for housing and a share of the crop, most landowners were dishonest and subjected them to subtle form of slavery Tenant Farming: fames paid rent to farm the land, owned the crops they grew and were less at the mercy of white landowners than sharecroppers
