The Civil War New President Abraham Lincoln is elected 16th President of the United States in 1860. During the election, he had spoken out strongly against the spread of slavery and hoped that one day it would end. Election Promises To help get Lincoln elected, the Republicans promised free land in the West as part of their campaign in 1860. Two acts helped them do this – the Homestead Act and the Morrill Land Grant Act Homestead Act Passed in 1862 Law that gave settlers 160 acres of public land in the west if they would live on it for 5 years. Do you think you could do that? Let’s see. Morrill Land Grant Act Passed in 1862 Law that gave public land to states to set up public colleges with programs in agriculture, industry (A&M) and military tactics. Auburn University began as one of these colleges. Let’s see what other schools benefited. Remain United Lincoln hoped to prevent a war. “We are not enemies, but friends,” Lincoln told Southerners after taking the oath of office. “We must not be enemies.” But time was running out. South Carolina secedes Shortly after the election of Lincoln, South Carolina declared “the United States of America is hereby dissolved” and seceded (separated) from the Union. Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas soon followed. Meeting in Montgomery In 1861, the seven seceded states met in Montgomery, AL to discuss what to do next. A New Country Formed Together these seven states formed a new country. They called the new country the Confederate States of America. They elected Jefferson Davis as President and named Montgomery AL as the first capital. Fort Sumter President Lincoln received word that supplies were running out at Fort Sumter, located on an island off the coast of South Carolina. If supplies did not come soon, they would have to surrender the fort to the Confederacy. A Difficult Decision Lincoln had to make an important decision. He decided not to abandon the fort and not to reinforce it, he only sent supplies to the fort. Then he waited to see what would happen. Jefferson’s Response Now Jefferson Davis had to make a decision. He decided to attack the fort before the supply ships arrived. On April 12, 1861, Confederates fired on Fort Sumter. The Battle of Fort Sumter The Battle of Fort Sumter was the first battle of the American Civil War and signaled the start of the war. Read the following story about the battle and answer the questions. Imagine you are a teenager in South Carolina at the time. How would you feel about the war? What would you want to see happen?

Richmond After Virginia joined the Confederacy, the capital of the Confederate States of America was moved from Montgomery, AL to Richmond, VA Opposition to Secession Not all states and not all parts of the states agreed with secession. Winston County Alabama seceded from the Union, but Winston County wanted to remain neutral and seceded from Alabama. The Free State of Winston This county’s representatives in 1862 opposed secession voted to remain neutral and were labeled as “torries”. When Alabama seceded from the Union in the 1860s to create the Confederate States of America, before the Civil War, Winston County seceded from Alabama, making plain that it opposed the rest of Alabama's position in the war. To celebrate its strength during the war, it is now called The Free State of Winston. _____1. Based on the reading, why were the people of Winston County called “Torries”? a.

They were located on the border between the Union states and the Confederate states. They had soldiers fighting for both sides!

The North had 387 soldiers killed while the South Picture Credit: http://www.multied.com/civilwar/Bull.gif lost 460. July The Battle of the Ironclads The Monitor vs The Merrimack March 9, 1862 The battle took place in Hampton Roads, VA. The South had built a ship with iron plates called the Merrimack. The North challenged the Confederate ship with an iron ship called the Monitor. Picture Credit: http://www.mandia.com/kelly/webpage/99_student_pages/merrimack_monitor/battle.jpg The Ironclads The two iron ships fought for 5 hours and even collided 5 times. Neither side won but the use of iron ships changed naval warfare forever. Picture Credit: http://www.mandia.com/kelly/webpage/99_student_pages/merrimack_monitor/battle.jpg April 6, 1862 General Ulysses S. Grant gathered the Union troops at a Tennessee church named Shiloh. Although he was not prepared when the South attacked he managed to reorganize his troops and on April 7, 1862 the south retreated. Shiloh Antietam (Sharpsburg, Maryland) September 17, 1862 The battle took place near Antietam Creek in Sharpsburg, MD The first major battle to take place in the North. The battle is known as the single bloodiest day in the Civil War. Robert E. Lee led the Confederate army. George McClellan led the Union army. More than 26,000 men were killed. The South retreated the next day. Dissent (Disagree) Not everyone agreed with the war. Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus in several states. This meant you could be put in jail without going to court to be told why. People who supported the south or who did not support the war could be put in jail. More than 13,000 people were arrested including some Copperheads – Northern Democrats who wanted peace with the South. More Troops As the war continued, less people volunteered to fight. Both sides began conscription – mandatory military service. The draft forced people to serve in the military. Draft Riots Not everyone who was drafted actually fought. You could pay $300 not to serve You could hire someone to serve in your place Poor whites and immigrants who could not afford to pay their way out of the draft started riots to protest the draft. The North had lost several battles and Abraham Lincoln was worried people would stop supporting the war. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation effective January 1, 1863 It freed the slaves only in states that had seceded from the Union. It did not free slaves in border states. It gave the war a moral cause and helped make sure people would still support the war. African American Soldiers After the Emancipation Proclamation, many African Americans joined the Union army. They made up about 10% of the Union army. Most were former slaves. They were soldiers, but still faced discrimination (separate regiments with white commanders, earned less pay and often did labor duty). Usually if captured, African American soldiers were shot or returned to slavery. What do you remember? Before we began this section, we had a pre-test. How much do you remember? Let’s see!! Answer the following questions on your paper. The War and The Economy Southern Shortages The south faced a shortage of food The men were fighting, soldiers were on the farm land and slaves were not there to work Families had little money to pay for food when they could find it. Northern Growth The north had a growth in industry to supply things to the army The draft took many workers so people bought machines to help them work Women, immigrants and freed slaves worked in place of the men who were fighting the war. The War and Prisons Conditions in army camps were bad – trash, food scraps, dirty clothes, no baths Conditions in prisons were worse – men were crowded in fields with no shelter and little food. They drank from the same water that they used as a bathroom. The worst Confederate camp was Andersonville, Georgia. Women and The War Clara Barton was a Northern woman who cared for Union soldiers as a nurse on the front lines. She was described as “the angel of the battlefield” Sally Tompkins was the only woman given the title Captain of the Confederate army She ran one of the South’s most successful hospitals The Battle of Gettysburg, PA Picture Credit: www.pennhomes.com/loc.htm The battle of Gettysburg, PA took place on July13, 1863. The Southern soldiers came there looking for shoes. The Northern soldiers had arrived a day earlier. When they met it became the turning point in the war. Gettysburg After 3 days of fighting, more men had died during this battle than any other. The South retreated on the 3rd day of battle. Vicksburg May-July 1863 in Vicksburg, MS Grant led the Union army as they defeated the Confederate army. This gave the Union control of the Mississippi River. Gettysburg Address November 1863 Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg to dedicate part of the battlefield as a cemetery for soldiers who died there. He spoke for 3 minutes. He wanted to honor the dead for giving their lives for the Union and he wanted to remind the living that the war must go on to honor those who had died. The Gettysburg Address “Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can consecrate – we can not hallow – this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which the gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
