Vocabulary • examine – look at closely • dilemma – a difficult problem with two equally undesirable solutions • militia – group of volunteers who serve in their state’s military during emergencies • border states – slave states that hadn’t seceded yet • secession – withdrawal from the Union Check for Understanding • What are we going to do today? • What is a dilemma? What is a militia? What is a border state? What We Already Learned The election of 1860, which Abraham Lincoln won, showed how slavery had divided the country. What We Already Learned In 1858, Lincoln himself had warned that slavery might fatally divided the Union. • “A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. • I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. • It will become all one thing, or all the other.” What We Already Learned After Lincoln’s election, seven Southern states seceded and by February 1861 had formed the Confederate States of America. Read aloud with me! What We Already Learned In his inaugural address, Lincoln reassured the South that he had no intention of interfering with slavery, but also spoke forcefully against secession. What We Already Learned • Lincoln wanted no invasion, but he would not abandon the government’s forts in the South. • Most of these, including Fort Sumter in South Carolina, were still manned by Union troops. • These forts would soon need to be resupplied.

Choosing Sides • It was important to Lincoln that the border states did not secede. • Border states were slave states that bordered the North and had not yet seceded. Choosing Sides The location and resources of the border states made them pivotal in tipping the scales to one side or the other. Choosing Sides • Maryland was of great concern. • If Maryland seceded, then Washington, D.C., would be cut off from the rest of the Union. Choosing Sides • Lincoln sent in troops and ordered the arrest of Maryland politicians who were sympathetic to the South. YOU’RE BUSTED!! Choosing Sides • Lincoln sent in troops and ordered the arrest of Maryland politicians who were sympathetic to the South. • Because of Lincoln’s decisive actions, both Maryland and Delaware stayed in the Union. Choosing Sides • Kentucky was deeply divided over secession. • Its rivers could provide an invasion route into the South, or provide a barrier for the South. • An 1861 invasion by Confederate troops convinced the state to stay in the Union. Choosing Sides • Western Virginia, with the help of Union troops, broke away from Virginia and returned to the Union. Choosing Sides • In Missouri, Union troops and local unionists fought against secessionists. • In the end, Missouri also stayed in the Union. Get your whiteboards and markers ready! 6.
