?How did people, places, and things affect the outcome of the Civil War?
Chapter 15: Section 1 The Civil War

2. Section 1: The Call to Arms
Why it Matters
Both sides believed this would be a quick war.
North thought the South did not have the ability to fight a long war.
South thought the North would not fight against them when they realized the South would fight back.
Both were wrong

3. Taking Sides in the War
Pres. Lincoln declares a state of rebellion in the South.
He called for 75,000 troops which made 4 more states to secede

4. More States Secede
Many states eagerly sent soldiers after the call to arms
Many young man eagerly signed up for service
Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri refused to send a single man “to fight against our southern brothers”
Maryland and Delaware did not even respond

5. Virginia secedes
50 counties of Western part of Virginia did not want to secede and asked to be admitted into the Union as the state of West Virginia
Virginia was slow to secede. Why

6. The Border States Slave states that did not secede
Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri and Maryland favored the South but did not secede. Why?
Missouri and Kentucky were important because they controlled the Ohio and Mississippi River
Delaware had few slaves

7. The Border states: Missouri
Lincoln reacts to border states with care and patience. Careful to not to upset them
Lincoln acted with force to hold Missouri and Maryland
He backed an overthrown “south supported” government in Missouri and supported the new “North supported” state government

8. Maryland
Southern sympathizers destroyed railroad and telegraph lines to Washington, DC
Lincoln declares martial law ( military is in charge and citizens’ rights are suspended)
Why is this necessary to keep Maryland?
