Causes of the Civil War

Growing Division in the US North Industrialized Railroads Telegraph Trade Unions Immigrants from Europe South Agriculture Cotton Yeomen and Tenant Farmers Plantations Slavery

Sectionalism During the 1850s, conflict between different areas of North Carolina increased. Western areas grew less cotton and wheat and needed fewer slaves. Eastern areas increased cotton production and needed more slaves. Sectionalism also effected the US as a whole. North versus South, West versus East

The Cotton Gin The Cotton Gin (engine) was invented by Eli Whitney The Cotton Gin separated cotton seeds from the fibers, a job that was previously done by hand. The invention caused an increase in the production of cotton, which caused an increase in plantations and slavery

The Compromise of 1850 Manifest Destiny: the belief that the US should control all the land from Atlantic to Pacific. 1844: James K. Polk (from North Carolina)elected President. Polk annexed (added) Texas to the US. This led to war with Mexico over the land. Compromise of 1850: allowed California to enter the Union as a free state, introduced Popular Sovereignty (the will of the people), and made a stronger fugitive slave law. James K. Polk

The Kansas-Nebraska Act Created two northern territories with Popular Sovereignty (people choose whether slavery legal or not) Opponents of slavery created the Republican Party (yes, the modern Republican Party) Set off “Bleeding Kansas”. Violence erupts between pro and anti-slavery groups

Dred Scott Decision Dred Scott was a slave taken to a free state, then back to a slave state. He sued for freedom when his master died. The Supreme Court Ruled: 1)Dred Scott was not a citizen so he cannot sue in court 2)African Americans had no rights 3)Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional

Abolitionists There were many people opposed to slavery in the North. Most of these individuals used peaceful means to protest slavery. Frederick Douglas, Sojourner Truth, and William Lloyd Garrison were writers and speakers against slavery. Harriett Tubman founded the Underground Railroad and helped slaves to freedom. John Brown advocated violence to end slavery and raided the US military arsenal in Harpers Ferry, VA to steal guns to arm slaves and start a revolt John Brown

The Failure of Unionism Abraham Lincoln is elected President in November 1860 Southerners believed that Lincoln planned to free all slaves South Carolina seceded from the United States in December, 1860 Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas quickly follow The Confederate States of America formed in Feb. 1861 Jefferson Davis elected President of the CSA

The Failure of Unionism continues Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina is attacked by Confederate troops Lincoln calls up 75,000 troops to defend the Union and retake the Confederacy Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas join the Confederacy in April, 1861 Border States (Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri) and West Virginia vote to stay in the Union
