Major Events of the Civil War Timeline

November 1860 Abraham Lincoln Elected US President Lincoln was an abolitionist, so many Southerners feared he was going to abolish slavery.

February 23, 1861 TX Votes to Secede Texans voted to approve secession from the Union and join the Confederacy

March 1861 TX Governor Houston Removed from Office Governor Sam Houston refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy, so he was removed from his job as Governor of Texas.

April 12, 1861 Civil War Begins – Battle at Fort Sumter First battle of the Civil War. Confederate troops attacked Union troops at Fort Sumter in Charleston Bay, South Carolina.

April 16, 1862 Conscription Act A law that required all men between the ages of 18 and 35 to serve in the Confederate armed forces. Before this law only 25,000 Texans served, but with this law the number of Texans that served during the war had rose to over 70,000.

Late 1862 Union Blockade Union forces set up a blockade along the entire Confederate coastline. A blockade kept the Confederacy from shipping cotton to Europe in exchange for supplies. On October 4th, the Union took control of the port at Galveston, Texas.

January 1, 1863 Confederacy recaptures Galveston Confederate forces attack the Union forces at Galveston and win. Being able to control Galveston once again reopens an important port, and keeps open a link to the Confederate chain of supplies.

January 1, 1863 Emancipation Proclamation Union President Lincoln makes an executive order that said, "all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free." The Confederate states weren’t listening to Lincoln, so in most cases slaves weren’t truly free until the Union forces had taken over that area of the Confederacy.

September 8, 1863 Battle of Sabine Pass Union forces tried to attack Sabine Pass, which is where the Sabine Rivers flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Union thought it could be a place to set up base and attack further into Texas. Confederate forces didn’t allow them to take control of Sabine Pass, so it ended the Union’s plans to launch further attacks in Texas.

January 31, 1865 13th Amendment Passed 13th Amendment = End of slavery The amendment was passed by the US Senate in April 1864. It passed the House of Representatives on January 31st. Lincoln signed it as a joint resolution on February 1st, so it was then sent out to the states for ratification.

April 9, 1865 Surrender at Appomattox Courthouse Confederate forces, under Robert E. Lee, surrender to Union forces. Civil War Ends = North Wins!!

April 14, 1865 Abraham Lincoln Assassinated Lincoln is shot and killed by John Wilkes Booth while watching a play at Ford’s Theater.

May 13, 1865 Battle of Palmito Ranch Despite the surrender of Confederate armies in the East, some southern Confederate soldiers want to continue fighting. When Union forces went to Brownsville and found Confederate forces weren’t withdrawing, a fight broke out at Palmito Ranch. Confederate troops won but were later advised to quit fighting.
