SECESSION AND THE CIVIL WAR America: Past and Present Chapter 15

The Storm Gathers Secession does not necessarily mean war One last attempt to reconcile North & South Federal response to secession debated

The Deep South Secedes December 20,1860--South Carolina secedes February 1861--Confederate States of America formed included South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas

Secession

The Deep South Secedes (2) Government headed by moderates Confederate constitution resembles U.S. Aim to restore pre-Republican Party Union Southerners hope to attract Northern states into Confederacy

The Failure of Compromise Crittenden Plan: extend the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific Lincoln rejects does not think it will end secession viewed as repudiation of Republican principles Buchanan takes no action to stop secession Some wish to “let the South depart in peace”

And the War Came North seeks action to preserve Union April 13, 1861--Fort Sumter, S.C, falls April 15--Lincoln calls out Northern state militias to suppress Southern insurrection April-May--Upper South secedes Border states--slave states remain in Union War defined as effort to preserve Union

Adjusting to Total War North must win by destroying will to resist Total War--a test of societies, economies, political systems as well as armies

Resources of the Union and the Confederacy, 1861

Prospects, Plans, and Expectations South adopts defensive strategy--North must fight in unfamiliar, hostile terrain Lincoln adopts two-front strategy capture Confederate capital, Richmond, Va. seize control of the Mississippi River deploy navy to blockade Southern ports

Overview of Civil War Strategy

Mobilizing the Home Fronts 1862--North & South begin conscription Northern mobilization finance war through taxes, bonds, paper money private industry supplies Union armies well Confederate mobilization government arsenals supply Confederate armies efforts to finance lead to runaway inflation transportation system inadequate

Political Leadership: Northern Success and Southern Failure Lincoln expands wartime powers declares martial law imprisons 10,000 "subversives" without trial briefly closed down a few newspapers Jefferson Davis concerned mainly with military duties neglects civilian morale, economy lacks influence with state governments

Early Campaigns and Battles Northern achievements by 1862 total naval supremacy Confederate troops cleared from West Virginia, Kentucky, much of Tennessee New Orleans captured Confederate achievements by 1862 stall campaign for the Mississippi at Shiloh defend Richmond from capture

Civil War, 1861-1862

The Diplomatic Struggle England belligerent rights extended to Confederacy conditions recognition of independence on proof that South can win independence France--Confederacy not recognized unless England does so first "King Cotton" has little influence on foreign policy of other nations

Fight to the Finish North adopts radical measures to win 1863--war turns against South Southern resistance continues

The Coming of Emancipation September 22, 1862--Antietam prompts preliminary Emancipation Proclamation surrender in 100 days or lose slaves January 1, 1863--Proclamation put into effect for areas still in rebellion African Americans flee to Union lines Confederacy loses thousands of laborers

African Americans and the War 200,000 African American Union troops Many others labor in Northern war effort Lincoln pushes further for black rights organizes governments in conquered Southern states that abolish slavery Maryland, Missouri abolish slavery January 31, 1865--13th Amendment passed

The Tide Turns May, 1863--war-weariness July, 1863 New York riots against conscription Grant seems bogged down at Vicksburg Union defeated at Chancellorsville Democrats attack Lincoln July, 1863 Lee loses Battle of Gettysburg Vicksburg falls, North holds the Mississippi

Last Stages of the Conflict March 9, 1864--Grant made supreme commander of Union armies Union invades the South on all fronts William Sherman marches through Georgia Grant lays siege to Richmond, Petersburg September 2--Sherman takes Atlanta November 8--Lincoln reelected
