Secession Begins United States of America The Attack on Fort Sumter

Main idea: Eleven southern states left the Union and formed their own government. “We are not enemies, but friends….We must not be enemies.” President Abraham Lincoln

Delegates from 7 southern states meet in Montgomery, Alabama February 4, the 7 states vote to form their own confederation. A confederacy is a political union of people. They believed that states should be allowed to decide their own laws: Ex. Decide if slavery was legal President Lincoln disagreed

South Carolina withdraws first People voted to break away or secede from the Union on December 20, 1860 Over the next 6 weeks, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas soon followed

Terms of the Confederacy The delegates decided that the confederation should have more power than the central government They called themselves the Confederate States of America They elected Jefferson Davis as their President

Fort Sumter, South Carolina, was important because it guarded Charleston harbor. The US (Union Army) still had troops in this fort. * The Civil War had now begun! Fort Sumter Why do you think the Confederacy attacked the fort?

Let’s take a trip to Charleston, SC Why would the southern states want to keep control of this fort?

Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor The Union had control of this key southern fort The Confederates knew controlling the fort meant controlling the ships and the harbor

President Lincoln was determined to find a way to hold the country together without giving in to Confederate demands He wanted:  To avoid a war with the southerners  The southern states to return to the Union…peacefully It was too late… Attack on Fort Sumter

Pvt. Edmund Ruffin, Confederate soldier who fired the first shot against Fort Sumter Maj. Robert Anderson, defender of Fort Sumter

The first shot of the American Civil War didn't hit anything. It was a 10-inch mortar shell that exploded above Fort Sumter as a signal for Confederate artillery to open fire on the Union-held fort.
