Chapter 6.3 The Union Dissolves American History Chapter 6.3 The Union Dissolves

Election of 1860 Democrats Republicans The Northern Democrats supported Stephen Douglas and popular sovereignty. The Southern Democrats nominated Breckinridge. Republicans nominated Abraham Lincoln. He won NO Southern states, but he still won the election. Result? South Carolina seceded from the Union. Six other states in the Lower South followed. Whigs Whigs started a new party and chose their own candidate.

Secession* Many Southerners thought secession was like the American Revolution –they had to stand up for their rights. * To withdraw or pull out

Confederacy AKA The Confederate States of America Lincoln was elected in November. 7 states in the Lower South seceded in February.

Jefferson Davis President of the Confederacy

Fort Sumter 1st Battle of the Civil War A U.S. base in Charleston, South Carolina CSA bombarded for 33 hours until the U.S. commander gave up. Confederates demanded that the U.S. surrender the fort to the Confederacy. Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers. 1st Battle of the Civil War Result: 4 more states (Upper South) seceded.

Richmond, Virginia Capital of the Confederate States of America

Lincoln’s Dilemma* Hanging on to the Border States The Lower South had committed acts of treason by firing at Fort Sumter and seceding from the Union . . . BUT if he sent troops, he would anger the Border States –they had slaves but had not seceded. *caught between 2 sides

The Border States’ Dilemma* Many people in the Upper South really didn’t want to secede . . . BUT they also didn’t want to fight other Southern states SO . . . 4 more did secede after Fort Sumter *a problem: caught between 2 sides

Lincoln’s Dilemma (cont.) IF Maryland (a slave state) joined the Confederacy, the capital of the Union would be surrounded by the South.  Washington, D.C.

Martial Law* After angry mobs in Maryland attacked federal troops, Lincoln imposed . . . Military rule Maryland stayed in the Union.

The Border States Missouri Kentucky Maryland Delaware and West Virgina They remained in the Union, but they still had slaves.
