First Shots fired

In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it." Abraham Lincoln

Fort Sumter Lincoln got the South to fire first shots of war. Forces the undecided States (border States) to make a decision. Lincoln calls for men to fight States that become loyal to the Union Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware

Politics of the War

Draft riots If one was drafted, they could pay out of it ($300) or send someone in their place Riots ensued in NYC (Irish Americans v. rich whites and African Americans)

Habeas Corpus Remember this?? Lincoln suspends writ of habeas corpus This means people could be arrested without being told of the charges against them and did not have to go before a judge. Why would he do that?

Emancipation Proclamation It freed the slaves ONLY IN THE REBELLING SLAVE STATES. Military Effect: Undercut the Southern labor force when Union troops came south. Symbolic effect: gives moral purpose to war. Diplomatic Effect: Britain will not ally with the South because it puts the slavery question at forefront of war.

Gettysburg Address Given as Gettysburg was dedicated as national landmark Lincoln speaks of “new birth of freedom” Correlation with which historical document?
