3. Economic and social differences between the North and the South
Greater need for cotton – more plantations in the South – greater need for slaves
Southern economy depended on agriculture and slavery – rich farm owners
The North – industrial – purchased raw cotton – finished goods

4. State x federal rights
2 camps – those arguing for greater state rights and those arguing that federal government needed more control
Fight for nullification – the states would have the right to rule federal acts unconstitutional
The federal government denied this right
CC PD,

5. Slave x Non-Slave State Proponents
As America began to expand – question of whether new states admitted to the union would be slave or free
The Compromise of 1850 – dealt with the balance between slave and free states, northern and southern interests
Fugitive Slave Act – owners could travel far north to catch any escaped slaves

6. Other reasons why the Civil war started
Growth of the Abolition Movement in the North
The election of President Abraham Lincoln in 1860 – the South believed that Lincoln was anti-slavery and in favor of Northern interests
February 9, 1861 – 7 states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America – President Jefferson Davis

7. The Confederate States of America

8. The North x the South April 12, 1861 – first shots at Fort Sumter
Beginning of the war – Confederacy was more successful – better trained and organized
( many officers had army schools ), better weapons
The Union – poor organization, less money, bigger army ( many slaves from the South )
January 1, Lincoln issued Emancipation Proclamation – all slaves in the USA shall be forever free
CC PD,

9. The North x the South
Turning point – battle at Gettysburg – the Union started winning
April 9, 1865 – Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse in Richmond – the beginning of the end of the war
President Lincoln – idea of liberal reconstruction of the South – did not come true
CC PD,

10. General Lee surrenders to General Grant
CC PD,

11. Reconstruction Era
Lincoln`s idea - reconstruction of the governments, tried even to give land to freedmen
April 14, 1865 – Lincoln assassinated in the theatre in Washington during the celebrations of victory
President Andrew Johnson ( a Democrat ) – followed his policies
CC PD,

12. Reconstruction Era
Republicans – against Johnson`s policies – put the former Confederacy under the rule of U.S. Army – influenced the new elections
In 10 states – Republican biracial state governments were formed – reconstruction programs
Ku-Klux-Klan was established – organization which persecuted newly freed slaves
CC PD,

13. Reconstruction Era Southern economy – totally destroyed
Plantation owners did not have enough people to work on the fields
Plantations were divided – system of sharecropping – pieces of land were rented to freedmen and their families
Many freedmen lost the land because they did not know how to cultivate it, or they were afraid of Ku-Klux-Klan – violent attacks
CC PD,

14. True or false?
The North was mostly agricultural while the South was industrial
The South needed slaves to work in factories
In 1861 nine states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederacy
The Union was better organized and at the beginning it was winning the war
Emancipation Proclamation proclaimed the beginning of the war
Lincoln successfully reconstructed southern governments
Ku-Klux-Klan was an organization which supported newly freed slaves
The system of sharecropping in the South worked very well
