Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father American Civil War The American Civil War (1861–1865) was the greatest war and the only war fought on American soil. 3,000,000 people fought—600,000 people died. It brought an end to the constitution of slavery and paved the way for the capitalist development in America. To be continued on the next page.

II. American Civil War—the Causes To be continued on the next page.
Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes The Civil War was caused by a myriad of conflicting pressures, principles, and prejudices, fueled by sectional differences and pride, and set into motion by a most unlikely set of political events. At the root of all of the problems was the institution of slavery. The American Revolution had been fought to validate the idea that all men were created equal, yet slavery was legal in all of the thirteen colonies throughout the revolutionary period. Although it was largely gone from the northern states by 1787, it was still enshrined in the new Constitution of the United States. To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes At the Constitutional Convention there were arguments over slavery. Representatives of the Northern states claimed that if the Southern slaves were mere property, then they should not be counted toward voting representation in Congress. Southerners, placed in the difficult position of trying to argue, at least in this case, that the slaves were human beings, eventually came to accept the three-fifths compromise, by which five slaves counted as three free men toward that representation. By the end of the convention, the institution of slavery itself, though never specifically mentioned, was well protected within the body of the Constitution. To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes In 1808, Northern and Southern members of Congress voted together to abolish the importation of slaves from overseas, but the domestic slave trade continued to flourish. The invention of the cotton gin made the cultivation of cotton on large plantations using slave labor a profitable enterprise in the deep South. The slave became an ever more important element of the southern economy, and so the debate about slavery, for the southerners, gradually evolved into an economically based question of money and power, and ceased to be a theoretical or ideological issue at all. It became an institution that southerners felt bound to protect. To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes But even as the need to protect it grew, the ability, or at least the perceived ability of the South to do so was waning. In 1800 half of the population of the United States had lived in the South. But by 1850 only a third lived there and the disparity continued to widen. While northern industrial opportunity attracted scores of immigrants from Europe in search of freedom, the South's population stagnated. Even as slave states were added to the Union to balance the number of free ones, the South found that its representatives in the House had been overwhelmed by the North’s explosive growth. The South found itself at the mercy of a government in which it no longer had an effective voice. To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes Nothing but bitterness and bad feeling could come of it. From such a position it was a short step to the proposition that if a state or section of the country no longer felt itself represented in, or fairly treated by the Federal Government, then it had the right to dissolve its association with that government. It could secede from the Union. To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes The whole mess went up in smoke in the presidential election year of The Democratic party split badly. Stephen Douglas became the nominee of the northern wing of the party. A southern faction broke away from the party and nominated Senator John Breckinridge of Kentucky. The remnants of the Whig party nominated John Bell of Tennessee. To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes Into this confusion the new Republican party injected its nominee, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was a moderate Republican. As such he was a compromise candidate, everybody’s second choice. He was convinced that the Constitution forbade the Federal government from taking action against slavery where it already existed, but was determined to keep it from spreading further. South Carolina, in a fit of stubborn pride, unilaterally announced that it would secede from the Union if Lincoln was elected. To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes To everyone’s amazement Lincoln was victorious. He had gathered a mere 40% of the popular vote, and carried not a single slave state, but the vote had been so fragmented by the abundance of factions that it had been enough. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes South Carolina, true to its word, seceded on December 20, Mississippi left on January 9, 1861, and Florida on the 10th. Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas followed. On Feb 9, 1861, the Confederate States of America was formed with Jefferson Davis, a West Point graduate and former U.S. Army officer, as president. Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes At 4:30 a.m., April 12, 1861, the Confederate army opened fire with 50 cannons upon Fort Sumter (萨姆特炮台) in Charleston, South Carolina. The Civil War broke out. To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the Causes "... but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.” Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln (the Union Army) Jefferson Davis (the Confederate Army) To be continued on the next page.

Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War— Northern & Southern Leaders in the Civil War N S Lee Grant Sherman Lincoln Davis Johnston Longstreet Sheridan To be continued on the next page.

The end of American civil war.
Lesson 2 – Discovery of a Father II. American Civil War—the End On April 9, 1865, Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his Confederate Army to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at the village of Appomattox Court House in Virginia. The Union of the North finally succeeded. The end of American civil war.
