Lesson 16.1: War EruptsSlide5

What were the events that led to war breaking out between the Northern and Southern states?

Essential

QuestionSlide6

dilemma: a difficult problem with two equally undesirable solutions.

border states :

slave states that hadn’t seceded yet.militia: group of volunteers soldiers who serve in their state’s military during emergencies.Vocabularysecession : to withdraw from a group or a political union; leave, quit.Slide7

What we already know…

The election of 1860, which Abraham Lincoln won, showed how slavery had divided the country

.Slide8

In 1858, Lincoln himself had warned that slavery might fatally divided the Union…What we already know…

“A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. It will become all one thing, or all the other.”Slide9

What we already know…Between the time Lincoln was elected and his

inauguration,

seven Southern states seceded and by February 1861 had formed the Confederate States of America.Slide10

What we already know…At his inaugural address on March 4, 1861, Lincoln assured the South that he had no intention of abolishing slavery, but spoke forcefully against secession.Slide11

The Firing on Ft. SumterThe resupply of Fort Sumter became the first crisis for President Lincoln. By this time, the Fort had been cut off for four months. When Lincoln notified the governor

of South Carolina that he was sending ships to resupply the fort, Lincoln was given an ultimatum to evacuate the fort immediately.Slide12

The Firing on Ft. SumterMajor Anderson, the Union commander at Ft. Sumter, refused to surrender. Slide13

The Firing on Ft. Sumter

Beginning at 4:30 a.m. on April 12, the

Confederates, under the command of P.G.T. Beauregard, bombarded Fort Sumter from artillery batteries surrounding the harbor. Although the Union garrison returned fire, they were significantly outgunned and, after 34 hours, Major Anderson agreed to surrender.Slide14

A and B Discuss Do you think Lincoln made the right decision in attempting to resupply Ft. Sumter.

Do you think things might have turned out differently if he ordered the Union forces to abandon Ft. Sumter

? Prepare to back up your reasoning.Slide15

Lincoln Calls up the Militia

Two days after the surrender of Fort Sumter, President Lincoln asked the Union states to provide 75,000 militiamen for 90 days to put down the uprising in the South.Slide16

Lincoln Calls up the Militia

In both North, and South, many responded with excitement, relief, or eagerness.

Some feared the war would be over before they got a chance to fight.Slide17

Border StatesThe

border states were those slave states between the South and the North that did not immediately secede from the Union and form the initial Confederacy.Slide18

Southern states that had not yet seceded reacted with shock and anger to this decision.They thought Lincoln’s call for troops was evil and aggressive.Lincoln Calls up the MilitiaSlide19

Border StatesAfter Lincoln’s call for troops, Arkansas, Tennessee

, and Virginia joined the Confederacy.Slide20

Virginia’s SecessionWith Virginia on its side, the Confederacy

had a much better chance for victory.

The Confederacy was strengthened by Virginia’s wealth, population, and prestige.Slide21

Virginia’s SecessionIn recognition of Virginia’s importance, the Confederacy moved its capital to Richmond.Slide22

Robert E. LeeLincoln prepared for the war by offering command of all Union forces to the talented general, Robert E. Lee

.

Unwilling to fight against his home state of Virginia, Lee resigned from the U.S. Army and offered his services to the Confederacy.Slide23

All of Virginia did not join the Confederacy. Once Virginia seceded, people in what eventually became West Virginia put in motion plans to seceded

from Virginia and stay with the Union.Slide29

Choosing SidesAfter Ft. Sumter there were four border states. Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and

Deleware

. It was important to Lincoln that the border states did not secede. Slide30

Choosing SidesThe location and resources of the border states made them pivotal in tipping the scales to one side or the

other

.Slide31

Maryland was of great concern.If Maryland seceded, then Washington, D.C., would be cut off from the rest of the Union.

Choosing SidesSlide32

Choosing SidesLincoln sent in troops and ordered the arrest of Maryland politicians who were sympathetic to the South.

said,  “I hope to have GOD on my side, but I must have Kentucky."Slide34

Leonidas

Polk to take the state of Kentucky for the Confederacy, the legislature petitioned the Union for assistance, and thereafter placed its loyalties to the Union. Slide35

Choosing SidesMissouri was a border state that sent men, armies, generals, and supplies to both opposing sides, had its star on both flags, had separate governments representing each side, and endured a neighbor-against-neighbor

fighting.Slide36
