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
