Notes From My Birthday!
Ok, so here's what we did today...You guessed it, NOTES!
After Fort Sumter: Lincoln called for a 75,000 men militia. -the free states filled their quotas. -yet the 8 slave states rejected the call. -VA, AR, TN, and NC secede.
Border States: DE remained firmly in the Union. -MD, KT, and MD were deeply divided. -MD was occupied by Federal Troops to prevent Washington, D.C. from being surrounded by enemy territory, MO had a similar case.
West Virginia: When VA voted on the decision to secede, delegates vote against secession. -When VA secedes, the area west of Shenandoah created WV. -It entered into the union in 1863.
Balance Sheet at the Start of the War: North had two times as many people. -North's industrial company is stronger than the south. -South's military leaders were more experienced.n -Southerners were more proficient in hunting, riding, and outdoor skills. -to win, the north would need to invade, conquer, and occupy the south. -To win, the south would have to take the defensive and hold out until the north gave up.
Financing the War: Three choices were to tax, borrow through war bonds, print paper money. -in South, people oppose tax, war bonds aren't a success because of land and slave expenses. -The south printed paper money. -paper money soon lost value and caused runaway inflation. -60% of Confederate funding for the War was from paper money, less than 40% war bonds, less than 5% were from taxes. -North raises 66% of revenue by selling war bonds, 21% from taxes and 13% from treasury notes.
King Cotton Diplomacy: Lincoln proclaimed blockade of southern imports. -Cotton was vital to the British economy. -Britain got 75% of raw cotton from the U.S. -Southerners thought that if they cut off the supply of cotton to Britain, that their economy would fail and come back as the south's aid in the war because of their need for cotton. -Little does the south know that Britain had stockpile cotton.
Emancipation: Lincoln opposes the spread of slavery to new territories. -Democrats and Border States fight for the Union, but not for slavery. -Other northerners insisted on a war against slavery. -some thought that ending slavery should cripple the southern economy. -slaves fled their owners. -escaped slaves were known as "Contaband." -In agust 1861, The Confiscation Acr is approved by Congress. -States that Slaves used for the militia by the Confederacy would be seized. -Later it was corrected to say that there would be no seizing slaves if they were in the Union.
Border States Problems: Refused Lincoln offer of compensation to states that voluntarily abolished slavery. -Lincoln didn't want them out of the Union.
Lincoln Issues the Emancipation Proclamation: Republican party calls for Border Action. -Congress calls for the 2nd Confiscation Act. -Rising settlements in the army. -Lincoln's personal dislike of slavery. -The north thought the war would be short.
After Border States Don't come around, Lincoln Issues the Emancipation Proclamation: Declared it is a "military necessity." -it is essential for the preservation of the Union. Lincoln's cabinet agrees.
-On September 4, 1862, General Robert E. Lee drives Army into Maryland, designed to hurt the North
-On September 13, 1862, a copy of Lee's battle plans fell into the Hands of Union General McClellan. McClellan is too cautious and invokes the Battle of Antiedam, which goes down as the bloodiest day in American history. It was a Union victory, but it could have been a bigger victory. Lee soon retreats. -Britain and France withheld Diplomatic recognition of the Confederacy. -Northern Democrats fail to gain control of the House of Representatives. -Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation. -This didn't go into effect until January 1st, 1863. -This time frame gave southern states who seceded a chance to join the Union again. Yet none did.
The Emancipation Proclamation: -Declared "Forever Free." -The slaves with those Confederate states still in rebellion. -The E.P. did not declare all slaves free. War Known as a war against slavery as well for the Union.
That's all I have! Have a good night!
