CIVIL WAR
the civil war started over “states rights” The Federal government was trying to enact controls over things that the southern states thought were their own business. They quit the Union and started their own nation, the Confederate States of America. The Union fought to get them back into the one nation.

SLAVERY
Slavery was legal in the southern states and in some northern states. After the Battle of Antietam in 1862, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation which freed slaves in SOUTHERN states, but not northern states. After the civil slavery ended in all states with the 13th Amendment. The legal end to slavery in the nation came in December 1865 when the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified, it declared neither slavery, except as a punishment for crime where of the party have been convicted, exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

CONFEDERACY
South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas were the seven deep south cotton states seceded by Fevyart 1861. These seven states formed the Confederate States of America in February 4, 1861 with Jefferson Davis as president, and a governmental structure closely modeled on the United States Constitution. The attack on Fort Sumter, President Lincoln called or a volunteer army from each state, in two months, four more Southern slave states declared their secession and joined the Confederacy. The northwestern portion of Virginia seceed from Virginia, joining the Union as the new state of West Virginia On Jun 20, 1863.

THE WAR BEGINS
Lincoln’s victory in the presidential election of 1860 triggered South Carolina’s declaration of secession from the Union. By February 1861, six more Southern states made similar declarations. On March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as President. In his inaugural address, he argued that the Constitution was a more perfect union than the earlier Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, that it was a binding contract, and called any secession “legally void”. The South sent delegations to Washington and offered to pay for the federal properties and enter into a peace treaty with the United States. Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina, Fort Monroe, Fort Pickens and Fort Taylor were the remaining Union forts in the Confederacy, and Lincoln was determined to hold Fort Sumter. Four states in the upper South Tennessee, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Virginia, which had repeatedly rejected Confederate overtures, now refused to send forces against their neighbors, declared their secession, and joined the Confederacy. To reward Virginia, the Confederate capital was moved to Richmond. The city was the symbol of the Confederacy. Richmond was in a highly vulnerable location at the end of a tortuous Confederate supply line. Although Richmond was heavily fortified, supplies for the city would be reduced by Sherman’s capture of Atlanta and cut off almost entirely when Grant besieged Petersburg and its railroads that supplied the Southern capital.

BACKGROUND RESEARCH
Slavery at the beginning of the war some Union commanders thought they were supposed to return escaped slaves to their masters. In 1862 when it became clear that this would be a long war, the question of what to do about slavery became more general. The Southern economy and military effort depended on slave labor. It began to seem unreasonable to protect slavery while blockading Southern commerce and destroying Southern production. As one Congressman put it, the slaves cannot be neutral. As laborers, if not as soldiers, they will be allies of the rebels, or of the Union. The same Congressman and his fellow Radical Republicans put pressure on Lincoln to rapidly emancipate the slaves, whereas moderate Republicans came to accept gradual, compensated emancipation and colonization.
