Bull Run● July 21, 1861

● Northerners reasons for the march to Bull Run

● Wanted to get to Richmond

● Southerners heard about it from a traitor

Bull Run● People thought that it would not be bloody

● Union was winning in the beginning

● There were tons of people after the war who

were injured or dead

Northern and Southern Strategies● North was free states

● South was enslaved

● Lincoln only enforced the abolishment of slavery in the Northern states

● Lincoln’s strategy ( writing the Emancipation Proclamation) was more effective because it got political voices involved.

● January first, 1863. On this date, any state/part of state that hadn’t finished or accomplished their rebellion with the union would have slaves freed.

● This angered Southerners and Democrats. But made anti- slavery forces excited and energized.

Battle of Antietam● Antietam was fought in Sharpsburg, Maryland near Antietam

Creek on September 17, 1862

● Part of the “Maryland Campaign”

● Antietam was the bloodiest single day in the Civil War, with a combined dead, wounded, and missing at 22,717

● The Union Army of Potomac fought the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia

● Fighting did not continue the next day and Lee retreated across the Potomac along with his men

Effects of the Battle● The battle of Antietam was crucial and sometimes

considered a turning point in the war

● It provided the Union with a victory it needed

● Five days after the battle, Sept. 22 1862, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation

Role of the Border States

● Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware

● They were bitterly divided about secession

● Were not eager to leave the Union

● Virginia had decided to be Confederates

● Part of Virginia broke off ~ West Virginia

● Kentucky proclaimed itself neutral, citizens were equally balanced

● Missouri Constitutional Convention~ Union state, did not fight the south

● Missouri in 1861 became a Confederate State

● Delaware was a Union state, but didn’t want war

● Maryland chose to be a Union State

Border States (continued)

The Border States

The Emancipation Proclamation~ “That all mankind should be free”● Lincoln didn’t want the border states to get mad at the union and

secessed out of the union. So he didn’t abolish slavery in those states.

● Now, Lincoln was not necessarily an abolitionist, but he did not like slavery as a thought.

● Abraham Lincoln accepted slavery though, meaning he let the slaves do what they needed to do and didn’t get in the way of them.

● He personally thought that slavery would die a “natural death” and would just go away over time.
