Civil War ( ) The South secedes (leaves) the Union and creates their own government/country called the Confederate States of America The two sides fought over State’s Rights, Slavery, Tariffs causing a split between the nation

Sectionalism Sectionalism – the excessive devotion to local interests and customs to a region of a nation. The intense feelings of sectionalism further divided the country into two separate sections- North and South. The North had industry, large cities, a diverse population, and favored the politics of the Republican party which supported the abolition of slavery.

Slavery Slavery was a cause of the Civil War for two reasons. The South viewed slavery as a necessity to maintaining economic wealth. Texas believed that slavery was vital to the economy. However, many people in the North viewed slavery as evil and unconstitutional.

State’s Rights States’ rights is the idea that each state had the right to determine whether or not to follow federal laws. Southerners supported states’ rights. They believed that they had the right to own slaves and even secede, or leave the Union, if they desired. Northerners did not support states’ rights. They believed the national government had final power.

Tariff A tax on imported goods The tax was created to force the Southern states to buy the Northern states products and slow down foreign trade Texans were for low tariffs to continue to trade cotton with European nations and southern states produced 80% of the world’s supply of cotton.

Union Blockade of Texas coastline The Union blocked the Texas coastline to stop the trade of cotton between the southern states and Europe. The Union also wanted to use the cotton for their own source of material like cloth for the Union soldiers Emancipation Proclamation Abraham Lincoln announced on January 1, 1863 that all enslaved people in the southern states will be freed Most southern states ignored the announcement of the freeing the slaves until they lost the war.

Battle of Galveston 1862 & 1863 The Union Navy captured the town of Galveston to slow down the trade of cotton from the south to Europe The Confederate Navy recaptured Galveston on January 1, 1863 and kept control of the town until the end of the war. Sabine Pass Sept. 8, 1863 The Union Navy once again tried to take over Texas and use the cotton for their own northern factories. The Confederate Army was ready for the battle The Confederates captured Union boats and soldiers making this the second loss for the Union in Texas

Palmito Ranch May 13, 1865 The last battle of the Civil War after Robert E. Lee surrendered in April of 1865 Texas Confederates attacked Union forces leading to the capture of the Union soldiers The Confederates were told of the surrender after the victory.

Abraham Lincoln 16th president of the United States, during the Civil War Tried to keep the Union together as much as possible The southern states split from the Union which leads to the Civil War Freed the southern slaves on January 1, 1863 Assassinated on April 14-15, 1865 a couple of days after Robert E. Lee surrenders to the North

Reconstruction ( ) Generally refers to the period in United States history immediately following the Civil War in which the federal government set the conditions that would allow the rebellious Southern states back into the Union.
