Which battle destroyed Northerners hopes that the war would end quickly? Bull Run I in Manassas, VA

Battle of Bull Run I – July 21, 1861 Eastern Theater First major battle of the Civil War in which the outnumbered Confederates shockingly defeated the Union Army. This made it clear the war would NOT end quickly and that the Union was in for an unexpected struggle. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson

Unit 6– Identify political and military turning points of the Civil War and assess their significance to the outcome of the Civil War. “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not to either save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save the Union by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save the Union by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.” - President Abraham Lincoln

How did the Emancipation Proclamation change the outcome of the war? “I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within [all states currently in rebellion against the Union] are, and henceforward shall be, free; and that the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, shall recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.” President Lincoln – “Emancipation Proclamation”

EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."

Consequences of the Emancipation Proclamation Did not immediately free a single slave (applied only to Confederate territories) Slavery in border states was allowed to continue (kept Border States on Union side by not alienating slave owners) Endorsed policy of abolition; made the war about slavery Union soldiers now fought against slavery, not just secession and rebellion; motivated Union soldiers to fight harder Encouraged fugitive slaves to join Union troops in fighting against Confederacy (180,000 African American Union soldiers) Ended chance of France or Britain entering war on side of the South Laid foundation for 13th Amendment (“henceforward”) which eventually freed slaves in Border States as well as reconstructed Southern states.
