Presidential election of 1860 In 1860, Stephan Douglas and Abraham Lincoln ran against each other again, this time for president. Lincoln had become well known from their debates about slavery. This time Lincoln won, becoming the 16th president.

Confederate States of America On December 20, 1860, South Carolina was first to secede. Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas followed. The eleven states that seceded formed the Confederate States of America. Jefferson Davis was named president. They wrote a new Constitution which made slavery legal.

The Civil War began at Fort Sumter

Fort Sumter was in the South Tough to defend for the Union 23 states in the Union (North) at the beginning of the war. 11 states in the Confederacy (South) at the beginning of the war.

First Battle of Bull Run Took place in northern Virginia Union drove back Confederates at first Confederates rallied, surging forward with a “Rebel Yell” Union army was terrified and dropped their guns and ran Caused a lot of panic when troops collided with civilians The South rejoiced!

War at Sea The North set up a blockade to keep the South from using the sea Would prevent the South from exporting the cotton and keep important supplies away The blockade caused serious problems for the South

Battle of the Ironclads Merrimac vs. The Monitor

Battle of Shiloh April 6-7, 1862 Lasted 2 days with some of the most bitter, bloody fighting More than 20,000 casualties This battle helped the North to gain control of the Mississippi River Union victory

Union Defeat at Richmond Union General McClellan did not act, allowing the Confederates to plan a defense The defeat spread gloom in the North Call for more volunteers – but slow Victory boosted Southern morale

Battle of Antietam The Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest day in American history, bar none. In the first three hours of the battle alone, the Union Army took 8,000 casualties. Twice as many men fell at Antietam in that one day than all the men of the D-day invasion of World War II combined. 23,000 dead or wounded

Battle of Antietam Confederates launch an offensive into MD 2 union soldiers found a copy of Lee’s orders for his army The North knew what to expect Sept. 17, 1862 - the most bloody day of the entire war Over 23,000 soldiers killed or wounded Confederate retreat allowed Union troops to claim victory – but no clear winner

North’s Advantages The Union had some major advantages. More people More factories Could make weapons More miles of railroad tracks

The 35-Star Flag: the Official United States Flag on July 4th, 1863. A star was added for the admission of West Virginia (June 20th, 1863) and was to last for 2 years. The two Presidents to serve under this flag were Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865) and Andrew Johnson (1865-1869).
