Britain’s role Britain had been America’s biggest trading partner forever. The South thought that they could get Britain on their side, since they provided them with so much cotton. Britain chooses to be neutral, however, since they still wanted to trade with the North and they had found other cotton trading countries.

The Trent Affair The South sent 2 diplomats to Britain aboard a British ship in 1861. An American ship intercepted them, and arrested the 2 men. Britain threatened war on the North, and sent 8,000 troops to Canada

War averted Lincoln knew that he could only fight one war at a time, so he freed the two men. Britain withdrew their threat of war, and both sides were happy not to have to fight each other.

Lincoln’s Views on Slavery He disliked slavery, but he did not think the federal government had the power to abolish it where it existed. The North was growing increasingly “Abolitionist,” however and Lincoln was facing lots of pressure to abolish slavery.

Lincoln finds a way… Slaves were helping build Confederate forts and supply Confederate soldiers. Lincoln reasoned that it would be within his powers to have Union soldiers Emancipate (free without compensation) the slaves because it would be a “war effort.”

The Emancipation Proclamation Lincoln issues this on January 1, 1863. It said any slaves that were held in any states that were in rebellion to the United States (the Confederate States) would be free.

Effects of the Proclamation Abolitionists in the North rejoiced. Jefferson Davis said it was the worst thing ever. Many in the Union Army were not happy, because it allowed free African Americans to serve. Democrats in the North didn’t like it because they thought it would just make the South fight harder. Southerners hated it, and it made them fight harder.

Lincoln’s Expansion of Executive Powers There were many people in the North who sympathized with the Confederacy. Lincoln suspended “habeas corpus,” which is the right to be charged with a crime and have due process. Many people were arrested without being charged.

This is what we call the “draft.’ Conscription This is what we call the “draft.’ The war was inflicting heavy casualties on both sides and they could no longer rely on volunteers.

The Southern Draft It started with all able bodied white men, 18-35. However, you could buy your way out. Also, if you owned more than 20 slaves, you were exempt. Later in the war they expand the ages from 17 to 50.

Northern Draft The North drafted white men between 20 and 45. You also could buy your way out of the draft in the North.

Draft riots Poor white people really resented the draft. They didn’t think it was fair that they had to fight simply because they couldn’t afford to get out of the draft. They also didn’t want to fight to free the slaves, because they thought the slaves would take their jobs.

Draft Riots In July of 1863, New York City erupted into a three day long riot. Rich white people were attacked, as were African Americans. 100 people ended up dead.
