Border states of MD, DE, KY, and MO have not yet seceded. Robert E. Lee offered command of all Union forces-DECLINES! Capital of the Confederacy is moved from Montgomery, AL to Richmond, VA. SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE EVENTS?

Border States- Delaware and Maryland Delaware- seemed safe. Even though had slavery acted more as a Northern state. Maryland- Why was it important to keep Maryland from seceding? When pro-Confederate mobs attack advancing federal troops, Lincoln put MD under martial law.

Border States-Kentucky/Missouri Why was it important to keep both Missouri and Kentucky in the Union? Lincoln- “I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky.” Try this Civil War fans- Why are there thirteen stars on the Confederate flag?

Objective is to take the Manassas Gap and the Orange/Alexandria RR’s and destroy the Confederate Army. McDowell feels the Union is not ready, men poorly trained. Lincoln’s reply- “You are green it is true, but they are green also”

The Battle of First Bull Run (July 21, 1861) “There stands Jackson like a “stonewall”, rally around the Virginians”- Gen. Bernard Bee
