1862: Antietam and Emancipation

The War So Far

Union and Confederate Strategies Union 3 Part Plan The Anaconda Plan – Blockade Southern ports – Move down the Mississippi river and split Confederacy in two – Capture the Confederate capital What advantages did each side have? Battle of Bull Run July 21, 1861 – First Confederate victory – Led by Stonewall Jackson

Union Armies in the West Lincoln appoints George McLellan to lead Union army February General Ulysses S. Grant (Union) captured Forts Henry and Donelson in western Tennessee April 6, Battle of Shiloh – Confederate troops surprise attached Union troops – Union able to counterattack – High casualties, allows Union to push its way toward Mississippi River

“On to Richmond” McClellan transports troops in spring of 1862 “Seven Days Battle” – June 25- July 1, 1862 – General Robert E. Lee able to hold off Union Lee moves onto Union capital – 2 nd Battle of Bull Run – Confederate troops win and move into Maryland

The War So Far The Confederacy was hoping that Great Britain and France might help them in the war, giving the Confederacy an advantage.

The War So Far What is the war about? Preserving the Union or Freeing the Slaves?

The War So Far Reasons a Victory was Needed: – Lincoln wanted to show that his government was strong and could support or “back up” the proclamation. – Lincoln didn’t want it to appear that his government was weak, and that he was asking the slaves to rebel against their masters.

Antietam September 17, 1862

Antietam Activity As a group read the Battle of Antietam Summary.

Antietam September 1862 Confederate Army led by Robert E. Lee Lee and McClellan face off at Antietam – Lee and troops retreat, McClellan doesn’t follow -Lincoln fires McClellan Nov. 7, 1862

Emancipation

His first challenge was that the U.S. Constitution did not prohibit slavery. Individual states could outlaw slavery, but not the U.S. Government.

Emancipation Lincoln used his background as a lawyer to come up with a solution more or less based on the following questions that I would like you to answer:

Emancipation Question: How did slave owners legally consider their slaves (and horses, buildings, etc…)?

Emancipation Answer: Slaves were considered to be property.

Emancipation Question: What happens to property that armies capture from their enemy during a war? Image courtesy Library of Congress

Emancipation Answer: The property captured (called contraband) belongs to the army that captured it and its government.

Emancipation Activity Look at your excerpt from the Emancipation Proclamation. Let’s read the second paragraph together. Image courtesy Library of Congress

Emancipation The war was no longer just about preserving the union, it was also about freeing the slaves.

Emancipation

United States Colored Troops

In the Emancipation Proclamation Lincoln addressed the enlistment of African Americans in the United States armed forces. Activity In paragraph #8 Lincoln discusses them being accepted into the military. Let’s read it together. Image courtesy Library of Congress

United States Colored Troops Activity Let’s read an excerpts from General Order 143, which created the “United States Colored Troops” (USCT). Image courtesy National Archives

United States Colored Troops Question: What do you think were some advantages for the United States in having African Americans serve in the military?

United States Colored Troops Answer: African Americans joined the United States military in large numbers. Which led to a larger army, one of the deciding factors in the United States defeating the Confederacy.

Key items to remember from today’s lesson The “bloodiest” day in American history was the Battle of Antietam, Maryland. The Union “victory” at Antietam allowed President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Great Britain and France remained neutral and did not enter the war on the side of the Confederacy. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in the Confederate States (Eventually all states would free their slaves) With African Americans joining the armed forces, the United States had a greater advantage over the Confederate States because of its number of soldiers and sailors.
