Civil War Politics

Great Britain’s Position “You have no friends in Europe….The sentiment of Europe is anti-slavery, and that portion opinion which forms, and is represented by, the government of Great Britain, is abolition. They will never recognize our Independence until our conquering sword hangs dripping over our prostrate heads of the North….It is an error to say that ‘Cotton is King.’ it is not. It is a great and influential factor in commerce, but not its dictator.” Alabama diplomat William Yancy that met with British report.

Emancipation Proclamation The Proclamation freed the slaves in all the Confederate States (but not until they get freed by Union victory). It does add many soldiers to the effort from freed slaves. It allowed Lincoln to gain support of Great Britain and add morality to the war effort. Jan The South is now drawn into a fight to the death!

Dilemmas facing the North. North Lincoln uses a writ of Habeas Corpus (allows arrested to stay in jail indefinitely without charges) in Maryland first, and later in other riot areas in the North). Lincoln ceases the telegraph lines so that only information the Army wants over them is permitted. Union drafts all white men between 20 and 45 years old. It allows a person to pay $300 to avoid the draft and it also allows a person to pay for a substitute.

Dilemmas facing the South Used a writ of Habeas Corpus in the Confederacy to stop uprisings after earlier criticizing Lincoln’s use of it Draft: all able bodied white men between years old (later in 1864 as soldiers were needed).
