LO: I will be able to describe the election of 1860. Warm-up: What causes of the Civil War have we covered so far? HW: Boiling Point

7 Causes of the Civil War Sectionalism Territorial Disputes
The Debate Over Slavery Harper’s Ferry How did these four causes lead to the civil war? Which cause made the biggest impact in leading up to the Civil War and why?

8 Douglas: #3 Douglas and the Freeport Doctrine
The Freeport Doctrine—popular sovereignty would be used to decide if it was a free or slave territory.

9 Lincoln-Douglas Debate C.
The South did not support the Freeport Doctrine since it went against the Dred Scott decision.

10 Lincoln-Douglas D. The Lincoln Douglas debates helped Lincoln gain support and publicity.

11 Harper’s Ferry Pg 469 Brown was a radical abolitionist. He led an army of 21 men to Harpers Ferry, Virginia to capture a US arsenal.

12 Question to Think About
Harper’s Ferry Video Question to Think About What happened to John Brown after Harper’s Ferry? Was the raid a success?

13 What do you notice about the picture?

14 Harper’s Ferry Was Harper’s Ferry a success? Why?
Take two minutes in your group to discuss the answer. Make sure to provide evidence to support your answer

15 NORTH Most supported the raid on Harper’s Ferry, believing that it was the right thing to do. Many saw John Brown as a hero and were amazed that a White man was willing to risk his life to save Blacks. John Brown forced people to pick sides because he made slavery an issue that could no longer be ignored. Either you were for slavery or against it, you could no longer say that you don’t have an opinion. However, not everyone in the North agreed with John Brown. Some felt that he went too far and that murder and treason were not ways to solve the slavery issue. SOUTH Southerners were horrified that John Brown wanted to start a slave revolt in their region. Many saw John Brown as a dangerous man, even a terrorist who had to be stopped. The South was under the impression that all abolitionists were like John Brown. There was a real fear that thousands of John Browns would one day invade the South to start slave revolts. The South began to distrust the North and started to regularly train their militias in preparation for slave revolts.

16 Causes of the Civil War Sectionalism Territorial Disputes
The Debate Over Slavery Harper’s Ferry How did these four causes lead to the civil war? Which cause made the biggest impact in leading up to the Civil War and why?

17 Step 3

18 Platform A Party’s Platform is their political statement of beliefs
Slavery is the major political issue in the 1860 Presidential Election, how do you think this will affect political party platforms and how the nation votes?

19 #1. Split in the Democratic Party
Who did Lincoln run against in the 1856 Illinois Senate elections? How did Douglas believe the issue of slavery should be decided?

20 Northern Democrat Candidate: Stephen Douglas
The Northern Democrats ran on a platform that would use popular sovereignty to decide the issue of slavery.

21 Southern Democrat Candidate: John Breckinridge
The Southern Democrats supported slavery and wanted slavery to expand West. They believed slavery was a positive good and was split from the Northern Democrats since they did not provide the same support for slavery.

22 Republican The Republican party formed in response to the Kansas-Nebraska Act and was strengthened after people blamed the violence in Bleeding Kansas on democrats. Candidate: Abraham Lincoln The Republicans opposed the expansion of slavery, but did not want to abolish slavery where it already existed. Why would the Republicans allow slavery to remain where it already exist?

23 Constitutional Union Candidate: John Bell
The Constitutional Union wanted to keep the Union together by preventing sectional differences. What are the positives and negatives of this platform?

24 1860 Presidential Election
Which two candidates had the most extreme views of slavery? What were their views?

25 #3. Republican Victory as a threat
Read page The South saw a Republican victory as a threat to their way of life since they mistrusted Lincoln. The South believed the Republicans wanted to abolish slavery in the US. Why did the South believe the North wanted to abolish slavery? During the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Douglas falsely claimed the Republicans wanted to abolish slavery.

26 #4 and 5. How many electoral votes did Lincoln get
#4 and 5. How many electoral votes did Lincoln get? What percentage of the popular vote did Lincoln get? Lincoln received 180 of the electoral votes, and only the Northern and Western states voted for Lincoln. What do you notice about the 1860 Election results?

27

28 #5. Electoral Votes Why would the South be upset by a Republican victory? Lincoln did not receive a single vote from the South. The South felt they did not need to vote since the North’s population was so much larger than the South. Lincoln was not even on the ballot for the 1860 Presidential Election in 10 of the Southern States.

29 How do you think the South felt about the election?

30 Southern Secession Read pg 473 Step 3—Question 6 through 10
#6. The South threatened to secede from the Union if Lincoln won the 1860 Presidential Election. The South claimed that states’ rights gave them a right to succeed since they voluntarily joined the Union. President Buchanan was a weak leader who did nothing to prevent the Southern states secession from the Union.

31 #7-8. South Carolina-December 20, 1860 Mississippi-January 9, 1861 Florida-January 10, 1861 Alabama-January 11, 1861 Georgia-January 19, 1861 Louisiana-January 26, 1861 Texas-February 1, 1861

The two major differences were between the US Constitution and the CSA Constitution is that, the CSA Constitution supported: States Rights Slavery What does the CSA government look like? The CSA Constitution also gave the President a six year term

35 US and CSA Preamble US Constitution Preamble

36 #11. The North and Secession

37 #12-Book page 474

38 Lincoln’s Inaugural Address
Read page 475 #13 A. Lincoln addressed his speech to the Southern States. #13 B. During his Inaugural Address, Lincoln promised to: Not abolish slavery Not start a civil war, but the Union will fight if the South begins a war Hold onto all Union forts and territories

39 Lincoln’s Inaugural Address
I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so… The power confided in me, will be used to hold, occupy, and possess the property, and places belonging to the government; but beyond what may be necessary for these objects, there will be no invasion -- no using of force against, or among the people anywhere. Lincoln on the Fugitive Slave Law Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered by national or by State authority? The Constitution does not expressly say. May Congress prohibit slavery in the territories? The Constitution does not expressly say. Must Congress protect slavery in the territories. The Constitution does not expressly say.

40 Lincoln’s Inaugural Address
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you. You can have no conflict, without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect and defend" it.
