5. Lincoln’s Union March 4, 1861 – Lincoln’s Inauguration, 7 states seceded: TX, LA, MISS, ALA, GA, FL, SC Lincoln’s inaugural address: “Physically speaking, we cannot separate.” Why?

6. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/map_item.pl Charleston Harbor S.C.. Bombardment of Fort Sumter.

7. Ft. Sumter: Cause & Effects CAUSES: Geography: Fort was in mouth of harbor of Charleston, SC Time: Fort needed more provisions to hold on What was Lincoln’s dilemma??

8. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/map_item.pl Charleston Harbor S.C.. Bombardment of Fort Sumter.

9. Ft. Sumter April 12, 1861: Confederates bombard Ft. Sumter Federal garrison surrenders after 36 hours NORTH: unifies and settles in for a long fight volunteers enlist blockade begins SOUTH: Becomes aggressor boosts overconfidence BORDER STATES: First blood drawn by South - stay with the Union

10. Fort Sumter Flag Note that there are 33 stars. Why is that important?

11. Whose War? War for What? After Sumter: Who goes next? ARK, TENN, NC, AND VA Richmond, VA is capital of Confederacy BORDER STATES: MD, DEL, W.VA, KY, MO, Indian Territory What about West Virginia?? Lincoln suspends habeas corpus in MD – Baltimore is site of first blood spilt in war. Lincoln calls for 75,000 volunteers. Why such a small number?

13. Lincoln’s Cause: UNION, NOT ABOLITION. WHY? Lincoln cannot lose Southern Ohio, Indiana, & Illinois NOR the Border States! “I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game. Kentucky gone, we cannot hold Missouri, nor, I think, Maryland. These all against us. And the job on our hands is too large for us. We would as well consent to separation at once, including surrender of this capital.”

14. Unionists of East Tennessee swearing by the flag Like the citizens in western Virginia, people in eastern Tennessee remained faithful to the Union. Men like those shown here swore allegiance to the United States flag and tried to split the state in two--one rebel and the other loyal--but Confederate troops put a stop to their efforts.

15. The War comes to “Mobtown” Baltimore was nation’s 2 nd largest city at the time Baltimore was infamous in the US for its unruly mobs and riots Gangs ruled the city: Plug-uglies, Red Necks, Gladiators, Black Snakes, Blood Tubs and Spartans… The Know Nothings had utilized violence during the election year of 1855. Only 9% of Maryland had voted for Lincoln or Douglas. Lincoln traveled incognito through Baltimore on the way to his inauguration due to rumors of an assassination plot.

18. Trouble Brews… Marylanders were divided over both secession and Lincoln’s handling of Ft. Sumter (attacked on April 12 th ). Marylanders, like Virginians, found Lincoln’s April 14 th call for volunteers to “suppress” the rebellion deeply troubling, even provocative. Sixth Massachusetts Regiment answers Lincoln’s call for 90 Day volunteer enlistment. Five unarmed companies of Pennsylvania militiamen are set upon by mobs in Baltimore. Many soldiers are hurt. The mob focuses its attack on the one free black in uniform, slashing and stabbing him with knives Baltimore officials urge Lincoln to send no more troops through the city. http://www.citypaper.com/news/story.asp?id=3506

21. “Another Lexington” or another “Boston Massacre”? 6 th Mass. Leaves Boston on April 17 th and arrives in Baltimore April 19 th. An mob of approx. 5,000 Baltimoreans attack the militiamen. Many on both sides of fighting are wounded. 21 killed: (5soldiers). 100’s injured. Pvt. Luther Ladd, aged 17, hit in the head and shot while on the ground – dies of his wounds. Corporal Needham, shot in the neck and stomped to death by the mob. Last company to march sustains 25% casualties. Snipers fire at the train from Baltimore to Washington, DC THESE ARE THE FIRST TROOPS KILLED IN THE CIVIL WAR.

22. “The outbreak of April 19th was not the return of mob law as Northern papers say. The Unionists are roughs. It resulted from the irrepressible indignation of the people at seeing armed men pass over our soil to subjugate our brethren of the South.” - McHenry Howard (Baltimore secessionist)

26. AFTER EFFECTS On April 20 th the Governor, Mayor of Baltimore, and Police Commissioner order all bridges leading into the city destroyed. Lincoln censors all telegraph offices. Seizes transcript records. Suspected “traitors” and secessionists are arrested. September 1861: Lincoln suspends habeas corpus and orders the governor, mayor, chief of police, many prominent citizens, legislators, and newspapermen arrested. Most arrested are held in Fort McHenry and other northern forts for years, without trial. Baltimore is placed under martial law. Union troops occupy and fortify Federal Hill.

28. Union Artillery at Fort Federal Hill, Baltimore, 1862 Photographed by David Bachrach MHS Library, Special Collections Department “After the riots of 1861, Baltimore illustrated the nation’s divided sympathies. If you were for the Confederacy, it was an occupied city. If you favored the Union, General Butler and his troops were protecting the city from the rebels. Legend reports that the fort’s troops enjoyed pointing out to nervous locals that the cannons were aimed at the Washington Monument, located in the center of the city, in case of insurrection.” http://www.mdhs.org/library/MDF3.html#32
