The Civil War and the Port Royal Experiment
Almost Emancipated: The Civil War and the Port Royal Experiment OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How does the Union occupation of Port Royal highlight the complex issues behind the Civil War? OVERVIEW In this lesson, students learn about the Civil War and the Port Royal Experiment, a military reconstruction effort that demonstrates the possibilities that existed for the full citizenship and participation in society of newly freed African American populations in the Southern states. They will also consider the role the Sacred Song tradition of the Gullah/Geechee people who reside in the area surrounding Port Royal might have had during this moment in history. The Gullah/Geechee are the unique African American inhabitants of the coastal Lowcountry of South Carolina and the Sea Islands, a 250-mile stretch of barrier islands on the coast of South Carolina and Georgia. Due to the relative geographic isolation of the islands, Gullah/Geechee culture remains a distinct microcosm of African American culture and history. Together with the Gullah/Geechee language and a sweetgrass basket weaving tradition, the culture is defined by its sacred song tradition. The community also shares a unique history, as the Sea Islands were the site of significant military and political developments during the Civil War. While neither the Confederacy nor the Union declared the Civil War to be a war specifically about slavery, it is clearly the matter that drove the United States to war. The South went to war to preserve slavery. But the North did not go to war to end slavery; rather to preserve the Union. In a letter to Abolitionist Horace Greeley dated August 22 1862, Lincoln wrote, “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.

Restoring the Proclamation: Abraham Lincoln, Confiscation, and Emancipation in the Civil War Era Abstract Like the business cycle, the reputations of great actors in history seem to go through alternating periods of boom and bust. Harry Truman was scorned in his day as an incompetent bumbler. A half-century later, he is regarded as a gutsy and principled president. Andrew Jackson was hailed as the champion of the common man and the enemy of power-mad bankers. Since the 1970s, he has become the champion only of the White man, a rancid hater of Indians, and a leering political monstrosity.

He Opposed Abolitionist Activism in the South and West
BUCHANAN, DRED SCOTT, AND THE ELECTION OF 1860 Buchanan tried to maintain the status quo He opposed abolitionist activism in the South and West The crisis over slavery escalated when the Supreme Court ruled in the Dred Scott case A former slave whose master had taken him to territories where slavery was illegal, declared himself a free man and sued for his freedom The case finally wound up in the Supreme Court, where Scott lost Chief Justice Roger Taney who wrote the majority decision Taney's proslavery decision declared that slaves were property, not citizens and further, that no black person could ever be a citizen of the United States Taney argued they could not sue in federal courts, as Scott had done Moreover, he ruled that Congress could not regulate slavery in the territories, as it had in the Missouri Compromise Taney essentially told Republicans that their goal -freedom for slaves in the territories- was illegal. In the North, the Supreme Court decision was viciously denounced. Meanwhile, the Democratic party was dividing along regional lines, raising the possibility that the Republicans might soon control the national government When it came time for the Democrats to choose their 1860 presidential candidate, their convention split. Northern Democrats backed Stephen Douglas, Southerners backed John Breckinridge A new party centered in the Upper South, the Constitutional Union party, nominated John Bell The Republicans nominated Abraham Lincoln Lincoln attracted 40 percent of the vote and won the election in the House of H/O Political

(April-July 1861) “I Have Desired As Sincerely As Any
Chapter Twenty-three “I Intend to Give Blows”: The Hundred Days (April-July 1861) “I have desired as sincerely as any man – I sometimes think more than any other man – that our present difficulties might be settled without the shedding of blood,” Lincoln remarked to a group of ersatz soldiers in late April. The “last hope of peace may not have passed away. But if I have to choose between the maintenance of the union of these states, and of the liberties of this nation, on the one hand, and the shedding of fraternal blood on the other, you need not be at a loss which course I shall take.”1 Little did he and most of his contemporaries realize how much fraternal blood would flow in order to save that Union and preserve those liberties; 620,000 soldiers and sailors (360,000 Union, 260,000 Confederate), including some of Lincoln’s closest friends, would die over the next four years. The total equaled the number of deaths in all other American wars combined, from the Revolution through the Korean War. One of those who failed to realize how bloody the war would become was Edwin M. Stanton, who on April 8 told John A. Dix: “I do not think peaceful relations will 1 This is a conflation of two versions of these remarks, one from the Perryville correspondence, 28 April, New York World, 29 April 1861, and the other from the New York Tribune, 1 May 1861, reproduced in Roy P.
