    Timeline 1864

    CIVIL WAR TIMELINE 1864 January Radical Republicans are hostile to Lincoln’s policies, fearing that they do not provide sufficient protection for ex-slaves, that the 10% amnesty plan is not strict enough, and that Southern states should demonstrate more significant efforts to eradicate the slave system before being allowed back into the Union. Consequently, Congress refuses to recognize the governments of Southern states, or to seat their elected representatives. Instead, legislators begin to work on their own Reconstruction plan, which will emerge in July as the Wade-Davis Bill. [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/reconstruction/states/sf_timeline.html] [http://www.blackhistory.harpweek.com/4Reconstruction/ReconTimeline.htm] Congress now understands the Confederacy to be the face of a deeply rooted cultural system antagonistic to the principles of a “free labor” society. Many fear that returning home rule to such a system amounts to accepting secession state by state and opening the door for such malicious local legislation as the Black Codes that eventually emerge.

    Student Handout 3-Burning of Chambersburg--Behind the Marker

    Student Handout 3-Burning of Chambersburg--Behind the Marker When Chambersburg residents learned on the morning of July 30, 1864 that yet another Confederate cavalry raid was approaching their city, most people were not overly concerned. Rebels had occupied the city in October 1862 and again in June 1863, soon before the Battle of Gettysburg. On both occasions Southern troops had behaved reasonably well, although they had burned military supplies and railroad equipment during Jeb Stuart's raid of 1862. But this time would be different. Eighteen sixty four was an election year, and Union armies, after making steady progress in Virginia and Georgia, seemed to be stalemated by the Confederates. President Lincoln feared, with good reason, that he would not be re-elected if his generals failed to provide military victories. And in the Shenandoah Valley, Jubal Early's troops had recently defeated Union General David Hunter's forces, then managed to approach the forts defending Washington D.C. before falling back in the face of Union reinforcements. Earlier that summer, General Hunter had permitted his troops to loot and burn private property in the Valley. To retaliate, General Early came to the conclusion that “it was time to open the eyes of the people of the North to this enormity, by example in the way of retaliation.” Early decided that Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, would be the object of his retribution. First though, he would give its residents the chance to hand over $100,000 in gold or $500,000 in currency to compensate people in the Valley for the loss of their homes.
