  • The Battle of Fort Sumter
    Task- Read the article & answer the analysis questions The Battle of Fort Sumter Fort Sumter by Unknown The Battle of Fort Sumter was the first battle of the American Civil War and signaled the start of the war. It took place over two days from April 12–13, 1861. Where is Fort Sumter? Fort Sumter is on an island in South Carolina not far from Charleston. Its main purpose was to guard Charleston Harbor. Who were the leaders in the battle? The main commander from the North was Major Robert Anderson. Even though he lost the Battle of Fort Sumter he became a national hero following the battle. He was even promoted to Brigadier General. The leader of the Southern forces was General P. T. Beauregard. General Beauregard was actually a student of Major Anderson's at the army school of West Point. Leading Up to the Battle The situation around Fort Sumter had become increasingly tense in the previous months. It began with South Carolina seceding from the Union and escalated with the formation of the Confederacy and the Confederate Army. The leader of the Confederate Army, General P.T. Beauregard, began building up his forces around the fort in Charleston Harbor. Major Anderson, the leader of the Union forces in Charleston, moved his men from Fort Moultrie to the more fortified island fort, Fort Sumter. However, because he was surrounded by the Confederate Army, he began to run out of food and fuel and needed supplies. The Confederation knew this and they were hoping that Major Anderson and his soldiers would leave South Carolina without a fight.

  • Girding for War: the North and the South – Big Picture Themes
    Chapter #20: Girding for War: The North and the South – Big Picture Themes 1. After Ft. Sumter started the war, keeping the border states were Abe’s top concern. These were slave states that hadn’t left the nation. Throughout the war, Abe would make concessions to “keep them happy.” The border states never left. 2. All along the South felt that England would help them. The idea was that King Cotton’s dominance would force the English into helping the Southerners. This never happened, largely because Uncle Tom’s Cabin had convinced the English people of slavery’s horrors. 3. The North had the advantage in almost every category: population, industry, money, navy. 4. Both sides turned to a draft, the nation’s first. The draft was very unpopular and many riots broke out. IDENTIFICATIONS: Election of 1860 set the stage for the Civil War. The nation had been divided throughout most of the 1850s on questions of expanding slavery and the rights of slave owners. In 1860, this issue finally came to a head, split the political system into four parties. The Democratic Party broke into Northern and Southern factions, and a new Constitutional Union Party appeared, The Republican Party was dominant in the North and won the electoral votes to put Abraham Lincoln in the White House with very little support from the South. The Southern response was declarations of secession by South Carolina and six other southern states, but secession was rejected as illegal by outgoing President James Buchanan and President-elect Lincoln. Eight other southern states did not secede before the Battle of Fort Sumter.

  • Confederate Rhetoric in the Healdsburg Squatter War
    The War of Words: Confederate Rhetoric in the Healdsburg Squatter War Michael Bret Davis UC Berkeley Abstract Although California was relatively unaffected by the destruction of the Civil War, Califor- nia’s new statehood and Gold Rush brought thousands of migrants from the war-torn areas. These migrants brought with them their ideologies—and sometimes their slaves. In northern Cal- ifornia’s Sonoma County, the battle of civil war ideologies was fought over land rights. Southern Squatters settled in Sonoma County, voted for the proslavery Democratic Party, sang Dixie, and after the start of the Civil War, fought off sheriffs and residents trying to remove them and their politics. In northern California, the rhetoric of the Civil War was played out in the “Healdsburg Squatter War.” Opportunistic landowners used the Civil War as a political, moral, and ideologi- cal weapon to eject Southern squatters from profitable Sonoma County lands. 1 The War of Words: Confederate Rhetoric in the Healdsburg Squatter War Michael Bret Davis UC Berkeley As the sound of footsteps carried through the warm summer’s night breeze, the moonlight bounced off the fields of swaying golden barley and guided the marching men. The eerie tran- quility contrasted with what was to come. Rumors were rampant that squatters were rising in arms to defend their land against the state.1 These marching “patriots” were ready to defend “their country’s rights.”2 In the early hours of June 12, 1862, under the command of the Sonoma County Sheriff J. M Bowles, 300 men from Petaluma, Santa Rosa, and surrounding Sonoma County cities set out to remove a group of squatters from a 160 acre encampment on the private- ly owned Fitch land grant in Healdsburg, California.3 Sixty squatters, armed with rifles, met the sheriff’s men at the gate.

Neely, Jr. McCabe-Greer Professor in the American Civil War Era Matthew J. Restall Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Colonial Latin American History, Anthropology, and Women‘s Studies Carla J. Mulford Associate Professor of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT During the four years of the American Civil War, the twenty-three states that comprised the Union initiated one of the most unprecedented social transformations in U.S. History, mobilizing the Union Army. Strangely, scholars have yet to explore Civil War mobilization in a comprehensive way. Mobilization was a multi-tiered process whereby local communities organized, officered, armed, equipped, and fed soldiers before sending them to the front. It was a four-year progression that required the simultaneous participation of legislative action, military administration, benevolent voluntarism, and industrial productivity to function properly. Perhaps more than any other area of the North, cities most dramatically felt the affects of this transition to war. Generally, scholars have given areas of the urban North low marks. Statistics refute pessimistic conclusions; northern cities appeared to provide a higher percentage than the North as a whole.

  • Secession 1. the Confederacy • Abraham Lincoln's Election As
    Secession 1. The Confederacy • Abraham Lincoln’s election as president in 1860 had a huge impact on the country. The Republicans said they would not stop slavery where it already existed, but the Southerners did not believe the Republicans would protect their rights. • On December 20,1860 South Carolina voted to secede (breakaway) from the Union. Soon after, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Georgia followed. They formed the Confederate States of America and chose Jefferson Davis as their president. • The first capital of the Confederate States of America (the Confederacy) was Montgomery, Alabama. The capital was moved to Richmond, Virginia after Virginia seceded. Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas joined the Confederacy after the Battle of Fort Sumter. • Border states were slave states that did not secede. They were Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. The border states were very important to the Northern strategy. The capital of the United States was located between Maryland (a slave state) and Virginia (part of the Confederacy) so it was very important that Maryland not secede. (See map.) 2. Ft. Sumter • Fort Sumter was a U.S. fort guarding Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. South Carolina had seceded and joined the Confederacy. That means that a Union (Northern) fort was located in the Confederacy. • President Lincoln received word that the fort needed supplies and that the Confederates demanded its surrender. • Lincoln promise to re-supply the fort. • Confederate President Jefferson Davis ordered his troops to attack the fort on April 12, 1861. • The Union surrendered the fort. The Civil War had begun. 3. Choosing Sides NORTH • The North had a larger population and more resources than the South.
