  2. Bull Run • July 21, 1861 • Northerners reasons for the march to Bull Run • Wanted to get to Richmond • Southerners heard about it from a traitor

  3. Bull Run • People thought that it would not be bloody • Union was winning in the beginning • There were tons of people after the war who were injured or dead

  4. Northern and Southern Strategies • North was free states • South was enslaved • Lincoln only enforced the abolishment of slavery in the Northern states • Lincoln’s strategy ( writing the Emancipation Proclamation) was more effective because it got political voices involved. • January first, 1863. On this date, any state/part of state that hadn’t finished or accomplished their rebellion with the union would have slaves freed. • This angered Southerners and Democrats. But made anti- slavery forces excited and energized.

  5. Battle of Antietam • Antietam was fought in Sharpsburg, Maryland near Antietam Creek on September 17, 1862 • Part of the “Maryland Campaign” • Antietam was the bloodiest single day in the Civil War, with a combined dead, wounded, and missing at 22,717 • The Union Army of Potomac fought the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia • Fighting did not continue the next day and Lee retreated across the Potomac along with his men

  6. Effects of the Battle • The battle of Antietam was crucial and sometimes considered a turning point in the war • It provided the Union with a victory it needed • Five days after the battle, Sept. 22 1862, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation

  7. Role of the Border States • Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware • They were bitterly divided about secession • Were not eager to leave the Union • Virginia had decided to be Confederates • Part of Virginia broke off ~ West Virginia • Kentucky proclaimed itself neutral, citizens were equally balanced • Missouri Constitutional Convention~ Union state, did not fight the south

  8. Border States (continued) • Missouri in 1861 became a Confederate State • Delaware was a Union state, but didn’t want war • Maryland chose to be a Union State

  9. The Border States

  10. The Emancipation Proclamation ~ “That all mankind should be free” • Lincoln didn’t want the border states to get mad at the union and secessed out of the union. So he didn’t abolish slavery in those states. • Now, Lincoln was not necessarily an abolitionist, but he did not like slavery as a thought. • Abraham Lincoln accepted slavery though, meaning he let the slaves do what they needed to do and didn’t get in the way of them. • He personally thought that slavery would die a “natural death” and would just go away over time.
