Why Were The Border States Important? • Border states were states that were slaves states but had chosen to remain a part of the union • The presence of the states and their display of loyalty to the Union was the main reason Lincoln didn’t talk about slavery initially as the goal of the Civil War • Not only was loyalty important but also their position and location was crucial to the Union as well

  13. Frederick Douglass • Frederick Douglass writes “Men of Color, To Arms!” urging African Americans to join the Army. • “…The case is before you. This is our golden opportunity. Let us accept it, and forever wipe out the dark reproaches unsparingly hurled against us by our enemies. Let us win for ourselves the gratitude of our country, and the best blessings of our posterity through all time…”
