“A new birth of freedom…” Civil War Wrap Up
Spark 7 • What was the Emancipation Proclamation? • Jan 1 1863, slaves in areas of rebellion against Union would be free • What was Lincoln’s position? Effects of the E.P.? • Quote on p. 171. Ends to a means. • Effects-none at first, border states unaffected, criticism from both camps in north, Europe applauds and ends chance France or G.B. will help South • For African Americans-southern slaves escape, northern free men join Union Army • How did the E.P. change the nature of the war? • All of sudden key goal of war is eradicating slavery, gave Northerners a crusade
1865 • 13th Amendment • Abolishes slavery-entire Union • p. 190 • Petersburg • Lee abandons Petersburg and later Richmond • Supplies are rapidly dwindling!! • Richmond • Grant follows Lee and destroys Richmond-Lincoln later visits
1865 • Appomattox • Lee is cornered by two Union armies • Surrenders at Appomattox courthouse (Wilmer Mclean), asks other CSA groups to lay down arms • Terms are kind: not punished as traitors, fed by Union • Union celebrates-Grant stops them- “the rebels are our countrymen again.” • Assassination • A few days after surrender Lincoln killed at Ford’s theater by John Wilkes Booth (“deadliest bullet of the war”) • Question: Why the deadliest bullet of the war?
“A new birth of freedom…” • 1. Take a guess-how long is “4 score and 7 years ago” ?? • 2. Guess-how long was Lincoln’s speech at Gettysburg? • 3. Who was the “featured” speaker at Gettysburg dedication?
