  1. The Civil War Overview

  2. The Emergence of Lincoln • Education • Political Career • Effectiveness

  3. The Storm Gathers • The Deep South Secedes

  4. The Failure of Compromise • Crittenden Compromise • Extended Missouri line • Federal compensation To do so would mean “A victorious presidential candidate cannot be inaugurated till he betrays those who elected him by breaking his pledges, and surrendering to those who tried and failed to defeat him at the polls.” Making such a concession would mean that “this government is already at an end.”

  5. And the War Came Lincoln’s rules: Defend federal forts Shifted the burden of hostility Fort Sumter

  6. The North (Union) • Firing on Fort Sumter evoked strong feelings of patriotism and dedication to the Union • Assumed the war would be short and not very bloody • Believed the Union was indivisible (secession should not be allowed) • Believed slavery to be an unjust institution

  7. The South (Confederacy) • The North provoked the South into firing the first shot. • Confederacy now moved its capital from Montgomery to Richmond, Va. • Concern about the future of slavery had driven the Deep South to secede. • War was less as a struggle over slavery than as a contest to determine whether secession was constitutional or not.
