Notes on Introduction to the Civil War CLASS 1/6/09

True compromises are always really difficult because no side gets everything they want.

We compromised over slavery when the Constitution was written. Obama and the Congress will have to make compromises to get things done in 2009. No one will be really happy with the outcome.

The Civil War, from 1861-1865, was avoided for a long time because of compromises. If we had gone to war earlier, the North might not have won.

Study the COMPROMISES

1. Missouri Compromise (1820), pp. 323-4 (AJ)
2. Compromise of 1850, pp. 438-9 + map, p. 443

Part of the Compromise of 1850 included the Fugitive Slave Act, p. 441

3. Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854), p. 442 + map, p. 443

Results of Breakdown of Compromise:

1. Bleeding Kansas, p. 444
2. Violence in Congress, p. 444

Two sides in Civil War:

The Union

The Confederate States of America

Although Lincoln was not pro-slavery, he ran on a platform against the EXPANSION of slavery, not its ABOLITION.

Lincoln ran for president in 1860 and took office in 1861. Not one Southern state voted for him; when he won, the South seceded (left) the United States.

The Civil War began as a struggle to PRESERVE THE UNION.

After the EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION, it emerged as a struggle for FREEDOM, a war TO END SLAVERY.

HW due Tue., 1/6
