1820ndash1861Why It Matters

Slavery was a major cause of the worsening division between the North and South in theperiod before the Civil War The struggle between the North and South turned more hostile

and talk grew of separation and civil war

The Impact TodayldquoIf slavery is not wrong nothing is wrongrdquo Abraham Lincoln wrote in a letter to AG

Hodges in 1864 By studying this era of our history we can better understand the state ofracial relations today and develop ways for improving them

Poster warning African Americans

ldquoThe deed is done The chains of slavery are forged for [many] yet unbornHumble yourselves in the dust ye high-minded citizens of Connecticut Let your cheeksbe red as crimson On your representatives rests the stigma of this foul disgracerdquo Thesebiting fiery words were published in a Connecticut newspaper in 1820 They were inresponse to members of Congress who had helped pave the way for the admission ofMissouri as a slaveholding state

The Missouri CompromiseThe request by slaveholding Missouri to join the Union in 1819 caused an

angry debate that worried former president Thomas Jefferson and Secretary ofState John Quincy Adams Jefferson called the dispute ldquoa fire-bell in the nightrdquothat ldquoawakened and filled me with terrorrdquo Adams accurately predicted that thebitter debate was ldquoa mere preamblemdasha title-page to a great tragic volumerdquo

Many Missouri settlers had brought enslaved African Americans into the ter-ritory with them By 1819 the Missouri Territory included about 50000 whites

and 10000 slaves When Missouri applied toCongress for admission as a state its constitu-tion allowed slavery

In 1819 11 states permitted slavery and 11did not The Senatemdashwith two members fromeach statemdashwas therefore evenly balancedbetween slave and free states The admission ofa new state would upset that balance

In addition the North and the South withtheir different economic systems were compet-ing for new lands in the western territories Atthe same time a growing number of Northern-ers wanted to restrict or ban slavery Southern-ers even those who disliked slavery opposedthese antislavery efforts They resented theinterference by outsiders in Southernersrsquo affairsThese differences between the North and theSouth grew into sectionalismmdashan exaggeratedloyalty to a particular region of the country

Clayrsquos ProposalThe Senate suggested a way to resolve the cri-

sis by allowing Missourirsquos admittance as a slavestate while simultaneously admitting Maine as afree state Maine formerly part of Massachu-setts had also applied for admission to theUnion The Senate also sought to settle the issueof slavery in the territories for good It proposedprohibiting slavery in the remainder of theLouisiana Purchase north of 36ordm30rsquoN latitude

Speaker of the House Henry Clay of Ken-tucky skillfully maneuvered the Senate bill topassage in 1820 by dividing it into three propos-als The Missouri Compromise preserved thebalance between slave and freestates in the Senate and broughtabout a lull in the bitter debate inCongress over slavery

Explaining What issectionalism

New Western LandsFor the next 25 years Congress

managed to keep the slavery issue inthe background In the 1840s how-ever this heated debate moved back

into Congress Once again the cause of the dis-pute was the issue of slavery in new territoriesThe territories involved were Texas which hadwon its independence from Mexico in 1836 andNew Mexico and California which were stillpart of Mexico

Many Southerners hoped to see Texas whereslavery already existed join the Union As aresult the annexation of Texas became themain issue in the presidential election of 1844Democrat James Polk of Tennessee won theelection and pressed forward on acquiringTexas and Texas became a state in 1845 At thesame time support for taking over New Mex-ico and California also grew in the South Thefederal governmentrsquos actions on these lands ledto war with Mexico

Conflicting ViewsJust months after the Mexican War began

Representative David Wilmot of Pennsylvaniaintroduced a proposal in Congress Called theWilmot Proviso it specified that slavery shouldbe prohibited in any lands that might beacquired from Mexico Southerners protestedfuriously They wanted to keep open the possi-bility of introducing slavery to California andNew Mexico

Senator John C Calhoun of South Carolinacountered with another proposal It stated thatneither Congress nor any territorial governmenthad the authority to ban slavery from a territoryor regulate it in any way

Neither Wilmotrsquos nor Calhounrsquos proposalpassed but both caused bitter debate By thetime of the 1848 presidential election the UnitedStates had gained the territories of Californiaand New Mexico from Mexico but had taken noaction on the issue of slavery in those areas

The Free-Soil PartyThe debate over slavery led to the formation

of a new political party In 1848 the Whigs choseZachary Taylor a Southerner and a hero of theMexican War as their presidential candidateThe Democrats selected Senator Lewis Cass ofMichigan Neither candidate took a stand onslavery in the territories

This failure to take a position angered votersMany antislavery Democrats and Whigs lefttheir parties and joined with members of theold Liberty Party to form the Free-Soil PartyThe new party proclaimed ldquoFree Soil FreeSpeech Free Labor and Free Menrdquo andendorsed the Wilmot Proviso The party nomi-nated former president Martin Van Buren asits presidential candidate

Whig candidate Zachary Taylor won the elec-tion by successfully appealing to both slave andfree states Taylor defeated Cass 163 to 127 in elec-toral votes Van Buren captured only 14 percent ofthe popular vote in the North but several candi-dates of the Free-Soil Party won seats in Congress

CaliforniaOnce in office President Taylor urged leaders

in the two territories of California and NewMexico to apply for statehood immediatelyOnce these lands had become states he rea-soned their citizens could decide whether toallow slavery New Mexico did not apply forstatehood but California did in 1850

Taylorrsquos plan ran into trouble when Califor-niarsquos statehood became tangled up with otherissues before Congress Antislavery forceswanted to abolish slavery in the District ofColumbia the nationrsquos capital Southernerswanted a strong national law requiring states to return fugitive or runaway slaves to theirmasters Another dispute involved the NewMexicondashTexas border

The greatest obstacle to Taylorrsquos plan wasconcern over the balance of power in the SenateIn 1849 the nation included 15 slave states and15 free states If California entered as a freestatemdashand New Mexico Oregon and Utah fol-lowed as free states which seemed likelymdashtheSouth would be hopelessly outvoted in the Sen-ate As tension grew some Southerners begantalking about having their states secede from orleave the United States

Explaining How was John C Calhounrsquos proposal different from the Wilmot Proviso

A New CompromiseIn January 1850 Henry Clay now a senator

presented a multi-part plan to settle all the issuesdividing Congress First California would beadmitted as a free state Second the New MexicoTerritory would have no restrictions on slaveryThird the New MexicondashTexas border disputewould be settled in favor of New Mexico Fourththe slave trade but not slavery itself would beabolished in the District of Columbia FinallyClay pushed for a stronger fugitive slave law

Clayrsquos proposal launched an emotional debatein Congress that raged for seven months Open-ing that debate were Clay and two other distin-guished senatorsmdashJohn C Calhoun of SouthCarolina and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts

Government Create a poster forthe Free-Soil Party presidential can-didate Include slogans or symbolsto gain popular support

Calhoun opposed Clayrsquos plan He believedthat the only way to save the Union was to pro-tect slavery If Congress admitted California as afree state Calhoun warned the Southern stateshad to leave the Union

Three days later Webster gave an eloquentspeech in support of Clayrsquos plan He argued thatantislavery forces lost little in agreeing to thecompromise

ldquoI would rather hear of natural blasts andmildews war pestilence and famine than tohear gentlemen talk of secessionrdquo

Webster reasoned that geography would pre-vent slavery from taking root in the new territo-ries since most of the land was not suited forplantations What was most important was topreserve the Union

The Compromise of 1850Clayrsquos plan could not pass as a complete pack-

age Too many members of Congress objected toone part of it or another President Taylor alsoopposed the plan and threatened to use forceagainst the South if states tried to secede

Then in July President Taylor suddenly diedThe new president Millard Fillmore supportedsome form of compromise At the same timeStephen A Douglas a young senator from Illi-nois took charge of efforts to resolve the crisisDouglas divided Clayrsquos plan into a series of

measures that Congress could vote on sepa-rately In this way members of Congress wouldnot have to support proposals they opposed

President Fillmore persuaded several Whigrepresentatives to abstainmdashnot to cast votesmdashonmeasures they opposed Congress finally passeda series of five separate bills in August and Sep-tember of 1850 Taken together these lawsknown as the Compromise of 1850 containedthe five main points of Clayrsquos original plan Fill-more called the compromise a ldquofinal settlementrdquoof the conflict between North and South Thepresident would soon be proved wrong

Explaining How did the Compro-mise of 1850 affect the New Mexico Territory

Like Zachary Taylor did most presidents make themilitary their profession Some presidents did makethe military their principal profession WashingtonWilliam Henry Harrison Grant and Eisenhower as wellas Taylor all made a career in the military Howevermore presidents came from the ranks of attorneys thanfrom any other profession More than half of all presi-dents including Jefferson and Lincoln made their livingin the practice of law

Writer Harriet BeecherStowe called the FugitiveSlave Act a ldquonightmareabominationrdquo Stowe thedaughter of a New Eng-land minister spent partof her childhood inCincinnati There on thebanks of the Ohio Rivershe saw enslaved peoplebeing loaded onto shipsto be taken to slave mar-kets As an adult and the

wife of a religion profes-sor she wrote manybooks and stories aboutsocial reform Her mostfamous work was a novelabout the evils of slaveryUncle Tomrsquos Cabin waspublished in 1852Packed with dramaticincidents and vivid char-acters the novel showsslavery as a cruel andbrutal system

Uncle Tomrsquos Cabinquickly became a sensa-tion selling over 300000copies in the first year ofpublication The book hadsuch an impact on publicfeelings about slaverythat when Abraham Lin-coln was introduced toStowe during the CivilWar he said so youldquowrote the book thatstarted this great warrdquo

Resistance to the LawIn spite of the penalties many Northerners

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

made itrdquomdashStephen Douglas

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

Learning From History

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

1820ndash1861Why It Matters

Slavery was a major cause of the worsening division between the North and South in theperiod before the Civil War The struggle between the North and South turned more hostile

and talk grew of separation and civil war

The Impact TodayldquoIf slavery is not wrong nothing is wrongrdquo Abraham Lincoln wrote in a letter to AG

Hodges in 1864 By studying this era of our history we can better understand the state ofracial relations today and develop ways for improving them

The Missouri CompromiseThe request by slaveholding Missouri to join the Union in 1819 caused an

angry debate that worried former president Thomas Jefferson and Secretary ofState John Quincy Adams Jefferson called the dispute ldquoa fire-bell in the nightrdquothat ldquoawakened and filled me with terrorrdquo Adams accurately predicted that thebitter debate was ldquoa mere preamblemdasha title-page to a great tragic volumerdquo

Many Missouri settlers had brought enslaved African Americans into the ter-ritory with them By 1819 the Missouri Territory included about 50000 whites

and 10000 slaves When Missouri applied toCongress for admission as a state its constitu-tion allowed slavery

In 1819 11 states permitted slavery and 11did not The Senatemdashwith two members fromeach statemdashwas therefore evenly balancedbetween slave and free states The admission ofa new state would upset that balance

In addition the North and the South withtheir different economic systems were compet-ing for new lands in the western territories Atthe same time a growing number of Northern-ers wanted to restrict or ban slavery Southern-ers even those who disliked slavery opposedthese antislavery efforts They resented theinterference by outsiders in Southernersrsquo affairsThese differences between the North and theSouth grew into sectionalismmdashan exaggeratedloyalty to a particular region of the country

Clayrsquos ProposalThe Senate suggested a way to resolve the cri-

sis by allowing Missourirsquos admittance as a slavestate while simultaneously admitting Maine as afree state Maine formerly part of Massachu-setts had also applied for admission to theUnion The Senate also sought to settle the issueof slavery in the territories for good It proposedprohibiting slavery in the remainder of theLouisiana Purchase north of 36ordm30rsquoN latitude

Speaker of the House Henry Clay of Ken-tucky skillfully maneuvered the Senate bill topassage in 1820 by dividing it into three propos-als The Missouri Compromise preserved thebalance between slave and freestates in the Senate and broughtabout a lull in the bitter debate inCongress over slavery

Explaining What issectionalism

New Western LandsFor the next 25 years Congress

managed to keep the slavery issue inthe background In the 1840s how-ever this heated debate moved back

into Congress Once again the cause of the dis-pute was the issue of slavery in new territoriesThe territories involved were Texas which hadwon its independence from Mexico in 1836 andNew Mexico and California which were stillpart of Mexico

Many Southerners hoped to see Texas whereslavery already existed join the Union As aresult the annexation of Texas became themain issue in the presidential election of 1844Democrat James Polk of Tennessee won theelection and pressed forward on acquiringTexas and Texas became a state in 1845 At thesame time support for taking over New Mex-ico and California also grew in the South Thefederal governmentrsquos actions on these lands ledto war with Mexico

Conflicting ViewsJust months after the Mexican War began

Representative David Wilmot of Pennsylvaniaintroduced a proposal in Congress Called theWilmot Proviso it specified that slavery shouldbe prohibited in any lands that might beacquired from Mexico Southerners protestedfuriously They wanted to keep open the possi-bility of introducing slavery to California andNew Mexico

Senator John C Calhoun of South Carolinacountered with another proposal It stated thatneither Congress nor any territorial governmenthad the authority to ban slavery from a territoryor regulate it in any way

Neither Wilmotrsquos nor Calhounrsquos proposalpassed but both caused bitter debate By thetime of the 1848 presidential election the UnitedStates had gained the territories of Californiaand New Mexico from Mexico but had taken noaction on the issue of slavery in those areas

The Free-Soil PartyThe debate over slavery led to the formation

of a new political party In 1848 the Whigs choseZachary Taylor a Southerner and a hero of theMexican War as their presidential candidateThe Democrats selected Senator Lewis Cass ofMichigan Neither candidate took a stand onslavery in the territories

This failure to take a position angered votersMany antislavery Democrats and Whigs lefttheir parties and joined with members of theold Liberty Party to form the Free-Soil PartyThe new party proclaimed ldquoFree Soil FreeSpeech Free Labor and Free Menrdquo andendorsed the Wilmot Proviso The party nomi-nated former president Martin Van Buren asits presidential candidate

Whig candidate Zachary Taylor won the elec-tion by successfully appealing to both slave andfree states Taylor defeated Cass 163 to 127 in elec-toral votes Van Buren captured only 14 percent ofthe popular vote in the North but several candi-dates of the Free-Soil Party won seats in Congress

CaliforniaOnce in office President Taylor urged leaders

in the two territories of California and NewMexico to apply for statehood immediatelyOnce these lands had become states he rea-soned their citizens could decide whether toallow slavery New Mexico did not apply forstatehood but California did in 1850

Taylorrsquos plan ran into trouble when Califor-niarsquos statehood became tangled up with otherissues before Congress Antislavery forceswanted to abolish slavery in the District ofColumbia the nationrsquos capital Southernerswanted a strong national law requiring states to return fugitive or runaway slaves to theirmasters Another dispute involved the NewMexicondashTexas border

The greatest obstacle to Taylorrsquos plan wasconcern over the balance of power in the SenateIn 1849 the nation included 15 slave states and15 free states If California entered as a freestatemdashand New Mexico Oregon and Utah fol-lowed as free states which seemed likelymdashtheSouth would be hopelessly outvoted in the Sen-ate As tension grew some Southerners begantalking about having their states secede from orleave the United States

Explaining How was John C Calhounrsquos proposal different from the Wilmot Proviso

A New CompromiseIn January 1850 Henry Clay now a senator

presented a multi-part plan to settle all the issuesdividing Congress First California would beadmitted as a free state Second the New MexicoTerritory would have no restrictions on slaveryThird the New MexicondashTexas border disputewould be settled in favor of New Mexico Fourththe slave trade but not slavery itself would beabolished in the District of Columbia FinallyClay pushed for a stronger fugitive slave law

Clayrsquos proposal launched an emotional debatein Congress that raged for seven months Open-ing that debate were Clay and two other distin-guished senatorsmdashJohn C Calhoun of SouthCarolina and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts

Government Create a poster forthe Free-Soil Party presidential can-didate Include slogans or symbolsto gain popular support

Calhoun opposed Clayrsquos plan He believedthat the only way to save the Union was to pro-tect slavery If Congress admitted California as afree state Calhoun warned the Southern stateshad to leave the Union

Three days later Webster gave an eloquentspeech in support of Clayrsquos plan He argued thatantislavery forces lost little in agreeing to thecompromise

ldquoI would rather hear of natural blasts andmildews war pestilence and famine than tohear gentlemen talk of secessionrdquo

Webster reasoned that geography would pre-vent slavery from taking root in the new territo-ries since most of the land was not suited forplantations What was most important was topreserve the Union

The Compromise of 1850Clayrsquos plan could not pass as a complete pack-

age Too many members of Congress objected toone part of it or another President Taylor alsoopposed the plan and threatened to use forceagainst the South if states tried to secede

Then in July President Taylor suddenly diedThe new president Millard Fillmore supportedsome form of compromise At the same timeStephen A Douglas a young senator from Illi-nois took charge of efforts to resolve the crisisDouglas divided Clayrsquos plan into a series of

measures that Congress could vote on sepa-rately In this way members of Congress wouldnot have to support proposals they opposed

President Fillmore persuaded several Whigrepresentatives to abstainmdashnot to cast votesmdashonmeasures they opposed Congress finally passeda series of five separate bills in August and Sep-tember of 1850 Taken together these lawsknown as the Compromise of 1850 containedthe five main points of Clayrsquos original plan Fill-more called the compromise a ldquofinal settlementrdquoof the conflict between North and South Thepresident would soon be proved wrong

Writer Harriet BeecherStowe called the FugitiveSlave Act a ldquonightmareabominationrdquo Stowe thedaughter of a New Eng-land minister spent partof her childhood inCincinnati There on thebanks of the Ohio Rivershe saw enslaved peoplebeing loaded onto shipsto be taken to slave mar-kets As an adult and the

wife of a religion profes-sor she wrote manybooks and stories aboutsocial reform Her mostfamous work was a novelabout the evils of slaveryUncle Tomrsquos Cabin waspublished in 1852Packed with dramaticincidents and vivid char-acters the novel showsslavery as a cruel andbrutal system

Uncle Tomrsquos Cabinquickly became a sensa-tion selling over 300000copies in the first year ofpublication The book hadsuch an impact on publicfeelings about slaverythat when Abraham Lin-coln was introduced toStowe during the CivilWar he said so youldquowrote the book thatstarted this great warrdquo

Resistance to the LawIn spite of the penalties many Northerners

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

Union or Secession President Abraham Lincoln and JeffersonDavis president of the Confederacy wereinaugurated just several weeks apart Theseexcerpts from their Inaugural Addresses willhelp you understand differing points of viewabout secession from the United States in 1861

Abraham Lincoln

1 According to Lincoln what was theonly substantial disagreementbetween the North and the South

2 What did Lincoln compare theUnited States to

3 Did Lincoln and Davis say anythingin their inaugural addresses thatwas similar

Learning From History

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

In effect the more populous Northhad outvoted the South The victoryfor Lincoln was a short-lived onehowever for the nation Lincoln wasto lead would soon disintegrate

451CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

As Lincoln prepared for his inauguration onMarch 4 1861 people in both the North and theSouth wondered what he would say and doThey wondered too what would happen in Vir-

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

Road toCivil War

1820ndash1861Why It Matters

Slavery was a major cause of the worsening division between the North and South in theperiod before the Civil War The struggle between the North and South turned more hostile

and talk grew of separation and civil war

The Impact TodayldquoIf slavery is not wrong nothing is wrongrdquo Abraham Lincoln wrote in a letter to AG

Hodges in 1864 By studying this era of our history we can better understand the state ofracial relations today and develop ways for improving them

Poster warning African Americans

ldquoThe deed is done The chains of slavery are forged for [many] yet unbornHumble yourselves in the dust ye high-minded citizens of Connecticut Let your cheeksbe red as crimson On your representatives rests the stigma of this foul disgracerdquo Thesebiting fiery words were published in a Connecticut newspaper in 1820 They were inresponse to members of Congress who had helped pave the way for the admission ofMissouri as a slaveholding state

The Missouri CompromiseThe request by slaveholding Missouri to join the Union in 1819 caused an

angry debate that worried former president Thomas Jefferson and Secretary ofState John Quincy Adams Jefferson called the dispute ldquoa fire-bell in the nightrdquothat ldquoawakened and filled me with terrorrdquo Adams accurately predicted that thebitter debate was ldquoa mere preamblemdasha title-page to a great tragic volumerdquo

Many Missouri settlers had brought enslaved African Americans into the ter-ritory with them By 1819 the Missouri Territory included about 50000 whites

and 10000 slaves When Missouri applied toCongress for admission as a state its constitu-tion allowed slavery

In 1819 11 states permitted slavery and 11did not The Senatemdashwith two members fromeach statemdashwas therefore evenly balancedbetween slave and free states The admission ofa new state would upset that balance

In addition the North and the South withtheir different economic systems were compet-ing for new lands in the western territories Atthe same time a growing number of Northern-ers wanted to restrict or ban slavery Southern-ers even those who disliked slavery opposedthese antislavery efforts They resented theinterference by outsiders in Southernersrsquo affairsThese differences between the North and theSouth grew into sectionalismmdashan exaggeratedloyalty to a particular region of the country

Clayrsquos ProposalThe Senate suggested a way to resolve the cri-

sis by allowing Missourirsquos admittance as a slavestate while simultaneously admitting Maine as afree state Maine formerly part of Massachu-setts had also applied for admission to theUnion The Senate also sought to settle the issueof slavery in the territories for good It proposedprohibiting slavery in the remainder of theLouisiana Purchase north of 36ordm30rsquoN latitude

Speaker of the House Henry Clay of Ken-tucky skillfully maneuvered the Senate bill topassage in 1820 by dividing it into three propos-als The Missouri Compromise preserved thebalance between slave and freestates in the Senate and broughtabout a lull in the bitter debate inCongress over slavery

Explaining What issectionalism

New Western LandsFor the next 25 years Congress

managed to keep the slavery issue inthe background In the 1840s how-ever this heated debate moved back

into Congress Once again the cause of the dis-pute was the issue of slavery in new territoriesThe territories involved were Texas which hadwon its independence from Mexico in 1836 andNew Mexico and California which were stillpart of Mexico

Many Southerners hoped to see Texas whereslavery already existed join the Union As aresult the annexation of Texas became themain issue in the presidential election of 1844Democrat James Polk of Tennessee won theelection and pressed forward on acquiringTexas and Texas became a state in 1845 At thesame time support for taking over New Mex-ico and California also grew in the South Thefederal governmentrsquos actions on these lands ledto war with Mexico

Conflicting ViewsJust months after the Mexican War began

Representative David Wilmot of Pennsylvaniaintroduced a proposal in Congress Called theWilmot Proviso it specified that slavery shouldbe prohibited in any lands that might beacquired from Mexico Southerners protestedfuriously They wanted to keep open the possi-bility of introducing slavery to California andNew Mexico

Senator John C Calhoun of South Carolinacountered with another proposal It stated thatneither Congress nor any territorial governmenthad the authority to ban slavery from a territoryor regulate it in any way

Neither Wilmotrsquos nor Calhounrsquos proposalpassed but both caused bitter debate By thetime of the 1848 presidential election the UnitedStates had gained the territories of Californiaand New Mexico from Mexico but had taken noaction on the issue of slavery in those areas

The Free-Soil PartyThe debate over slavery led to the formation

of a new political party In 1848 the Whigs choseZachary Taylor a Southerner and a hero of theMexican War as their presidential candidateThe Democrats selected Senator Lewis Cass ofMichigan Neither candidate took a stand onslavery in the territories

This failure to take a position angered votersMany antislavery Democrats and Whigs lefttheir parties and joined with members of theold Liberty Party to form the Free-Soil PartyThe new party proclaimed ldquoFree Soil FreeSpeech Free Labor and Free Menrdquo andendorsed the Wilmot Proviso The party nomi-nated former president Martin Van Buren asits presidential candidate

Whig candidate Zachary Taylor won the elec-tion by successfully appealing to both slave andfree states Taylor defeated Cass 163 to 127 in elec-toral votes Van Buren captured only 14 percent ofthe popular vote in the North but several candi-dates of the Free-Soil Party won seats in Congress

CaliforniaOnce in office President Taylor urged leaders

in the two territories of California and NewMexico to apply for statehood immediatelyOnce these lands had become states he rea-soned their citizens could decide whether toallow slavery New Mexico did not apply forstatehood but California did in 1850

Taylorrsquos plan ran into trouble when Califor-niarsquos statehood became tangled up with otherissues before Congress Antislavery forceswanted to abolish slavery in the District ofColumbia the nationrsquos capital Southernerswanted a strong national law requiring states to return fugitive or runaway slaves to theirmasters Another dispute involved the NewMexicondashTexas border

The greatest obstacle to Taylorrsquos plan wasconcern over the balance of power in the SenateIn 1849 the nation included 15 slave states and15 free states If California entered as a freestatemdashand New Mexico Oregon and Utah fol-lowed as free states which seemed likelymdashtheSouth would be hopelessly outvoted in the Sen-ate As tension grew some Southerners begantalking about having their states secede from orleave the United States

Explaining How was John C Calhounrsquos proposal different from the Wilmot Proviso

A New CompromiseIn January 1850 Henry Clay now a senator

presented a multi-part plan to settle all the issuesdividing Congress First California would beadmitted as a free state Second the New MexicoTerritory would have no restrictions on slaveryThird the New MexicondashTexas border disputewould be settled in favor of New Mexico Fourththe slave trade but not slavery itself would beabolished in the District of Columbia FinallyClay pushed for a stronger fugitive slave law

Clayrsquos proposal launched an emotional debatein Congress that raged for seven months Open-ing that debate were Clay and two other distin-guished senatorsmdashJohn C Calhoun of SouthCarolina and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts

Government Create a poster forthe Free-Soil Party presidential can-didate Include slogans or symbolsto gain popular support

Calhoun opposed Clayrsquos plan He believedthat the only way to save the Union was to pro-tect slavery If Congress admitted California as afree state Calhoun warned the Southern stateshad to leave the Union

Three days later Webster gave an eloquentspeech in support of Clayrsquos plan He argued thatantislavery forces lost little in agreeing to thecompromise

ldquoI would rather hear of natural blasts andmildews war pestilence and famine than tohear gentlemen talk of secessionrdquo

Webster reasoned that geography would pre-vent slavery from taking root in the new territo-ries since most of the land was not suited forplantations What was most important was topreserve the Union

The Compromise of 1850Clayrsquos plan could not pass as a complete pack-

age Too many members of Congress objected toone part of it or another President Taylor alsoopposed the plan and threatened to use forceagainst the South if states tried to secede

Then in July President Taylor suddenly diedThe new president Millard Fillmore supportedsome form of compromise At the same timeStephen A Douglas a young senator from Illi-nois took charge of efforts to resolve the crisisDouglas divided Clayrsquos plan into a series of

measures that Congress could vote on sepa-rately In this way members of Congress wouldnot have to support proposals they opposed

President Fillmore persuaded several Whigrepresentatives to abstainmdashnot to cast votesmdashonmeasures they opposed Congress finally passeda series of five separate bills in August and Sep-tember of 1850 Taken together these lawsknown as the Compromise of 1850 containedthe five main points of Clayrsquos original plan Fill-more called the compromise a ldquofinal settlementrdquoof the conflict between North and South Thepresident would soon be proved wrong

Explaining How did the Compro-mise of 1850 affect the New Mexico Territory

Like Zachary Taylor did most presidents make themilitary their profession Some presidents did makethe military their principal profession WashingtonWilliam Henry Harrison Grant and Eisenhower as wellas Taylor all made a career in the military Howevermore presidents came from the ranks of attorneys thanfrom any other profession More than half of all presi-dents including Jefferson and Lincoln made their livingin the practice of law

Writer Harriet BeecherStowe called the FugitiveSlave Act a ldquonightmareabominationrdquo Stowe thedaughter of a New Eng-land minister spent partof her childhood inCincinnati There on thebanks of the Ohio Rivershe saw enslaved peoplebeing loaded onto shipsto be taken to slave mar-kets As an adult and the

wife of a religion profes-sor she wrote manybooks and stories aboutsocial reform Her mostfamous work was a novelabout the evils of slaveryUncle Tomrsquos Cabin waspublished in 1852Packed with dramaticincidents and vivid char-acters the novel showsslavery as a cruel andbrutal system

Uncle Tomrsquos Cabinquickly became a sensa-tion selling over 300000copies in the first year ofpublication The book hadsuch an impact on publicfeelings about slaverythat when Abraham Lin-coln was introduced toStowe during the CivilWar he said so youldquowrote the book thatstarted this great warrdquo

Resistance to the LawIn spite of the penalties many Northerners

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Southerners in Congress however providedsolid support for the bill They expected thatKansas would be settled in large part by slave-holders from Missouri who would vote to keepslavery legal With some support from NorthernDemocrats and the backing of President PierceCongress passed the KansasndashNebraska Act inMay 1854

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

Abraham Lincoln

2 What did Lincoln compare theUnited States to

3 Did Lincoln and Davis say anythingin their inaugural addresses thatwas similar

Learning From History

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

In effect the more populous Northhad outvoted the South The victoryfor Lincoln was a short-lived onehowever for the nation Lincoln wasto lead would soon disintegrate

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

As Lincoln prepared for his inauguration onMarch 4 1861 people in both the North and theSouth wondered what he would say and doThey wondered too what would happen in Vir-

secession would not be permitted vowing tohold federal property in the South and toenforce the laws of the United States At thesame time Lincoln pleaded with the people ofthe South for reconciliation

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

Poster warning African Americans

ldquoThe deed is done The chains of slavery are forged for [many] yet unbornHumble yourselves in the dust ye high-minded citizens of Connecticut Let your cheeksbe red as crimson On your representatives rests the stigma of this foul disgracerdquo Thesebiting fiery words were published in a Connecticut newspaper in 1820 They were inresponse to members of Congress who had helped pave the way for the admission ofMissouri as a slaveholding state

The Missouri CompromiseThe request by slaveholding Missouri to join the Union in 1819 caused an

angry debate that worried former president Thomas Jefferson and Secretary ofState John Quincy Adams Jefferson called the dispute ldquoa fire-bell in the nightrdquothat ldquoawakened and filled me with terrorrdquo Adams accurately predicted that thebitter debate was ldquoa mere preamblemdasha title-page to a great tragic volumerdquo

Many Missouri settlers had brought enslaved African Americans into the ter-ritory with them By 1819 the Missouri Territory included about 50000 whites

and 10000 slaves When Missouri applied toCongress for admission as a state its constitu-tion allowed slavery

In 1819 11 states permitted slavery and 11did not The Senatemdashwith two members fromeach statemdashwas therefore evenly balancedbetween slave and free states The admission ofa new state would upset that balance

In addition the North and the South withtheir different economic systems were compet-ing for new lands in the western territories Atthe same time a growing number of Northern-ers wanted to restrict or ban slavery Southern-ers even those who disliked slavery opposedthese antislavery efforts They resented theinterference by outsiders in Southernersrsquo affairsThese differences between the North and theSouth grew into sectionalismmdashan exaggeratedloyalty to a particular region of the country

Clayrsquos ProposalThe Senate suggested a way to resolve the cri-

sis by allowing Missourirsquos admittance as a slavestate while simultaneously admitting Maine as afree state Maine formerly part of Massachu-setts had also applied for admission to theUnion The Senate also sought to settle the issueof slavery in the territories for good It proposedprohibiting slavery in the remainder of theLouisiana Purchase north of 36ordm30rsquoN latitude

Speaker of the House Henry Clay of Ken-tucky skillfully maneuvered the Senate bill topassage in 1820 by dividing it into three propos-als The Missouri Compromise preserved thebalance between slave and freestates in the Senate and broughtabout a lull in the bitter debate inCongress over slavery

Explaining What issectionalism

New Western LandsFor the next 25 years Congress

managed to keep the slavery issue inthe background In the 1840s how-ever this heated debate moved back

into Congress Once again the cause of the dis-pute was the issue of slavery in new territoriesThe territories involved were Texas which hadwon its independence from Mexico in 1836 andNew Mexico and California which were stillpart of Mexico

Many Southerners hoped to see Texas whereslavery already existed join the Union As aresult the annexation of Texas became themain issue in the presidential election of 1844Democrat James Polk of Tennessee won theelection and pressed forward on acquiringTexas and Texas became a state in 1845 At thesame time support for taking over New Mex-ico and California also grew in the South Thefederal governmentrsquos actions on these lands ledto war with Mexico

Conflicting ViewsJust months after the Mexican War began

Representative David Wilmot of Pennsylvaniaintroduced a proposal in Congress Called theWilmot Proviso it specified that slavery shouldbe prohibited in any lands that might beacquired from Mexico Southerners protestedfuriously They wanted to keep open the possi-bility of introducing slavery to California andNew Mexico

Senator John C Calhoun of South Carolinacountered with another proposal It stated thatneither Congress nor any territorial governmenthad the authority to ban slavery from a territoryor regulate it in any way

Neither Wilmotrsquos nor Calhounrsquos proposalpassed but both caused bitter debate By thetime of the 1848 presidential election the UnitedStates had gained the territories of Californiaand New Mexico from Mexico but had taken noaction on the issue of slavery in those areas

The Free-Soil PartyThe debate over slavery led to the formation

of a new political party In 1848 the Whigs choseZachary Taylor a Southerner and a hero of theMexican War as their presidential candidateThe Democrats selected Senator Lewis Cass ofMichigan Neither candidate took a stand onslavery in the territories

This failure to take a position angered votersMany antislavery Democrats and Whigs lefttheir parties and joined with members of theold Liberty Party to form the Free-Soil PartyThe new party proclaimed ldquoFree Soil FreeSpeech Free Labor and Free Menrdquo andendorsed the Wilmot Proviso The party nomi-nated former president Martin Van Buren asits presidential candidate

Whig candidate Zachary Taylor won the elec-tion by successfully appealing to both slave andfree states Taylor defeated Cass 163 to 127 in elec-toral votes Van Buren captured only 14 percent ofthe popular vote in the North but several candi-dates of the Free-Soil Party won seats in Congress

CaliforniaOnce in office President Taylor urged leaders

in the two territories of California and NewMexico to apply for statehood immediatelyOnce these lands had become states he rea-soned their citizens could decide whether toallow slavery New Mexico did not apply forstatehood but California did in 1850

Taylorrsquos plan ran into trouble when Califor-niarsquos statehood became tangled up with otherissues before Congress Antislavery forceswanted to abolish slavery in the District ofColumbia the nationrsquos capital Southernerswanted a strong national law requiring states to return fugitive or runaway slaves to theirmasters Another dispute involved the NewMexicondashTexas border

The greatest obstacle to Taylorrsquos plan wasconcern over the balance of power in the SenateIn 1849 the nation included 15 slave states and15 free states If California entered as a freestatemdashand New Mexico Oregon and Utah fol-lowed as free states which seemed likelymdashtheSouth would be hopelessly outvoted in the Sen-ate As tension grew some Southerners begantalking about having their states secede from orleave the United States

Explaining How was John C Calhounrsquos proposal different from the Wilmot Proviso

A New CompromiseIn January 1850 Henry Clay now a senator

presented a multi-part plan to settle all the issuesdividing Congress First California would beadmitted as a free state Second the New MexicoTerritory would have no restrictions on slaveryThird the New MexicondashTexas border disputewould be settled in favor of New Mexico Fourththe slave trade but not slavery itself would beabolished in the District of Columbia FinallyClay pushed for a stronger fugitive slave law

Clayrsquos proposal launched an emotional debatein Congress that raged for seven months Open-ing that debate were Clay and two other distin-guished senatorsmdashJohn C Calhoun of SouthCarolina and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts

Government Create a poster forthe Free-Soil Party presidential can-didate Include slogans or symbolsto gain popular support

Calhoun opposed Clayrsquos plan He believedthat the only way to save the Union was to pro-tect slavery If Congress admitted California as afree state Calhoun warned the Southern stateshad to leave the Union

Three days later Webster gave an eloquentspeech in support of Clayrsquos plan He argued thatantislavery forces lost little in agreeing to thecompromise

ldquoI would rather hear of natural blasts andmildews war pestilence and famine than tohear gentlemen talk of secessionrdquo

Webster reasoned that geography would pre-vent slavery from taking root in the new territo-ries since most of the land was not suited forplantations What was most important was topreserve the Union

The Compromise of 1850Clayrsquos plan could not pass as a complete pack-

age Too many members of Congress objected toone part of it or another President Taylor alsoopposed the plan and threatened to use forceagainst the South if states tried to secede

Then in July President Taylor suddenly diedThe new president Millard Fillmore supportedsome form of compromise At the same timeStephen A Douglas a young senator from Illi-nois took charge of efforts to resolve the crisisDouglas divided Clayrsquos plan into a series of

measures that Congress could vote on sepa-rately In this way members of Congress wouldnot have to support proposals they opposed

President Fillmore persuaded several Whigrepresentatives to abstainmdashnot to cast votesmdashonmeasures they opposed Congress finally passeda series of five separate bills in August and Sep-tember of 1850 Taken together these lawsknown as the Compromise of 1850 containedthe five main points of Clayrsquos original plan Fill-more called the compromise a ldquofinal settlementrdquoof the conflict between North and South Thepresident would soon be proved wrong

Explaining How did the Compro-mise of 1850 affect the New Mexico Territory

Like Zachary Taylor did most presidents make themilitary their profession Some presidents did makethe military their principal profession WashingtonWilliam Henry Harrison Grant and Eisenhower as wellas Taylor all made a career in the military Howevermore presidents came from the ranks of attorneys thanfrom any other profession More than half of all presi-dents including Jefferson and Lincoln made their livingin the practice of law

The Fugitive Slave ActThe Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required all citizens to help catch runaways

Anyone who aided a fugitive could be fined or imprisoned People in the Southbelieved the law would force Northerners to recognize the rights of SouthernersInstead enforcement of the law led to mounting anger in the North convincingmore people of the evils of slavery

After passage of the Fugitive Slave Act slaveholders stepped up their efforts tocatch runaway slaves They even tried to capture runaways who had lived in free-dom in the North for years Sometimes they seized African Americans who werenot escaped slaves and forced them into slavery

Writer Harriet BeecherStowe called the FugitiveSlave Act a ldquonightmareabominationrdquo Stowe thedaughter of a New Eng-land minister spent partof her childhood inCincinnati There on thebanks of the Ohio Rivershe saw enslaved peoplebeing loaded onto shipsto be taken to slave mar-kets As an adult and the

wife of a religion profes-sor she wrote manybooks and stories aboutsocial reform Her mostfamous work was a novelabout the evils of slaveryUncle Tomrsquos Cabin waspublished in 1852Packed with dramaticincidents and vivid char-acters the novel showsslavery as a cruel andbrutal system

Uncle Tomrsquos Cabinquickly became a sensa-tion selling over 300000copies in the first year ofpublication The book hadsuch an impact on publicfeelings about slaverythat when Abraham Lin-coln was introduced toStowe during the CivilWar he said so youldquowrote the book thatstarted this great warrdquo

Resistance to the LawIn spite of the penalties many Northerners

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Passage of the ActMany Northerners protested strongly Douglasrsquos

plan to repeal the Missouri Compromise wouldallow slavery into areas that had been free formore than 30 years Opponents of the billdemanded that Congress vote down the bill

Southerners in Congress however providedsolid support for the bill They expected thatKansas would be settled in large part by slave-holders from Missouri who would vote to keepslavery legal With some support from NorthernDemocrats and the backing of President PierceCongress passed the KansasndashNebraska Act inMay 1854

Division GrowsNorthern Democrats in the House split almost

evenly on the vote revealing deep divisions inthe party Many Northerners became convincedthat compromise with the South was no longerpossible Sam Houston senator from Texas pre-dicted that the bill ldquowill convulse [upset] thecountry from Maine to the Rio Granderdquo

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

Challenges to Slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Poster warning African Americans

ldquoThe deed is done The chains of slavery are forged for [many] yet unbornHumble yourselves in the dust ye high-minded citizens of Connecticut Let your cheeksbe red as crimson On your representatives rests the stigma of this foul disgracerdquo Thesebiting fiery words were published in a Connecticut newspaper in 1820 They were inresponse to members of Congress who had helped pave the way for the admission ofMissouri as a slaveholding state

The Missouri CompromiseThe request by slaveholding Missouri to join the Union in 1819 caused an

angry debate that worried former president Thomas Jefferson and Secretary ofState John Quincy Adams Jefferson called the dispute ldquoa fire-bell in the nightrdquothat ldquoawakened and filled me with terrorrdquo Adams accurately predicted that thebitter debate was ldquoa mere preamblemdasha title-page to a great tragic volumerdquo

Many Missouri settlers had brought enslaved African Americans into the ter-ritory with them By 1819 the Missouri Territory included about 50000 whites

and 10000 slaves When Missouri applied toCongress for admission as a state its constitu-tion allowed slavery

In 1819 11 states permitted slavery and 11did not The Senatemdashwith two members fromeach statemdashwas therefore evenly balancedbetween slave and free states The admission ofa new state would upset that balance

In addition the North and the South withtheir different economic systems were compet-ing for new lands in the western territories Atthe same time a growing number of Northern-ers wanted to restrict or ban slavery Southern-ers even those who disliked slavery opposedthese antislavery efforts They resented theinterference by outsiders in Southernersrsquo affairsThese differences between the North and theSouth grew into sectionalismmdashan exaggeratedloyalty to a particular region of the country

Clayrsquos ProposalThe Senate suggested a way to resolve the cri-

sis by allowing Missourirsquos admittance as a slavestate while simultaneously admitting Maine as afree state Maine formerly part of Massachu-setts had also applied for admission to theUnion The Senate also sought to settle the issueof slavery in the territories for good It proposedprohibiting slavery in the remainder of theLouisiana Purchase north of 36ordm30rsquoN latitude

Speaker of the House Henry Clay of Ken-tucky skillfully maneuvered the Senate bill topassage in 1820 by dividing it into three propos-als The Missouri Compromise preserved thebalance between slave and freestates in the Senate and broughtabout a lull in the bitter debate inCongress over slavery

Explaining What issectionalism

New Western LandsFor the next 25 years Congress

managed to keep the slavery issue inthe background In the 1840s how-ever this heated debate moved back

into Congress Once again the cause of the dis-pute was the issue of slavery in new territoriesThe territories involved were Texas which hadwon its independence from Mexico in 1836 andNew Mexico and California which were stillpart of Mexico

Many Southerners hoped to see Texas whereslavery already existed join the Union As aresult the annexation of Texas became themain issue in the presidential election of 1844Democrat James Polk of Tennessee won theelection and pressed forward on acquiringTexas and Texas became a state in 1845 At thesame time support for taking over New Mex-ico and California also grew in the South Thefederal governmentrsquos actions on these lands ledto war with Mexico

Conflicting ViewsJust months after the Mexican War began

Representative David Wilmot of Pennsylvaniaintroduced a proposal in Congress Called theWilmot Proviso it specified that slavery shouldbe prohibited in any lands that might beacquired from Mexico Southerners protestedfuriously They wanted to keep open the possi-bility of introducing slavery to California andNew Mexico

Senator John C Calhoun of South Carolinacountered with another proposal It stated thatneither Congress nor any territorial governmenthad the authority to ban slavery from a territoryor regulate it in any way

Neither Wilmotrsquos nor Calhounrsquos proposalpassed but both caused bitter debate By thetime of the 1848 presidential election the UnitedStates had gained the territories of Californiaand New Mexico from Mexico but had taken noaction on the issue of slavery in those areas

The Free-Soil PartyThe debate over slavery led to the formation

of a new political party In 1848 the Whigs choseZachary Taylor a Southerner and a hero of theMexican War as their presidential candidateThe Democrats selected Senator Lewis Cass ofMichigan Neither candidate took a stand onslavery in the territories

This failure to take a position angered votersMany antislavery Democrats and Whigs lefttheir parties and joined with members of theold Liberty Party to form the Free-Soil PartyThe new party proclaimed ldquoFree Soil FreeSpeech Free Labor and Free Menrdquo andendorsed the Wilmot Proviso The party nomi-nated former president Martin Van Buren asits presidential candidate

Whig candidate Zachary Taylor won the elec-tion by successfully appealing to both slave andfree states Taylor defeated Cass 163 to 127 in elec-toral votes Van Buren captured only 14 percent ofthe popular vote in the North but several candi-dates of the Free-Soil Party won seats in Congress

CaliforniaOnce in office President Taylor urged leaders

in the two territories of California and NewMexico to apply for statehood immediatelyOnce these lands had become states he rea-soned their citizens could decide whether toallow slavery New Mexico did not apply forstatehood but California did in 1850

Taylorrsquos plan ran into trouble when Califor-niarsquos statehood became tangled up with otherissues before Congress Antislavery forceswanted to abolish slavery in the District ofColumbia the nationrsquos capital Southernerswanted a strong national law requiring states to return fugitive or runaway slaves to theirmasters Another dispute involved the NewMexicondashTexas border

The greatest obstacle to Taylorrsquos plan wasconcern over the balance of power in the SenateIn 1849 the nation included 15 slave states and15 free states If California entered as a freestatemdashand New Mexico Oregon and Utah fol-lowed as free states which seemed likelymdashtheSouth would be hopelessly outvoted in the Sen-ate As tension grew some Southerners begantalking about having their states secede from orleave the United States

Explaining How was John C Calhounrsquos proposal different from the Wilmot Proviso

A New CompromiseIn January 1850 Henry Clay now a senator

presented a multi-part plan to settle all the issuesdividing Congress First California would beadmitted as a free state Second the New MexicoTerritory would have no restrictions on slaveryThird the New MexicondashTexas border disputewould be settled in favor of New Mexico Fourththe slave trade but not slavery itself would beabolished in the District of Columbia FinallyClay pushed for a stronger fugitive slave law

Clayrsquos proposal launched an emotional debatein Congress that raged for seven months Open-ing that debate were Clay and two other distin-guished senatorsmdashJohn C Calhoun of SouthCarolina and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts

Government Create a poster forthe Free-Soil Party presidential can-didate Include slogans or symbolsto gain popular support

Calhoun opposed Clayrsquos plan He believedthat the only way to save the Union was to pro-tect slavery If Congress admitted California as afree state Calhoun warned the Southern stateshad to leave the Union

Three days later Webster gave an eloquentspeech in support of Clayrsquos plan He argued thatantislavery forces lost little in agreeing to thecompromise

ldquoI would rather hear of natural blasts andmildews war pestilence and famine than tohear gentlemen talk of secessionrdquo

Webster reasoned that geography would pre-vent slavery from taking root in the new territo-ries since most of the land was not suited forplantations What was most important was topreserve the Union

The Compromise of 1850Clayrsquos plan could not pass as a complete pack-

age Too many members of Congress objected toone part of it or another President Taylor alsoopposed the plan and threatened to use forceagainst the South if states tried to secede

Then in July President Taylor suddenly diedThe new president Millard Fillmore supportedsome form of compromise At the same timeStephen A Douglas a young senator from Illi-nois took charge of efforts to resolve the crisisDouglas divided Clayrsquos plan into a series of

measures that Congress could vote on sepa-rately In this way members of Congress wouldnot have to support proposals they opposed

President Fillmore persuaded several Whigrepresentatives to abstainmdashnot to cast votesmdashonmeasures they opposed Congress finally passeda series of five separate bills in August and Sep-tember of 1850 Taken together these lawsknown as the Compromise of 1850 containedthe five main points of Clayrsquos original plan Fill-more called the compromise a ldquofinal settlementrdquoof the conflict between North and South Thepresident would soon be proved wrong

Explaining How did the Compro-mise of 1850 affect the New Mexico Territory

Like Zachary Taylor did most presidents make themilitary their profession Some presidents did makethe military their principal profession WashingtonWilliam Henry Harrison Grant and Eisenhower as wellas Taylor all made a career in the military Howevermore presidents came from the ranks of attorneys thanfrom any other profession More than half of all presi-dents including Jefferson and Lincoln made their livingin the practice of law

The Fugitive Slave ActThe Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required all citizens to help catch runaways

Anyone who aided a fugitive could be fined or imprisoned People in the Southbelieved the law would force Northerners to recognize the rights of SouthernersInstead enforcement of the law led to mounting anger in the North convincingmore people of the evils of slavery

After passage of the Fugitive Slave Act slaveholders stepped up their efforts tocatch runaway slaves They even tried to capture runaways who had lived in free-dom in the North for years Sometimes they seized African Americans who werenot escaped slaves and forced them into slavery

Writer Harriet BeecherStowe called the FugitiveSlave Act a ldquonightmareabominationrdquo Stowe thedaughter of a New Eng-land minister spent partof her childhood inCincinnati There on thebanks of the Ohio Rivershe saw enslaved peoplebeing loaded onto shipsto be taken to slave mar-kets As an adult and the

wife of a religion profes-sor she wrote manybooks and stories aboutsocial reform Her mostfamous work was a novelabout the evils of slaveryUncle Tomrsquos Cabin waspublished in 1852Packed with dramaticincidents and vivid char-acters the novel showsslavery as a cruel andbrutal system

Uncle Tomrsquos Cabinquickly became a sensa-tion selling over 300000copies in the first year ofpublication The book hadsuch an impact on publicfeelings about slaverythat when Abraham Lin-coln was introduced toStowe during the CivilWar he said so youldquowrote the book thatstarted this great warrdquo

Resistance to the LawIn spite of the penalties many Northerners

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Passage of the ActMany Northerners protested strongly Douglasrsquos

plan to repeal the Missouri Compromise wouldallow slavery into areas that had been free formore than 30 years Opponents of the billdemanded that Congress vote down the bill

Southerners in Congress however providedsolid support for the bill They expected thatKansas would be settled in large part by slave-holders from Missouri who would vote to keepslavery legal With some support from NorthernDemocrats and the backing of President PierceCongress passed the KansasndashNebraska Act inMay 1854

Division GrowsNorthern Democrats in the House split almost

evenly on the vote revealing deep divisions inthe party Many Northerners became convincedthat compromise with the South was no longerpossible Sam Houston senator from Texas pre-dicted that the bill ldquowill convulse [upset] thecountry from Maine to the Rio Granderdquo

Describing Write a definition ofldquopopular sovereigntyrdquo in your own words

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

Challenges to Slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

made itrdquomdashStephen Douglas

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

and 10000 slaves When Missouri applied toCongress for admission as a state its constitu-tion allowed slavery

In 1819 11 states permitted slavery and 11did not The Senatemdashwith two members fromeach statemdashwas therefore evenly balancedbetween slave and free states The admission ofa new state would upset that balance

In addition the North and the South withtheir different economic systems were compet-ing for new lands in the western territories Atthe same time a growing number of Northern-ers wanted to restrict or ban slavery Southern-ers even those who disliked slavery opposedthese antislavery efforts They resented theinterference by outsiders in Southernersrsquo affairsThese differences between the North and theSouth grew into sectionalismmdashan exaggeratedloyalty to a particular region of the country

Clayrsquos ProposalThe Senate suggested a way to resolve the cri-

sis by allowing Missourirsquos admittance as a slavestate while simultaneously admitting Maine as afree state Maine formerly part of Massachu-setts had also applied for admission to theUnion The Senate also sought to settle the issueof slavery in the territories for good It proposedprohibiting slavery in the remainder of theLouisiana Purchase north of 36ordm30rsquoN latitude

Speaker of the House Henry Clay of Ken-tucky skillfully maneuvered the Senate bill topassage in 1820 by dividing it into three propos-als The Missouri Compromise preserved thebalance between slave and freestates in the Senate and broughtabout a lull in the bitter debate inCongress over slavery

Explaining What issectionalism

New Western LandsFor the next 25 years Congress

managed to keep the slavery issue inthe background In the 1840s how-ever this heated debate moved back

into Congress Once again the cause of the dis-pute was the issue of slavery in new territoriesThe territories involved were Texas which hadwon its independence from Mexico in 1836 andNew Mexico and California which were stillpart of Mexico

Many Southerners hoped to see Texas whereslavery already existed join the Union As aresult the annexation of Texas became themain issue in the presidential election of 1844Democrat James Polk of Tennessee won theelection and pressed forward on acquiringTexas and Texas became a state in 1845 At thesame time support for taking over New Mex-ico and California also grew in the South Thefederal governmentrsquos actions on these lands ledto war with Mexico

Conflicting ViewsJust months after the Mexican War began

Representative David Wilmot of Pennsylvaniaintroduced a proposal in Congress Called theWilmot Proviso it specified that slavery shouldbe prohibited in any lands that might beacquired from Mexico Southerners protestedfuriously They wanted to keep open the possi-bility of introducing slavery to California andNew Mexico

Senator John C Calhoun of South Carolinacountered with another proposal It stated thatneither Congress nor any territorial governmenthad the authority to ban slavery from a territoryor regulate it in any way

Neither Wilmotrsquos nor Calhounrsquos proposalpassed but both caused bitter debate By thetime of the 1848 presidential election the UnitedStates had gained the territories of Californiaand New Mexico from Mexico but had taken noaction on the issue of slavery in those areas

The Free-Soil PartyThe debate over slavery led to the formation

of a new political party In 1848 the Whigs choseZachary Taylor a Southerner and a hero of theMexican War as their presidential candidateThe Democrats selected Senator Lewis Cass ofMichigan Neither candidate took a stand onslavery in the territories

This failure to take a position angered votersMany antislavery Democrats and Whigs lefttheir parties and joined with members of theold Liberty Party to form the Free-Soil PartyThe new party proclaimed ldquoFree Soil FreeSpeech Free Labor and Free Menrdquo andendorsed the Wilmot Proviso The party nomi-nated former president Martin Van Buren asits presidential candidate

Whig candidate Zachary Taylor won the elec-tion by successfully appealing to both slave andfree states Taylor defeated Cass 163 to 127 in elec-toral votes Van Buren captured only 14 percent ofthe popular vote in the North but several candi-dates of the Free-Soil Party won seats in Congress

CaliforniaOnce in office President Taylor urged leaders

in the two territories of California and NewMexico to apply for statehood immediatelyOnce these lands had become states he rea-soned their citizens could decide whether toallow slavery New Mexico did not apply forstatehood but California did in 1850

Taylorrsquos plan ran into trouble when Califor-niarsquos statehood became tangled up with otherissues before Congress Antislavery forceswanted to abolish slavery in the District ofColumbia the nationrsquos capital Southernerswanted a strong national law requiring states to return fugitive or runaway slaves to theirmasters Another dispute involved the NewMexicondashTexas border

The greatest obstacle to Taylorrsquos plan wasconcern over the balance of power in the SenateIn 1849 the nation included 15 slave states and15 free states If California entered as a freestatemdashand New Mexico Oregon and Utah fol-lowed as free states which seemed likelymdashtheSouth would be hopelessly outvoted in the Sen-ate As tension grew some Southerners begantalking about having their states secede from orleave the United States

Explaining How was John C Calhounrsquos proposal different from the Wilmot Proviso

A New CompromiseIn January 1850 Henry Clay now a senator

presented a multi-part plan to settle all the issuesdividing Congress First California would beadmitted as a free state Second the New MexicoTerritory would have no restrictions on slaveryThird the New MexicondashTexas border disputewould be settled in favor of New Mexico Fourththe slave trade but not slavery itself would beabolished in the District of Columbia FinallyClay pushed for a stronger fugitive slave law

Clayrsquos proposal launched an emotional debatein Congress that raged for seven months Open-ing that debate were Clay and two other distin-guished senatorsmdashJohn C Calhoun of SouthCarolina and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts

Government Create a poster forthe Free-Soil Party presidential can-didate Include slogans or symbolsto gain popular support

Calhoun opposed Clayrsquos plan He believedthat the only way to save the Union was to pro-tect slavery If Congress admitted California as afree state Calhoun warned the Southern stateshad to leave the Union

Three days later Webster gave an eloquentspeech in support of Clayrsquos plan He argued thatantislavery forces lost little in agreeing to thecompromise

ldquoI would rather hear of natural blasts andmildews war pestilence and famine than tohear gentlemen talk of secessionrdquo

Webster reasoned that geography would pre-vent slavery from taking root in the new territo-ries since most of the land was not suited forplantations What was most important was topreserve the Union

The Compromise of 1850Clayrsquos plan could not pass as a complete pack-

age Too many members of Congress objected toone part of it or another President Taylor alsoopposed the plan and threatened to use forceagainst the South if states tried to secede

Then in July President Taylor suddenly diedThe new president Millard Fillmore supportedsome form of compromise At the same timeStephen A Douglas a young senator from Illi-nois took charge of efforts to resolve the crisisDouglas divided Clayrsquos plan into a series of

measures that Congress could vote on sepa-rately In this way members of Congress wouldnot have to support proposals they opposed

President Fillmore persuaded several Whigrepresentatives to abstainmdashnot to cast votesmdashonmeasures they opposed Congress finally passeda series of five separate bills in August and Sep-tember of 1850 Taken together these lawsknown as the Compromise of 1850 containedthe five main points of Clayrsquos original plan Fill-more called the compromise a ldquofinal settlementrdquoof the conflict between North and South Thepresident would soon be proved wrong

Explaining How did the Compro-mise of 1850 affect the New Mexico Territory

Like Zachary Taylor did most presidents make themilitary their profession Some presidents did makethe military their principal profession WashingtonWilliam Henry Harrison Grant and Eisenhower as wellas Taylor all made a career in the military Howevermore presidents came from the ranks of attorneys thanfrom any other profession More than half of all presi-dents including Jefferson and Lincoln made their livingin the practice of law

After passage of the Fugitive Slave Act slaveholders stepped up their efforts tocatch runaway slaves They even tried to capture runaways who had lived in free-dom in the North for years Sometimes they seized African Americans who werenot escaped slaves and forced them into slavery

Writer Harriet BeecherStowe called the FugitiveSlave Act a ldquonightmareabominationrdquo Stowe thedaughter of a New Eng-land minister spent partof her childhood inCincinnati There on thebanks of the Ohio Rivershe saw enslaved peoplebeing loaded onto shipsto be taken to slave mar-kets As an adult and the

wife of a religion profes-sor she wrote manybooks and stories aboutsocial reform Her mostfamous work was a novelabout the evils of slaveryUncle Tomrsquos Cabin waspublished in 1852Packed with dramaticincidents and vivid char-acters the novel showsslavery as a cruel andbrutal system

Uncle Tomrsquos Cabinquickly became a sensa-tion selling over 300000copies in the first year ofpublication The book hadsuch an impact on publicfeelings about slaverythat when Abraham Lin-coln was introduced toStowe during the CivilWar he said so youldquowrote the book thatstarted this great warrdquo

Resistance to the LawIn spite of the penalties many Northerners

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Describing Write a definition ofldquopopular sovereigntyrdquo in your own words

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

made itrdquomdashStephen Douglas

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Neither Wilmotrsquos nor Calhounrsquos proposalpassed but both caused bitter debate By thetime of the 1848 presidential election the UnitedStates had gained the territories of Californiaand New Mexico from Mexico but had taken noaction on the issue of slavery in those areas

The Free-Soil PartyThe debate over slavery led to the formation

of a new political party In 1848 the Whigs choseZachary Taylor a Southerner and a hero of theMexican War as their presidential candidateThe Democrats selected Senator Lewis Cass ofMichigan Neither candidate took a stand onslavery in the territories

This failure to take a position angered votersMany antislavery Democrats and Whigs lefttheir parties and joined with members of theold Liberty Party to form the Free-Soil PartyThe new party proclaimed ldquoFree Soil FreeSpeech Free Labor and Free Menrdquo andendorsed the Wilmot Proviso The party nomi-nated former president Martin Van Buren asits presidential candidate

Whig candidate Zachary Taylor won the elec-tion by successfully appealing to both slave andfree states Taylor defeated Cass 163 to 127 in elec-toral votes Van Buren captured only 14 percent ofthe popular vote in the North but several candi-dates of the Free-Soil Party won seats in Congress

CaliforniaOnce in office President Taylor urged leaders

in the two territories of California and NewMexico to apply for statehood immediatelyOnce these lands had become states he rea-soned their citizens could decide whether toallow slavery New Mexico did not apply forstatehood but California did in 1850

Taylorrsquos plan ran into trouble when Califor-niarsquos statehood became tangled up with otherissues before Congress Antislavery forceswanted to abolish slavery in the District ofColumbia the nationrsquos capital Southernerswanted a strong national law requiring states to return fugitive or runaway slaves to theirmasters Another dispute involved the NewMexicondashTexas border

The greatest obstacle to Taylorrsquos plan wasconcern over the balance of power in the SenateIn 1849 the nation included 15 slave states and15 free states If California entered as a freestatemdashand New Mexico Oregon and Utah fol-lowed as free states which seemed likelymdashtheSouth would be hopelessly outvoted in the Sen-ate As tension grew some Southerners begantalking about having their states secede from orleave the United States

Explaining How was John C Calhounrsquos proposal different from the Wilmot Proviso

A New CompromiseIn January 1850 Henry Clay now a senator

presented a multi-part plan to settle all the issuesdividing Congress First California would beadmitted as a free state Second the New MexicoTerritory would have no restrictions on slaveryThird the New MexicondashTexas border disputewould be settled in favor of New Mexico Fourththe slave trade but not slavery itself would beabolished in the District of Columbia FinallyClay pushed for a stronger fugitive slave law

Clayrsquos proposal launched an emotional debatein Congress that raged for seven months Open-ing that debate were Clay and two other distin-guished senatorsmdashJohn C Calhoun of SouthCarolina and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts

Calhoun opposed Clayrsquos plan He believedthat the only way to save the Union was to pro-tect slavery If Congress admitted California as afree state Calhoun warned the Southern stateshad to leave the Union

Three days later Webster gave an eloquentspeech in support of Clayrsquos plan He argued thatantislavery forces lost little in agreeing to thecompromise

ldquoI would rather hear of natural blasts andmildews war pestilence and famine than tohear gentlemen talk of secessionrdquo

Webster reasoned that geography would pre-vent slavery from taking root in the new territo-ries since most of the land was not suited forplantations What was most important was topreserve the Union

The Compromise of 1850Clayrsquos plan could not pass as a complete pack-

age Too many members of Congress objected toone part of it or another President Taylor alsoopposed the plan and threatened to use forceagainst the South if states tried to secede

Then in July President Taylor suddenly diedThe new president Millard Fillmore supportedsome form of compromise At the same timeStephen A Douglas a young senator from Illi-nois took charge of efforts to resolve the crisisDouglas divided Clayrsquos plan into a series of

measures that Congress could vote on sepa-rately In this way members of Congress wouldnot have to support proposals they opposed

President Fillmore persuaded several Whigrepresentatives to abstainmdashnot to cast votesmdashonmeasures they opposed Congress finally passeda series of five separate bills in August and Sep-tember of 1850 Taken together these lawsknown as the Compromise of 1850 containedthe five main points of Clayrsquos original plan Fill-more called the compromise a ldquofinal settlementrdquoof the conflict between North and South Thepresident would soon be proved wrong

Like Zachary Taylor did most presidents make themilitary their profession Some presidents did makethe military their principal profession WashingtonWilliam Henry Harrison Grant and Eisenhower as wellas Taylor all made a career in the military Howevermore presidents came from the ranks of attorneys thanfrom any other profession More than half of all presi-dents including Jefferson and Lincoln made their livingin the practice of law

The Fugitive Slave ActThe Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required all citizens to help catch runaways

Anyone who aided a fugitive could be fined or imprisoned People in the Southbelieved the law would force Northerners to recognize the rights of SouthernersInstead enforcement of the law led to mounting anger in the North convincingmore people of the evils of slavery

After passage of the Fugitive Slave Act slaveholders stepped up their efforts tocatch runaway slaves They even tried to capture runaways who had lived in free-dom in the North for years Sometimes they seized African Americans who werenot escaped slaves and forced them into slavery

Writer Harriet BeecherStowe called the FugitiveSlave Act a ldquonightmareabominationrdquo Stowe thedaughter of a New Eng-land minister spent partof her childhood inCincinnati There on thebanks of the Ohio Rivershe saw enslaved peoplebeing loaded onto shipsto be taken to slave mar-kets As an adult and the

wife of a religion profes-sor she wrote manybooks and stories aboutsocial reform Her mostfamous work was a novelabout the evils of slaveryUncle Tomrsquos Cabin waspublished in 1852Packed with dramaticincidents and vivid char-acters the novel showsslavery as a cruel andbrutal system

Uncle Tomrsquos Cabinquickly became a sensa-tion selling over 300000copies in the first year ofpublication The book hadsuch an impact on publicfeelings about slaverythat when Abraham Lin-coln was introduced toStowe during the CivilWar he said so youldquowrote the book thatstarted this great warrdquo

Resistance to the LawIn spite of the penalties many Northerners

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Passage of the ActMany Northerners protested strongly Douglasrsquos

plan to repeal the Missouri Compromise wouldallow slavery into areas that had been free formore than 30 years Opponents of the billdemanded that Congress vote down the bill

Southerners in Congress however providedsolid support for the bill They expected thatKansas would be settled in large part by slave-holders from Missouri who would vote to keepslavery legal With some support from NorthernDemocrats and the backing of President PierceCongress passed the KansasndashNebraska Act inMay 1854

Division GrowsNorthern Democrats in the House split almost

evenly on the vote revealing deep divisions inthe party Many Northerners became convincedthat compromise with the South was no longerpossible Sam Houston senator from Texas pre-dicted that the bill ldquowill convulse [upset] thecountry from Maine to the Rio Granderdquo

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

Challenges to Slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

Calhoun opposed Clayrsquos plan He believedthat the only way to save the Union was to pro-tect slavery If Congress admitted California as afree state Calhoun warned the Southern stateshad to leave the Union

Three days later Webster gave an eloquentspeech in support of Clayrsquos plan He argued thatantislavery forces lost little in agreeing to thecompromise

ldquoI would rather hear of natural blasts andmildews war pestilence and famine than tohear gentlemen talk of secessionrdquo

Webster reasoned that geography would pre-vent slavery from taking root in the new territo-ries since most of the land was not suited forplantations What was most important was topreserve the Union

The Compromise of 1850Clayrsquos plan could not pass as a complete pack-

age Too many members of Congress objected toone part of it or another President Taylor alsoopposed the plan and threatened to use forceagainst the South if states tried to secede

Then in July President Taylor suddenly diedThe new president Millard Fillmore supportedsome form of compromise At the same timeStephen A Douglas a young senator from Illi-nois took charge of efforts to resolve the crisisDouglas divided Clayrsquos plan into a series of

measures that Congress could vote on sepa-rately In this way members of Congress wouldnot have to support proposals they opposed

President Fillmore persuaded several Whigrepresentatives to abstainmdashnot to cast votesmdashonmeasures they opposed Congress finally passeda series of five separate bills in August and Sep-tember of 1850 Taken together these lawsknown as the Compromise of 1850 containedthe five main points of Clayrsquos original plan Fill-more called the compromise a ldquofinal settlementrdquoof the conflict between North and South Thepresident would soon be proved wrong

The Fugitive Slave ActThe Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required all citizens to help catch runaways

Anyone who aided a fugitive could be fined or imprisoned People in the Southbelieved the law would force Northerners to recognize the rights of SouthernersInstead enforcement of the law led to mounting anger in the North convincingmore people of the evils of slavery

After passage of the Fugitive Slave Act slaveholders stepped up their efforts tocatch runaway slaves They even tried to capture runaways who had lived in free-dom in the North for years Sometimes they seized African Americans who werenot escaped slaves and forced them into slavery

Writer Harriet BeecherStowe called the FugitiveSlave Act a ldquonightmareabominationrdquo Stowe thedaughter of a New Eng-land minister spent partof her childhood inCincinnati There on thebanks of the Ohio Rivershe saw enslaved peoplebeing loaded onto shipsto be taken to slave mar-kets As an adult and the

wife of a religion profes-sor she wrote manybooks and stories aboutsocial reform Her mostfamous work was a novelabout the evils of slaveryUncle Tomrsquos Cabin waspublished in 1852Packed with dramaticincidents and vivid char-acters the novel showsslavery as a cruel andbrutal system

Uncle Tomrsquos Cabinquickly became a sensa-tion selling over 300000copies in the first year ofpublication The book hadsuch an impact on publicfeelings about slaverythat when Abraham Lin-coln was introduced toStowe during the CivilWar he said so youldquowrote the book thatstarted this great warrdquo

Resistance to the LawIn spite of the penalties many Northerners

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

Challenges to Slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

made itrdquomdashStephen Douglas

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

Learning From History

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Passage of the ActMany Northerners protested strongly Douglasrsquos

plan to repeal the Missouri Compromise wouldallow slavery into areas that had been free formore than 30 years Opponents of the billdemanded that Congress vote down the bill

Southerners in Congress however providedsolid support for the bill They expected thatKansas would be settled in large part by slave-holders from Missouri who would vote to keepslavery legal With some support from NorthernDemocrats and the backing of President PierceCongress passed the KansasndashNebraska Act inMay 1854

Division GrowsNorthern Democrats in the House split almost

evenly on the vote revealing deep divisions inthe party Many Northerners became convincedthat compromise with the South was no longerpossible Sam Houston senator from Texas pre-dicted that the bill ldquowill convulse [upset] thecountry from Maine to the Rio Granderdquo

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

Challenges to Slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

made itrdquomdashStephen Douglas

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

The Fugitive Slave ActThe Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required all citizens to help catch runaways

Anyone who aided a fugitive could be fined or imprisoned People in the Southbelieved the law would force Northerners to recognize the rights of SouthernersInstead enforcement of the law led to mounting anger in the North convincingmore people of the evils of slavery

After passage of the Fugitive Slave Act slaveholders stepped up their efforts tocatch runaway slaves They even tried to capture runaways who had lived in free-dom in the North for years Sometimes they seized African Americans who werenot escaped slaves and forced them into slavery

Writer Harriet BeecherStowe called the FugitiveSlave Act a ldquonightmareabominationrdquo Stowe thedaughter of a New Eng-land minister spent partof her childhood inCincinnati There on thebanks of the Ohio Rivershe saw enslaved peoplebeing loaded onto shipsto be taken to slave mar-kets As an adult and the

wife of a religion profes-sor she wrote manybooks and stories aboutsocial reform Her mostfamous work was a novelabout the evils of slaveryUncle Tomrsquos Cabin waspublished in 1852Packed with dramaticincidents and vivid char-acters the novel showsslavery as a cruel andbrutal system

Uncle Tomrsquos Cabinquickly became a sensa-tion selling over 300000copies in the first year ofpublication The book hadsuch an impact on publicfeelings about slaverythat when Abraham Lin-coln was introduced toStowe during the CivilWar he said so youldquowrote the book thatstarted this great warrdquo

Resistance to the LawIn spite of the penalties many Northerners

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Passage of the ActMany Northerners protested strongly Douglasrsquos

plan to repeal the Missouri Compromise wouldallow slavery into areas that had been free formore than 30 years Opponents of the billdemanded that Congress vote down the bill

Southerners in Congress however providedsolid support for the bill They expected thatKansas would be settled in large part by slave-holders from Missouri who would vote to keepslavery legal With some support from NorthernDemocrats and the backing of President PierceCongress passed the KansasndashNebraska Act inMay 1854

Division GrowsNorthern Democrats in the House split almost

evenly on the vote revealing deep divisions inthe party Many Northerners became convincedthat compromise with the South was no longerpossible Sam Houston senator from Texas pre-dicted that the bill ldquowill convulse [upset] thecountry from Maine to the Rio Granderdquo

Describing Write a definition ofldquopopular sovereigntyrdquo in your own words

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

Challenges to Slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

Union or Secession President Abraham Lincoln and JeffersonDavis president of the Confederacy wereinaugurated just several weeks apart Theseexcerpts from their Inaugural Addresses willhelp you understand differing points of viewabout secession from the United States in 1861

Abraham Lincoln

1 According to Lincoln what was theonly substantial disagreementbetween the North and the South

2 What did Lincoln compare theUnited States to

3 Did Lincoln and Davis say anythingin their inaugural addresses thatwas similar

Learning From History

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

In effect the more populous Northhad outvoted the South The victoryfor Lincoln was a short-lived onehowever for the nation Lincoln wasto lead would soon disintegrate

451CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

As Lincoln prepared for his inauguration onMarch 4 1861 people in both the North and theSouth wondered what he would say and doThey wondered too what would happen in Vir-

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

442 CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Writer Harriet BeecherStowe called the FugitiveSlave Act a ldquonightmareabominationrdquo Stowe thedaughter of a New Eng-land minister spent partof her childhood inCincinnati There on thebanks of the Ohio Rivershe saw enslaved peoplebeing loaded onto shipsto be taken to slave mar-kets As an adult and the

wife of a religion profes-sor she wrote manybooks and stories aboutsocial reform Her mostfamous work was a novelabout the evils of slaveryUncle Tomrsquos Cabin waspublished in 1852Packed with dramaticincidents and vivid char-acters the novel showsslavery as a cruel andbrutal system

Uncle Tomrsquos Cabinquickly became a sensa-tion selling over 300000copies in the first year ofpublication The book hadsuch an impact on publicfeelings about slaverythat when Abraham Lin-coln was introduced toStowe during the CivilWar he said so youldquowrote the book thatstarted this great warrdquo

Resistance to the LawIn spite of the penalties many Northerners

refused to cooperate with the lawrsquos enforce-ment The Underground Railroad a network offree African Americans and whites helped run-aways make their way to freedom Antislaverygroups tried to rescue African Americans whowere being pursued or to free those who werecaptured In Boston members of one suchgroup followed federal agents shouting ldquoSlavehuntersmdashthere go the slave huntersrdquo Peoplecontributed funds to buy the freedom ofAfrican Americans Northern juries refused toconvict those accused of breaking the FugitiveSlave Law

Explaining What was the purposeof the Underground Railroad

The KansasndashNebraska ActFranklin Pierce a New Hampshire Democrat

who supported the Fugitive Slave Act becamepresident in 1853 Pierce intended to enforce theFugitive Slave Act and his actions hardened theopposition

In 1854 the dispute over slavery erupted inCongress again The cause was a bill introducedby Stephen A Douglas the Illinois senator whohad forged the Compromise of 1850

Hoping to encourage settlement of the Westand open the way for a transcontinental rail-road Douglas proposed organizing the regionwest of Missouri and Iowa as the territories ofKansas and Nebraska Douglas was trying towork out a plan for the nation to expand thatboth the North and the South would acceptInstead his bill reopened the conflict about slav-ery in the territories

Because of their location Kansas andNebraska seemed likely to become free statesBoth lay north of 36deg30N latitude the line estab-lished in the Missouri Compromise as theboundary of slavery Douglas knew that South-erners would object to having Kansas andNebraska become free states because it wouldgive the North an advantage in the Senate As aresult Douglas proposed abandoning the Mis-souri Compromise and letting the settlers ineach territory vote on whether to allow slaveryHe called this popular sovereigntymdashallowingthe people to decide

Passage of the ActMany Northerners protested strongly Douglasrsquos

plan to repeal the Missouri Compromise wouldallow slavery into areas that had been free formore than 30 years Opponents of the billdemanded that Congress vote down the bill

Southerners in Congress however providedsolid support for the bill They expected thatKansas would be settled in large part by slave-holders from Missouri who would vote to keepslavery legal With some support from NorthernDemocrats and the backing of President PierceCongress passed the KansasndashNebraska Act inMay 1854

Division GrowsNorthern Democrats in the House split almost

evenly on the vote revealing deep divisions inthe party Many Northerners became convincedthat compromise with the South was no longerpossible Sam Houston senator from Texas pre-dicted that the bill ldquowill convulse [upset] thecountry from Maine to the Rio Granderdquo

Conflict in KansasRight after passage of the KansasndashNebraska

Act proslavery and antislavery groups rushedsupporters into Kansas In the spring of 1855when elections took place in Kansas a proslav-ery legislature was elected

Although only about 1500 voters lived inKansas at the time more than 6000 people castballots in the elections Thousands of proslaverysupporters from Missouri had crossed the bor-der just to vote in the election These Missouri-ans traveled in armed groups and becameknown as border ruffians Soon after the elec-tion the new Kansas legislature passed lawssupporting slavery One law even restrictedpolitical office to proslavery candidates

The antislavery people refused to accept theselaws Instead they armed themselves held theirown elections and adopted a constitution thatbanned slavery By January 1856 rival govern-ments existed in Kansas one for and one againstslavery Each asked Congress for recognition Toconfuse matters further President Pierce and theSenate favored the proslavery government whilethe House backed the forces opposed to slavery

Challenges to Slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

made itrdquomdashStephen Douglas

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Challenges to Slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

made itrdquomdashStephen Douglas

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Challenges to Slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

made itrdquomdashStephen Douglas

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Challenges to Slavery

CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Many people considered John Brown to be a radical murderer while others viewedhim as a fighter for the cause of freedom When he was executed in 1859 the Anglo-African Magazine wrote that as John Brown left the jail ldquoa black woman with a littlechild in her arms stood near his way He stopped for a moment in his coursestooped over and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brother-hood of man kissed the child affectionatelyrdquo

A New Political PartyEven before Brownrsquos raid other events had driven the North and South

further apart After the KansasndashNebraska Act the Democratic Party began todivide along sectional lines with Northern Democrats leaving the party Differ-ing views over the slavery issue destroyed the Whig Party

In 1854 antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces with Free-Soilers toform the Republican Party The new party was determined to rally ldquofor the estab-lishment of liberty and the overthrow of the Slave Powerrdquo

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

In effect the more populous Northhad outvoted the South The victoryfor Lincoln was a short-lived onehowever for the nation Lincoln wasto lead would soon disintegrate

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

The Republicans challenged the proslaveryWhigs and Democrats choosing candidates torun in the state and congressional elections of1854 Their main message was that the govern-ment should ban slavery from new territories

The Republican Party quickly showed itsstrength in the North In the election the Repub-licans won control of the House of Representa-tives and of several state governments In theSouth the Republicans had almost no support

Northern Democrats suffered a beatingAlmost three-fourths of the Democratic candi-dates from free states lost in 1854 The party wasincreasingly becoming a Southern party

The Election of 1856Democrats and Republicans met again in the

presidential election of 1856 The Whig Partydisintegrating over the slavery issue did notoffer a candidate of its own

The Republicans chose John C Freacutemont ofCalifornia as their candidate for president Freacute-mont had gained fame as an explorer in the WestThe party platform called for free territories andits campaign slogan became ldquoFree soil freespeech and Freacutemontrdquo

The Democratic Party nominated JamesBuchanan of Pennsylvania an experienced diplo-mat and former member of Congress The partyendorsed the idea of popular sovereignty

The American Party or Know Nothings hadgrown quickly between 1853 and 1856 by attack-ing immigrants The Know Nothings nominatedformer president Millard Fillmore

The presidential vote divided along rigid sec-tional lines Buchanan won the election win-ning all of the Southern states except Marylandand received 174 electoral votes compared to 114for Freacutemont and 8 for Fillmore Freacutemont did notreceive a single electoral vote south of theMason-Dixon line but he carried 11 of the 16free states

Explaining What stand did the newRepublican party take on the issue of slavery

The Dred Scott DecisionPresident Buchanan took office on March 4

1857 Two days later the Supreme Courtannounced a decision about slavery and theterritories that shook the nation

Dred Scott was an enslaved African Ameri-can bought by an army doctor in Missouri aslave state In the 1830s the doctor moved hishousehold to Illinois a free state and then to theWisconsin Territory where slavery was bannedby the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Later the

family returned to Missouri wherethe doctor died In 1846 with the

help of antislavery lawyersScott sued for his freedom Heclaimed he should be freebecause he had once livedon free soil Eleven yearslater in the midst of grow-ing anger over the slavery

issue the case reached theSupreme Court

The case attracted enormousattention While the immediate

issue was Dred Scottrsquos status the

made itrdquomdashStephen Douglas

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

ldquoThis Union canexist forever

divided into freeand slave statesas our fathers

made itrdquomdashStephen Douglas

Court also had the opportunity to rule on thequestion of slavery in territories Many Ameri-cans hoped that the Court would resolve theissue for good

The Courtrsquos DecisionThe Courtrsquos decision electrified the nation

Chief Justice Roger B Taney (TAWbullnee) saidthat Dred Scott was still a slave As a slave Scottwas not a citizen and had no right to bring a law-suit Taney could have stopped there but hedecided to address the broader issues

Taney wrote that Scottrsquos residence on free soildid not make him free An enslaved person wasproperty and the Fifth Amendment prohibitsCongress from taking away property withoutldquodue process of lawrdquo

Finally Taney wrote that Congress had nopower to prohibit slavery in any territory TheMissouri Compromisemdashwhich had banned slav-ery north of 36deg30N latitudemdashwas unconstitu-tional For that matter so was popularsovereignty Not even the voters in a territorycould prohibit slavery because that wouldamount to taking away a personrsquos property Ineffect the decision meant that the Constitutionprotected slavery (See page 997 of the Appendix for a sum-

mary of the Dred Scott decision)

Reaction to the DecisionRather than settling the issue the Supreme

Courtrsquos decision divided the country even moreMany Southerners were elated The Court hadreaffirmed what many in the South had alwaysmaintained Nothing could legally prevent the

spread of slavery Northern Democrats werepleased that the Republicansrsquo main issuemdashrestricting the spread of slaverymdashhad beenruled unconstitutional

Republicans and other antislavery groupswere outraged calling the Dred Scott decision ldquoawicked and false judgmentrdquo and ldquothe greatestcrimerdquo ever committed in the nationrsquos courts

Lincoln and DouglasIn the congressional election of 1858 the Sen-

ate race in Illinois was the center of nationalattention The contest pitted the current senatorDemocrat Stephen A Douglas against Republi-can challenger Abraham Lincoln People con-sidered Douglas a likely candidate for presidentin 1860 Lincoln was nearly an unknown

Douglas a successful lawyer had joined theDemocratic Party and won election to the Housein 1842 and to the Senate in 1846 Short stockyand powerful Douglas was called ldquothe LittleGiantrdquo He disliked slavery but thought that thecontroversy over it would interfere with thenationrsquos growth He believed the issue could beresolved through popular sovereignty

Born in the poor backcountry of KentuckyAbraham Lincoln moved to Indiana as a childand later to Illinois Like Douglas Lincoln wasintelligent ambitious and a successful lawyerHe had little formal educationmdashbut excellentpolitical instincts Although Lincoln saw slaveryas morally wrong he admitted there was noeasy way to eliminate slavery where it alreadyexisted He was certain though that slaveryshould not be allowed to spread

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

3 Did Lincoln and Davis say anythingin their inaugural addresses thatwas similar

Learning From History

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

In effect the more populous Northhad outvoted the South The victoryfor Lincoln was a short-lived onehowever for the nation Lincoln wasto lead would soon disintegrate

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

The LincolnndashDouglas DebatesNot as well known as Douglas Lincoln chal-

lenged the senator to a series of debates Dou-glas reluctantly agreed The two met seventimes in August September and October of 1858in cities and villages throughout Illinois Thou-sands came to these debates The main topic ofcourse was slavery

During the debate at Freeport Lincolnpressed Douglas about his views on popular sovereignty Could the people of a territorylegally exclude slavery before achieving state-hood Douglas replied that the people couldexclude slavery by refusing to pass laws pro-tecting slaveholdersrsquo rights Douglasrsquos responsewhich satisfied antislavery followers but losthim support in the South became known as theFreeport Doctrine

Douglas claimed that Lincoln wanted AfricanAmericans to be fully equal to whites Lincolndenied this Still Lincoln said ldquoin the right toeat the bread which his own hand earns [anAfrican American] is my equal and the equal of[Senator] Douglas and the equal of every livingmanrdquo The real issue Lincoln said is ldquobetweenthe men who think slavery a wrong and thosewho do not think it wrong The RepublicanParty thinks it wrongrdquo

Following the debates Douglas won a narrowvictory in the election Lincoln lost the electionbut gained a national reputation

The Raid on Harpers FerryAfter the 1858 elections Southerners began to

feel threatened by growing Republican powerIn late 1859 an act of violence greatly increasedtheir fears On October 16 the abolitionist JohnBrown led 18 men both whites and AfricanAmericans on a raid on Harpers Ferry VirginiaHis target was an arsenal a storage place forweapons and ammunition Brownmdashwho hadkilled five proslavery Kansans in 1856mdashhopedto start a rebellion against slaveholders by arm-ing enslaved African Americans His raid hadbeen financed by a group of abolitionists

Brown and his men were quickly defeated bylocal citizens and federal troops Brown wasconvicted of treason and murder and was sen-tenced to hang His execution caused an uproarin the North Some antislavery Northernersincluding Republican leaders denouncedBrownrsquos use of violence Others viewed Brownas a hero Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson calledBrown a martyrmdasha person who dies for a greatcause

John Brownrsquos death became a rallying pointfor abolitionists When Southerners learned ofBrownrsquos connection to abolitionists their fearsof a great Northern conspiracy against themseemed to be confirmed The nation was on thebrink of disaster

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

2 What did Lincoln compare theUnited States to

3 Did Lincoln and Davis say anythingin their inaugural addresses thatwas similar

Learning From History

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

In effect the more populous Northhad outvoted the South The victoryfor Lincoln was a short-lived onehowever for the nation Lincoln wasto lead would soon disintegrate

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

As Lincoln prepared for his inauguration onMarch 4 1861 people in both the North and theSouth wondered what he would say and doThey wondered too what would happen in Vir-

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

2 What did Lincoln compare theUnited States to

3 Did Lincoln and Davis say anythingin their inaugural addresses thatwas similar

Learning From History

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

In effect the more populous Northhad outvoted the South The victoryfor Lincoln was a short-lived onehowever for the nation Lincoln wasto lead would soon disintegrate

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

As Lincoln prepared for his inauguration onMarch 4 1861 people in both the North and theSouth wondered what he would say and doThey wondered too what would happen in Vir-

secession would not be permitted vowing tohold federal property in the South and toenforce the laws of the United States At thesame time Lincoln pleaded with the people ofthe South for reconciliation

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

Abraham Lincolnrsquos Inaugural

Address March 4 1861

One section of our country

believes slavery is right and ought to

be extended while the other believes it

is wrong and ought not to be extended

This is the only substantial dispute

Physically speaking we can not separate We can not remove

our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable

wall between them A husband and wife may be divorced and go

out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other but the

different parts of our country can not do this

In your hands my dissatisfied fellow countrymen and not in

mine is the momentous issue of civil war

450 CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

Union or Secession President Abraham Lincoln and JeffersonDavis president of the Confederacy wereinaugurated just several weeks apart Theseexcerpts from their Inaugural Addresses willhelp you understand differing points of viewabout secession from the United States in 1861

Abraham Lincoln

2 What did Lincoln compare theUnited States to

3 Did Lincoln and Davis say anythingin their inaugural addresses thatwas similar

Learning From History

Jefferson Davisrsquos Inaugural Address February 18 1861As a necessity not a choice we have resorted to theremedy of separation and henceforth our energies mustbe directed to the conduct of our own affairs and the[continuation] of the Confederacy which we haveformed If a just perception of mutual interest shallpermit us peaceably to pursue our separate polit-ical career my most earnest desire will havebeen fulfilled But if this be denied to us [we will be forced] to appeal to arms

Jefferson Davis

Douglas for the presidency and sup-ported popular sovereignty South-ern Democratsmdashvowing to upholdslaverymdashnominated John C Breck-inridge of Kentucky and supportedthe Dred Scott decision Moderatesfrom both the North and South whohad formed the ConstitutionalUnion Party nominated John Bell ofTennessee This party took no posi-tion on slavery

Lincoln NominatedThe Republicans nominated Abra-

ham Lincoln Their platformdesigned to attract voters from manyquarters was that slavery should beleft undisturbed where it existed butthat it should be excluded from theterritories Many Southerners fearedhowever that a Republican victorywould encourage slave revolts

Lincoln ElectedWith the Democrats divided Lin-

coln won a clear majority of the elec-toral votesmdash180 out of 303 Hereceived only 40 percent of the pop-ular vote but this was more thanany other candidate Douglas wassecond with 30 percent of the vote

The vote was along purely sec-tional lines Lincolnrsquos name did noteven appear on the ballot in mostSouthern states but he won everyNorthern state Breckinridge sweptthe South and Bell took most borderstates Douglas won only the state ofMissouri and three of New Jerseyrsquosseven electoral votes

In effect the more populous Northhad outvoted the South The victoryfor Lincoln was a short-lived onehowever for the nation Lincoln wasto lead would soon disintegrate

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

As Lincoln prepared for his inauguration onMarch 4 1861 people in both the North and theSouth wondered what he would say and doThey wondered too what would happen in Vir-

secession would not be permitted vowing tohold federal property in the South and toenforce the laws of the United States At thesame time Lincoln pleaded with the people ofthe South for reconciliation

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

451CHAPTER 15 Road to Civil War

The South SecedesLincoln and the Republicans had promised

not to disturb slavery where it already existedMany people in the South however did nottrust the party fearing that the Republicanadministration would not protect Southernrights On December 20 1860 the Southrsquos long-standing threat to leave the Union became areality when South Carolina held a special con-vention and voted to secede

Attempt at CompromiseEven after South Carolinarsquos action many

people still wished to preserve the Union Thequestion was how As other Southern statesdebated secessionmdashwithdrawal from theUnionmdashleaders in Washington DC workedfrantically to fashion a last-minute compromiseOn December 18 1860 Senator John Critten-den of Kentucky proposed a series of amend-ments to the Constitution Central to Critten-denrsquos plan was a provision to protect slaverysouth of 36deg30N latitudemdashthe line set by theMissouri Compromisemdashin all territories ldquonowheld or hereafter acquiredrdquo

Republicans considered this unacceptableThey had just won an election on the principlethat slavery would not be extended in any terri-tories ldquoNow we are toldrdquo Lincoln said

ldquothe government shall be broken up unlesswe surrender to those we have beatenrdquo

Leaders in the South also rejected the planldquoWe spit upon every plan to compromiserdquoexclaimed one Southern leader ldquoNo humanpower can save the Unionrdquo wrote another

The ConfederacyBy February 1861 Texas Louisiana Missis-

sippi Alabama Florida and Georgia had joinedSouth Carolina and also seceded Delegatesfrom these states and South Carolina met inMontgomery Alabama on February 4 to form anew nation and government Calling themselvesthe Confederate States of America they choseJefferson Davis a senator from Mississippi astheir president

Southerners justified secession with the the-ory of statesrsquo rights The states they argued hadvoluntarily chosen to enter the Union Theydefined the Constitution as a contract among theindependent states Now because the nationalgovernment had violated that contractmdashbyrefusing to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act and bydenying the Southern states equal rights in theterritoriesmdashthe states were justified in leavingthe Union

Reactions to SecessionMany Southerners welcomed secession In

Charleston South Carolina people rang churchbells fired cannons and celebrated in thestreets A newspaper in Atlanta Georgia saidthe South ldquowill never submitrdquo and woulddefend its liberties no matter what the cost

Other Southerners however were alarmed A South Carolinian wrote

ldquoMy heart has been rent [torn] by thedestruction of my countrymdashthe dismember-ment of that great and glorious Unionrdquo

Virginian Robert E Lee expressed concern aboutthe future ldquoI see only that a fearful calamity isupon usrdquo he wrote

In the North some abolitionists preferred toallow the Southern states to leave If the Unioncould be kept together only by compromisingon slavery they declared then let the Union bedestroyed Most Northerners however believedthat the Union must be preserved For Lincolnthe issue was ldquowhether in a free government theminority have the right to break up the govern-ment whenever they chooserdquo

Presidential ResponsesLincoln had won the election but he was not

yet president James Buchananrsquos term ran untilMarch 4 1861 In December 1860 Buchanan senta message to Congress saying that the Southernstates had no right to secede Then he added thathe had no power to stop them from doing so

As Lincoln prepared for his inauguration onMarch 4 1861 people in both the North and theSouth wondered what he would say and doThey wondered too what would happen in Vir-

secession would not be permitted vowing tohold federal property in the South and toenforce the laws of the United States At thesame time Lincoln pleaded with the people ofthe South for reconciliation

Fort SumterThe South soon tested President Lincolnrsquos vow

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns

to hold federal property Confederate forces hadalready seized some United States forts withintheir states Although Lincoln did not want tostart a war by trying to take the forts back allow-ing the Confederates to keep them wouldamount to admitting their right to secede

On the day after his inauguration Lincolnreceived a dispatch from the commander of FortSumter a United States fort on an island guard-ing Charleston Harbor The message warnedthat the fort was low on supplies and that theConfederates demanded its surrender

The War BeginsLincoln responded by sending a message to

Governor Francis Pickens of South Carolina Heinformed Pickens that he was sending anunarmed expedition with supplies to FortSumter Lincoln promised that Union forceswould not ldquothrow in men arms or ammuni-tionrdquo unless they were fired upon The president thus left the decision to start shooting up to the Confederates

Confederate president Jefferson Davis and hisadvisers made a fateful choice They orderedtheir forces to attack Fort Sumter before theUnion supplies could arrive Confederate guns
