Ch 14 Sec 4

THE COMING OF THE CIVIL WAR

I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW THE ELECTION OF

ABRAHAM LINCOLN SPARKED THE SECESSION

OF SOUTHERN STATES

Election of 1860

• Lincoln popular because of L-D debates• Democrats split

North – Douglas – Supports Popular Sovereignty

South V.P. John Breckinridge – Supports slavery even though secession

• Constitution Union Party – John Bell – Against secession and supports slavery

THINK!!!

• What happens to a political party when its vote is split?

• What happens when there is a third party?

• Is it any wonder Lincoln won?

Secession Chronology

• Nov. 1860 – Lincoln elected• Dec. 1860 – S. Carolina• Jan. 1861 – Miss., FLA., ALA., GEO., LA.• Feb. – TX• Feb. C.S.A. born - New Constitution.

Jefferson Davis made President

• March 4th 1861 – Lincoln inaugurated• March 6th – CSA asks for 100,000

volunteers• April 12, CSA attacks Fort Sumter in

Charleston• April 13, Fort Sumter surrenders• April 16, Lincoln calls for 75,000 volunteers

• April 17, VA secedes• May – AK., TN., NC.

Why the war?

Why the war?- Slavery- Sectionalism- Nationalism / Honor- States rights- Free soil- Tariffs- Election of Lincoln
