Brother versus
BrotherJohn Browns Raid on Harpers Ferry
-Perspective from a Southern Slaveholderthrough an October 20, 1859 entry:
John Brown
was anabolitionist
who
expressed
his
opposition
of slavery
with
violence.
During his
early ages,
his father
strongly
opposed slavery, which affected John
Browns beliefs on slavery. On October
16, 1859, he led a group of his
supporters to his farmhouse route to
Harpers Ferry to seize the federal arsenal
but unfortunately failed. His plan was to
obtain weapons and give them to slaves
for encouragement to riot against
slaveholders in the South, which had
frightened and angered Southern
slaveholders.
An angry Southern slaveholder expresses
his frustration
in thefollowing
passage as a
response to
John Browns
raid:
As a
slaveholder in
the South, I
am terribly
horrified of
this raid that a man named John Brown
had led. I am very fortunate to see that
the Virginia court had sentenced him to
death. If he had a larger amount of
slaves and his violence continued, I cant
imagine what would happen to my
family. My two sons and my wife, I
would not be able to support them
without my slaves. Even though I do not
treat them the way I should treat a
human being, I depend on them. My
whole family depends on them. Ive
worked so hard, shed blood and tears on

the farm alone to raise barely enough to
purchase a few slaves while my dear
wife was in labor with twins. I cant bear
to see my slaves to riot against me. It is
already worse enough to accept the fact
that the government has the possibility
of banning slavery. They are the support
of my family, the base of my family. The
idea of my slaves who would use
weapons frightens me to death. Since
Ive treated them so harshly, they would
do anything to hurt my family. But I
have never truly meant to treat them
like this, but if I dont, they would have
the courage to arm my family. I have
never asked for much, just a loving
family, my slaves being the support of
the family, and have enough to raise
them.

Lincolns Election of 1860-Perspective from a Northern Factory Workerthrough a November 18, 1860 entry:
May 1865 | 9
Brother vs.
324 words
IN JUNE OF 1860, the
Democrats have chosen StephenA. Douglas as a candidate to run
for president. Realizing there
were no chances of standing
against them, the Republicans
pleaded Abraham Lincoln for
help. They acknowledged that
Lincoln had a national reputation
and his beliefs were the same as
the Republicans. They thought
this would reinforce many
reforms that would be in favor of
antislavery, the Republicans goal,
banning slavery.
In the following, a Northern
factory worker expresses her
perspective for Lincolns victory
in the campaign:
As a factory worker, there is
not much to ask for. Just
maintain this job in this dreadful
factory. Ive lost my husband
and kids along the way here, and
Ive left my whole life back in
Europe. This job is all I have.
The wages this factory gives is
not much, barely enough to
support myself, and it is not
better than farming at all. The
machines are dangerous; eachday I have the anxiety of going to
work losing a finger or two.
Worst of all, these companies do
not have insurance if accidents
happen. My hopes had all faded
by the first few weeks of working.
However, when Lincoln had won the campaign f
residency over Stephen Douglas, my hopes h
come back for once. President Lincoln h
represented the North, and hopefully, he remai
true to his beliefs. And hopefully he would
able to protect the workers and give rights to u
This man is my only hope, he doesnt seem li
the person who would abuse his powers like t
other presidents Ive heard about from my t
other roommates in our dark, crowded, a
unsanitary small room. Our conditions at t
factory are worse enough, but if I had realiz
even where I lived would be as harsh as this
would never have had taken the chance
escape here. But hopefully... President Linco
can change this. All of this.

The Secession of South-Perspective from Abraham Lincoln
through a December 20, 1860 entry:
| State of America10
Brother vs.Brother
327 words
THE SECESSION of South Carolina happened just after Lincolns
victory of the campaign. As Lincoln won the campaign, Southerners
viewed Lincoln as a threat because of his beliefs and the fact that he
re resented the North.They believed that Lincoln would
completely wipe out slavery and
reform their social lives, causing
them to secede from the Union.
Abraham Lincoln expresses his
thoughts of the secession of South
Carolina in the following:
After winning the campaign, as
president, my first priority is to
keep the Union together. But
suddenly, South Carolina
immediately seceded. By winningthe campaign, I thought it would
be simple to unite the nation by
making small reforms in the
society.
However, the secession had led other
states to follow the footsteps of South
Carolina, which had frustrated me
deeply. A strong nation would have to
have every state and territory united.
But I have realized there is more work
to be done. When I succeeded in
winning the campaign against Stephen
Douglas, I have never expected myself
to abolish slavery completely. Even
though slavery is morally wrong, I
would not want to risk any possibilities
to disunite the Union. The only reason
I ran for the campaign was because of
my confidence in uniting the nation
successfully.
I would have ne

Starting Shots Battles Major Events
EARLY THIS MONTH, rising tensions between the Union and thenew Confederacy would become violent over one of the few forts inthe South left in Union hands. Fort Sumter, positioned in the middleof the focal trade harbor, Charleston Bay, was a sore thumb a
Union fort in the middle of Confederate lands. Despite variousattempts at diplomacy, the Confederacy finally turned violent overour presence at that fort and Sumter was put under siege. Thefollowing is a snippet of a soldier named Private OMalleys journalregarding the important first 33 hours of the war.

Our Commander, Major RobertAnderson, is troubled. I cannotblame him. The ultimatum hasbeen sent by the rebelling states now the Confederacy. Threeemissaries had been sent to meetwith the Commander, one of whichI recognized as a past senator,
James Chestnut, Jr. Theydemanded our surrender.
Major Anderson stood his ground.We would not give in. But I hold mydoubts, like many of my fellows onthis decision. We are a fortsurrounded by the Confederates, afort only at part of our full capacity(we have been working to try toinstall more guns and complete allconstruction)
and a fort surely to run out of supplies by the 15th evenwith strict rations. We had spent our days gnawing on theusual hardtack and jerky. I tried not to mind, but still mybody called for food as I lay in bed or drilled. And ounumber of meals are surely decreasing and I do not knowhow we will withstand an assault by the Confeds.
We are surrounded by the enemy.
So now we lay tensely in our beds or try to find somethingto distract ourselves quietly. Myself, for example, write inthis little companion of mine to let go of my thoughts. It isstill early morning, but I am sure that most of us in the forare wide-awake ever since the talks at some time estimate to be 0300. And so we wait.
I cannot hear much aside frommy ears ringing from theexplosions that have startedup. They echo through the fortwith each explosion and blow.It is not a real battle becausemost of us just sit and wait,with only a few shots for every
hundred of theirs to try toconserve our ammunition.With only a few shots able tobe fired, most of us are left totry to put out fires that havesprung up. The rain of shellsare constant and I find itdifficult to hear anything inthis mess.
The smoke is thickening andchoking so much. I cannotcontinue writing any longer. Imust go and help my fellowsresist the barrage. I may addmore to this entry later on...
We are surrendering. It is the
second day and we cannothold out any longer. Thebarracks are burning and weare all tired and hungry.

The Darkest DaySeptember 1862

Starting Shots
THE BLOODIEST BATTLE of this entire war sofar occurred just recently. It was just in one dayand brought the death upon death, injury uponinjury. It was: the Battle of Antietam (Confedscall it the Battle of Sharpsburg). September 17,1862 will be forever marked on our minds andhistory.
It began with General Lee of the Confederacydeciding to change up his strategy. MajorOMalley, a frequent correspondent with thismagazine gives a little insight onto the reasons ofsuch an audacious action: General Lees movewas actually quite strategic if you look at it. Theresults turned out wrong, very wrong, but if it hadgone right the rewards would have beenabsolutely worth it. For a win would have doneseveral things: it wouldve won Europeanrecognition as a separate country; the Confederatetroops could leech off our own farms during theharvest season, which would spare their owncountry the problem of feeding
everything; and it couldve forced
President Lincoln to work for apeaceful resolution and end thewar.
Only... the battle didnt endquite that smoothly for either side.Neither side could break the otherdespite several assaults. In the end,there are a reported over 23,000casualties for both sides. Sinceneither side could break the other,
Lee was forced to retreat due toexhaustion. Since his main goalwent unachieved, it is now countedas a technical victory for theUnion.
However, to many citizens, it doesnt feel like it. Thiwas a loss for all sides. Fathers, brothers, family are now
lost to us forever in this war against ourselves. It is a losthat solidifies our realization that this must end. This wahas been going on too long.
President Lincolns response was heard throughout thstates in his issue of the Emancipation Proclamation on th22nd. We are now truly fighting for freedom.

My English was not proper because I hadlack of education. I began to understand Englishwhen Master Patrick yelled at me and beat meup. This day is a moment to write down myexcitements. It is a big day for my race. Today,September 22, 1862, is the day that PresidentLincoln announced and declared ourindependence through the speech ofEmancipation Proclamation. From now on, I amfinally considered to be free in America, not justin the North, but in the South as well.
African Americans, my race has fought inthe Revolutionary War for years, trying to fightfor my freedom by helping the Americans.Many of us are willing to risk our lives for ourfreedom. But after the war ended, Southerners,unjust slaveholders never gave us our freedom!They betrayed us! They ruled upon us usingthose evil punishments and continued totortured us, starved us, and made us work day
and night. Those of my friends, planned to runaway. They heard that the Underground Trailcan lead us to different world, a world withfreedom and liberty up in the North. Overthere, we can be free forever and away fromcontrol. We planned and escaped at night withthe help of our friends in the North. We havesung songs to memorize our routes on our waythere. We had
15 people at the very beginning. Some diedfrom the crocodile in swamps. Crok and Isurvived in this journey. It was really dangerousand risky. I do not want my race to take therisks; the government should do something forus, ensure our rights and freedom!
The Union has heard us and raged the CivilWar. Although our country is at war, but I willfight for our friends in the South to share our
freedom! The victory at Antietam is a turningpoint for all of us. I saw lights in our future andfor our latter generations. Now that PresidentLincoln has declared freeing all enslavedpersons, our friends in the South dont have torisks their lives to go to the North anymore. Wecan be free anywhere if we won this war. So ourfriends: we must win! We have to help those ofus who are still suffering and beat up to death.This is the only hope to save our friends in thesouthern region. Hopefully through the
Lincolns speech we can receive more supportfrom the European liberals and the British willnot help the Confederacy to break our navalblockade.
Friends! Continue to fight for our freedom,for the better good of our community!
We are definitely short on supplies,especially on shoes. The men fought for theirlives and we must get them better supplies toprevent injuries!
Reports have given that there is a Uniontown and they have cavalry and shoes. Men andI have crossed the Potomac River, heading forthis town, Gettysburg of Pennsylvania.
Hopefully this invasion will be successfuland the other front at Vicksburg can survivethrough the siege, led by the John Pemberton.
If we can gain control of Gettysburg, we will
have a greater advantage against theConfederate forces.
Men! If we win this battle, this will be ourturning point. Invasion of the North will give us

more control of land use and roads.We will charge through the city with our
friends in the West and South. We shall defeatthe Union together!
-from General Robert E. Lee (Battle of Gettysburg, officially started onJuly 1, 1863)
This Battle of Gettysburg lasted for threedays. Surprisingly, General George E. Pickettand General A.P. Hill have attack. They hadbetter weapons, guns and cannons that shot our
men. Men were shot, thousands of them diedbravely! I figured that the Union is so betterthan our tactic. Although, we had a greatcasualty compared to the other battles in theCivil War, the Confederate suffered a highernumber of injuries and death. They were threetimes more than ours. They have sacrifice mento win this battle.
I had failed to win this battle for my men,my country. It was my fault; it is I who havelost this fight.
This is a turning point for the North. We canno longer receive supports from the Europeansand recognize internationally, theConfederates, as an independent. However, we
shall fight until we can no longer fight! Wemust protect our belief and land. Withoutslavery, our nation will not last. The nation willfall into economic crisis. So men, we willcontinue to fight until we see hope!
[The battle of Vicksburg had high casualties.The United States Colored Troops wasestablished and they fought in this war, provingthat they are not just troubled, but they arebrave soldiers. This is known as the PickettsCharge and dialogues were actually from Lee.]
-from General Ulysses S. Grant, head of the Union army
After President Lincoln has received myletter to rage a way with Confederates inVicksburg, President Lincoln had responded,[...] what a lot of land these fellows hold, of
which Vicksburg is the key! The war can neverbe brought to a close until that key is in ourpocket.... We can take all the northern ports ofthe Confederacy, and they can defy us from

Vicksburg." I launched a full scale attack onthe Confederate at the city of Vicksburg. Thecontrol of the Mississippi River is the key tovictory of this war. If we, the Union, can gaincontrol of this river, we will have an advantage.The Mississippi River is the last majorstronghold of the Confederates. If my men and
I gained the control of this river, we can breakup the South and the West connection.
Today the Union has sent me a notification
that the British is willing to support the South ifthey have won a major battle. The Europeanscan potentially recognize the dependence ofConfederate government. Vicksburgdetermines if South will be aid by theEuropeans.
Men, we must win this battle and this will be
our turning point! We must fight until GeneralPemberto surrender!
-from General Ulysses S. Grant, head of the Union army
Today is the celebration of our blood and tears, a victory at Vicksburg. General John Pemberton,head of the Confederate Army, finally surrendered after 47 Siege Days. We didnt want to put the cityunder siege, but attacks inflicted too much casualties. People in the city have been starved for days
after we cut off all supplies from importation.War is inevitable and bloody. But the victory at Vicksburg will be our hope and it will break and
lower the morale of Confederates! Without a doubt, the British, the Europeans, will not reinforce andsupport the Confederates further more. Without this last stronghold, the Confederates will not be ableto travel and trade. We, Union, will protect this land from regaining this boundary. Confederates willnot be the same. The power is greatly weaken. Men, this is our turning point. The fall of theConfederates and the end of this war shall come soon!

*From the Translator: Im hating this black Negro. I still cant believe slaverys been outlawed. Damnedblacks Hmph. He were my slave, Id whip him for every time a breath went in and outta his goddamnemouth. Well, okay, I maybe did put in the part about farting to humiliate him. Hmph. I do know I shouldnhave done that. Know why? Because it doesnt take a fancy insult to make a black look like a total ass.
I hate this man so much. He really didnt pay attention to the speech at all; it was a speech that bothNortherners and Southerners could enjoy and relate to without disagreement. It was also only two minutelong, whereas the gentleman before him took something like two hours. Christ, it was a relief for us all when
Lincolns address took such a short time. Now, Im no historian, but I do say that this was a speech that puinto perspective the struggles between North and South, and it was a damned good speech. Not that itll havemuch significance later, when all this war stuff is over. Nope, there was no applause at the ending or coverageby the local newspapers in the weeks since its happened. I predict nothing to come out of this speech.

Birchwood News brings you, the people of the newly formed Confederate States ofAmerica, this special news report.
General William Tecumseh Sherman of the Northern forces has just declared his terrifyingMarch to the Sea over. It was perhaps the first display of what todays war experts arecalling total war, or the destructionofeverything, not purely an opposingarmy, for war purposes.
During the March, Shermanreportedly ordered his men to burnanything useful to our army to theground, and our messengers have justgiven us some surprising and terrifyingstatistics. Shermans March has incurredabout $100 million in damages, burningand destroying about $80 million inproperty and only stealing $20 millionfor his own division. 5000 horses, 4000mules, 13,000 head of cattle, 9.5 millionpounds of corn and a whopping 10.5million pounds of fodder have beeneither stolen or destroyed, and 10,000slaves have been killed of causes such as
