effective• Trade in southern ports
dropped 90%• Confederates took an
abandoned Union warship and renamed it Virginia– Covered it with iron plates– Shooting it with cannonballs
ineffective

The War So Far
![Page 14: 1862: Antietam and Emancipation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681631d550346895dd396df/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The War So Far The Confederacy was hoping that Great Britain and France might help them in the war, giving the Confederacy an advantage.
![Page 15: 1862: Antietam and Emancipation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681631d550346895dd396df/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The War So FarWhat is the war about?Preserving the Union or Freeing the Slaves?
![Page 16: 1862: Antietam and Emancipation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681631d550346895dd396df/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The War So FarReasons a Victory was Needed:
– Lincoln wanted to show that his government was strong and could support or “back up” the proclamation.
– Lincoln didn’t want it to appear that his government was weak, and that he was asking the slaves to rebel against their masters.

Key items to remember from today’s lesson
• The “bloodiest” day in American history was the Battle of Antietam, Maryland.
• The Union “victory” at Antietam allowed President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
• Great Britain and France remained neutral and did not enter the war on the side of the Confederacy.
• The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in the Confederate States(Eventually all states would free their slaves)
• With African Americans joining the armed forces, the United States had a greater advantage over the Confederate States because of its number of soldiers and sailors.
