I. Effect of the Mexican War “Conscience
Whigs,” led by JQ Adams’ son Charles Francis Adams, called the war immoral.
Whigs won control of Congress in 1846, called for no land, and criticized Manifest Destiny
![Page 2: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Wilmot Proviso
Rep. David Wilmot (D – PA) proposed that slavery be banned in all territories gained from the war.
Measure passed House, died in Senate.
![Page 3: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Free Soil Movement Supporters of the
Wilmot Proviso formed free soil movement, then Free Soil Party.
Focus on slavery’s impact on small farmers won many supporters, including Frederick Douglass, but not William Lloyd Garrison

review
Who called the Mexican War immoral? Who led them?
What did Whigs begin to criticize? What did the Wilmot Proviso do?
How successful was it? What party did Wilmot Proviso
supporters form? Why did abolitionists disagree over
the new party?
![Page 5: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
II. Election of 1848 Overworked, Polk
didn’t run, soon died Democrats – Lewis
Cass – squatter/popular sovereignty;
Free Soil – Martin Van Buren (D), and Charles Francis Adams (W); got N. Democratic support
![Page 6: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The election
Whigs ran “Old Rough and Ready” Zachary Taylor, a free soil slaveowner.
Taylor got 47% of vote; won electoral college;
![Page 7: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
3rd party impact
Free Soil votes in New York cost Cass the state (Taylor won it) and the election – spoiler role
Antislavery voters cost Clay the election in 1844, Cass in 1848
![Page 8: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
review
What became of Polk? Who ran in 1848 for the Democrats?
What was his issue? Who ran for Free Soil? Who was the
VP? Who ran for Whigs? What was his
slavery stand? Who won, by how much, and why?
![Page 9: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
III. 49ers
1848 John Sutter’s workers discovered gold in Sierra Nevada.
49ers – 80,000 mostly men poured into California looking for gold; San Francisco grew into major city.
![Page 10: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Life in gold rush
49ers lived among saloons, gamblers, prostitutes.
Indians, Mexicans, Chileans, Chinese mistreated, couldn’t dig in best areas; victims of nativist efforts.
![Page 11: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
End of gold
Much crime and diarrhea (California disease), little gold for latecomers to a site.
Many left by mid 1850s; others fought for land; Indians exterminated and enslaved.
![Page 12: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
review
Where was gold discovered, by whom?
How many 49ers? What kind of folks?
What city? How did it end? Who were the
winners and losers?
![Page 13: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
IV. Compromise of 1850 Quick settlement –
Taylor advised California to apply for statehood, Congress to admit it as a free state.
Dying Calhoun: 2 presidents, slaves as property can’t be limited – ignoring precedents of NW Ordinance, Missouri Compromise
![Page 14: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Other proposals 1. southerners -
extend Missouri Compromise line
2. Stephen Douglas – squatter/popular sovereignty
3. abolitionists like William Seward – restrict and eventually end slavery due to a “higher law than the Constitution.”
![Page 15: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The compromise
President Millard Fillmore, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Stephen Douglas
1. California free state
2. Utah and New Mexico, popular sovereignty
![Page 16: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
More compromise
3. fugitive slave law
4. D.C. – no slave trade
5. New Mexico wins land from Texas
Secession threatened by “fire eaters”
![Page 17: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

I. Anger over Fugitive Slave Act North got better
end of the Compromise of 1850: no other area to extend slavery to.
Fugitive Slave Law resented in the north, aimed at Tubman and the Underground Railroad.
![Page 19: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Underground Railroad Harriet Tubman had
gone South to get slaves 19 times, rescued 300, including her parents.
South lost 1000 runaways per year, likely less runaways then self-purchase or voluntary emancipation.
![Page 20: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Radicalized north
One runaway was captured in Boston and taken through the streets in front of angry northerners.
Massachussetts outlawed enforcing the “man-stealing” law – nullified it.
![Page 21: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
review
Who got the best of the Compromise of 1850?
Which part did the North resent? Who was the Fugitive Slave Act
aimed at? Harriet Tubman: how many trips and
how many slaves? How many runaways per year? What event was especially resented? What did Massachussetts do?
![Page 22: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
II. Other places for slavery Southerners
attempted takeovers of Nicaragua and Cuba, with disastrous and deadly results.
Pierce Administration’s Ostend Manifest0 - $120 million or invasion for Cuba – outraged free soilers.
![Page 23: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Gadsden Purchase
Gadsden Purchase spent $10 million on Mexican land for a railroad west.
Northern railroad line would have to go through unorganized territory, harassed by Indians.
![Page 24: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Douglas’ Kansas-Nebraska Act Sen. Stephen Douglas
(D – Ill) pushed Kansas-Nebraska Act through Congress; popular sovereignty in both territories.
He wanted railroad from Chicago, but law repealed Missouri Compromise and further radicalized north.
![Page 25: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
review
What two countries did Southerners attempt to take over?
What did the Ostend Manifesto do? What stopped it?
What did the Gadsden Purchase do? Why would northerners care?
What law did Stephen Douglas push? Why?
Name 2 effects of the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

III. Uncle Tom’s Cabin
Harriet Beecher Stowe published Uncle Tom’s Cabin in 1852.
Focused on splitting families, Fugitive Slave Act – Stowe said “God wrote it.”
![Page 27: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
impact
Millions sold; most politically influential book in history.
Lincoln when meeting Stowe: “So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war.”
![Page 28: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
More literary impact Readers swore against
Fugitive Slave Act; Europeans against intervention in a war.
Hinton Helper’s Impending Crisis in the South argued that slavery hurt poor whites; burned in South and mass distributed in the north.
![Page 29: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
review
Who wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin? What’s the book about? What impact did it have? What did Lincoln say? Who wrote Impending Crisis in the
South? How did the sections of the country
react to it?
![Page 30: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
IV. violence New England
Emigrant Aid Company and proslavery Missourians sent people into Kansas to vote.
A fraudulant proslavery and illegal antislavery government was set up.
![Page 31: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bleeding Kansas
1856 proslavery forces burned part of free soil Lawrence, Kansas.
John Brown led Pottowatomie Creek Massacre; he and sons hacked to pieces proslavery families
![Page 32: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
politics President James
Buchanan supported pro-slavery LeCompton Constitution; opposed by Stephen Douglas – no statehood.
Brooks (SC) beat Sumner (Mass) unconscious with a cane on the Senate floor, p. 414
![Page 33: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
review
Who sent people to Kansas? Why 2 governments? What was the
problem with each? Where did proslavery forces burn? What did John Brown and sons do? Why no statehood? What politicians
were on each side? Who caned whom?
![Page 34: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
I. Things falling apart
1856 Buchanan (D) defeated Fremont (R) and Fillmore (Know Nothing/American Party).
Concerns about Fremont’s character and fire eater secession undermined the Republicans.
![Page 35: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Dred Scott decision 2 days into Buchanan administration Dred Scott, living
with his master in Wisconsin and Illinois, sued for freedom.
Supreme Court: Scott can’t sue, not a citizen, but Chief Justice Taney not finished.
![Page 36: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Dred Scott importance
Slave is property which can be taken anywhere; laws limiting this are unconstitutional.
Missouri Compromise, popular sovereignty is unconstitutional; opposed by Douglas and abolitionists.
![Page 37: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
review
Why was Buchanan elected? Who was Dred Scott? Why did he lose? Who was the Chief Justice? Where
was he from? Why was his case important? Who criticized the decision?
![Page 38: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
II. More troubles
Panic of 1857 hurt north, led to 2 demands: Tariff and Homestead Act.
1858 Republican Lincoln (former Whig) challenged Douglas (D) for Illinois Senate: 7 Lincoln-Douglas debates.
![Page 39: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Freeport Doctrine
Lincoln: could states vote down slavery in light of Dred Scott?
Douglas’ Freeport Doctrine: anti-slavery state won’t pass the necessary slave laws; Douglas elected by Illinois state legislature.
![Page 40: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
John Brown at Harper’s Ferry October 1859:
Brown and 20 took over arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, Va (today WVa) but failed to stir uprising.
Brown hung, calm: a martyr in the north and terrorist in the south.
![Page 41: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
review
What demands came from the Panic of 1857?
How many Lincoln-Douglas debates? What did Lincoln claim Dred Scott
meant? What was Douglas’ Freeport
Doctrine? Who won, how? Where was John Brown’s raid? What
was his plan? How did he die? Why was he more
useful dead than alive?

III. Election of 1860
1860 depression-prone Abraham Lincoln got Republican nomination over “higher law” Seward.
Others: Douglas – Northern Democrat, Breckinridge – Southern Democrat, Bell.
![Page 43: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Lincoln and Secession
Lincoln won with 40% of vote, all from North, 180 electoral votes.
South Carolina seceded first, followed by deep South: Fl, Ga, Al, MS, LA, TX
![Page 44: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Reactions to secession 4 month lame duck
Buchanan: secession is illegal, but he saw no means to stop it.
Crittendon (K) Compromise rejected by Lincoln:
1. Slavery protected2. extend 36-30 line to
California; apply to Latin America
![Page 45: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Who got the nomination for Republicans?
Who else ran? How did Lincoln win? What states seceded? What was the Crittendon
Compromise?

IV. Civil War unavoidable February 1865
Montgomery, Alabama new nation formed: Confederate States of America.
President Jefferson Davis (MS), Vice President Alexander Stephens (GA)

Lincoln’s first great speech March 1861
Lincoln’s First Inaugural: Union perpetual, “mystic cords of memory…better angels of our nature.”
South had to return to nation or face war (like Jackson, Buchanan)
![Page 48: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Fort Sumter
Lincoln resupplied Fort Sumter, SC with unarmed ship.
Confederates fired on fort, which surrendered two days later – first shots of war.
![Page 49: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Review - id
New Southern nation Confederate President, VP Perpetual union “mystic cords of memory… better
angels of our nature.” First shots of Civil War Why were they fired?

I. More secession
After Fort Sumter Lincoln issued a call for 75,000 troops.
This caused more 4 more states to secede: Tennessee, Arkansas, North Carolina, Virginia
![Page 51: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Border states
Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia (1863) were loyal slave states
½ population of the South: Lincoln said he hoped God was on his side but had to have Kentucky.
![Page 52: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Awkward war
Lincoln avoided talk of abolition so as not to offend border states.
Crittendon had a son who as a general in each army; Lincoln had 4 brother in laws fighting for the South.
![Page 53: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
review
How did Lincoln respond to Fort Sumter?
What four states seceded next? What border states didn’t secede? Why didn’t Lincoln support
emancipation? What odd family situations were
there?

II. Advantages: South
Generals: Lee, Jackson
Soldiers: used guns, rode horses, rebel yell, passionate
Knew terrain Morale – defending
home Just had to keep
fighting

Northern advantages More of everthing: ¾ of wealth ¾ of railroads Controlled sea and
blockaded south 22 million people to
5.5 million. Soldiers: better
educated Lousy generals until
Grant

Soldiers’ problems Boredom, disease –
diarrhea, typhoid, malaria – killed twice as many as battle
Upper body wounds fatal; legs and arms amputated (30% died)
Nurses: Clara Barton, Dorothea Dix in North, Sally Tompkins in South

III. Diplomacy
European rulers sympathized with South; masses with North after reading Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
Europe had cotton surpluses, later bought from India and Egypt, imported corn and wheat from North.
![Page 59: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
tensions
Trent had Confederates on board trying to break the blockade; Alabama was made in Britain.
British-built ships captured more than 250 Yankee ships.

JEFFERSON DAVIS
More experience Too weak – states
defied him Georgia threatened
secession Brave, sincere, and
devoted but stubborn micromanager
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Tactful, quiet, patient, firm
Team of rivals Poetic More constitutional
power

Funding the war North: Excise tax,
income tax, tariff, print greenbacks – 80% inflation, sold war bonds, industrial boom, McCormick Reaper
South: less taxes, 9000% inflation, 2/3 to 2/5 of wealth

Wartime powers Blockade, increasing
army size, suspended habeas corpus, gave $2m in government money to private citizens, army ballots – all extraconstitutional
Draft avoided - $300 in north, 20 slaves in South; NY riots by Irish in north; “rich man’s war, poor man’s fight

Compare and contrast:
Lincoln and Davis Northern and Southern economics What extra powers did Lincoln
acquire? Why a “rich man’s war and a poor
man’s fight?”

Northern plan 1. blockade – run by
British – guns for cotton; ironsides Monitor v. Merrimac
2. capture Miss. River, split South
3. capture Richmond 4. free slaves 5. cut South to pieces
through Ga, Carolinas 6. attack troops
everywhere (Grant’s idea)

What happened at Bull Run/Manassas?
What one word best describes MacClellan? Why?
What were the 6 parts of the northern strategy?
Who broke the blockade? What was the importance of the
monitor and the merrimac?

II. Changing history
Lee defeated Gen. Pope at 2nd Battle of Bull Run, then headed north to Maryland – get n. territory, get help, keep fighting
At Antitiem Lee lost narrowly after McClellan’s men found Lee’s battles plans.

Preliminary emancipation Lincoln had a
victory and the border states, issued preliminary emancipation.
Southern slaves freed after Jan 1, 1863

Emancipation Proclamation Not in border
states – where he could he would not; where he would he could not.
Gives north a moral cause, keeps Europe out, entices slaves to escape

Where did Lee defeat Pope? Why Antitiem? Why did Lee lose? How did Lincoln respond? Why a preliminary proclamation? What exceptions to emancipation? What practical effect?

IV. Ending the war
Sherman took Chattanooga, burned Atlanta, total war march to the sea.

Election of 1864 Copperhead/Vallanding-
ham criticism Lincoln expected to
lose to Democrat McClellan, who would allow secession, end the war, and preserve slavery.
News of Sherman’s success resulted in Union Party landslide , lame duck push for 13th amendment

leader? Who ran against whom, from what parties, in
1864? Why did Lincoln win? Where did Grant attack Lee? Where did Lee surrender? When was Lincoln killed? How many died in the war?

I. Reconstruction and freedmen One NC slave
claimed to have been emancipated 10 times.
Response to freedom ranged from loyalty to masters to whipping them.

New institutions Mostly sharecroppers
and tenant farmers; Marriages legalized for love and inheritance.
New churches: Black Baptist, AME
wanted education:better life, read Bible, but too few black teachers

Freedmen’s Bureau
1865-1872 – primitive welfare agency provided food, health care, clothing, ed.; led by Union Gen. Oliver Howard (Howard University)
200,000 learned to read, but no “40 acres and a mule.”

review
How many times was one slave emancipated?
How did the response to freedom vary?
What did former slaves do right away?
What government agency? Who headed it? What did it do well and poorly?

II. Johnson
Tennessee champion of poor whites, refused to secede, appointed war governor.
Never accepted by Republicans when Lincoln died; 1st impeached

Presidential reconstruction 1863 Lincoln 10%
plan: a state rejoins the Union when 10% of voters pledge loyalty and accept emancipation.
Wade-Davis Bill: 50% allegiance, pocket vetoed by Lincoln.

Black codes
Johnson followed Lincoln’s example, granting pardons to Confederates.
Black codes: 1 year labor contracts, no jury duty, no landowning, no idleness

Johnson v. Radicals
Ex-Confederates like Stephens came back to Congress with more (not 3/5) power; Johnson satisfied.
Radicals passed Civil Rights Act of 1866 over Johnson’s veto, sent 14th amendment to the states.
![Page 94: I. Effect of the Mexican War](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681672f550346895ddbd788/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)

What was the difference between Lincoln’s plan and the Wade Davis Bill?
What was Johnson’s approach? What did Black Codes do? What South came to Congress? How did the Republicans respond?

Radical Leaders
Senate – Charles Sumner (caned); House – Thaddeus Stevens (74)
