Battle of Bull Run “I saw officers… majors and colonels who
had deserted their commands – pass me galloping as if for dear life… For three miles, hosts of _______ Troops.. All mingled in one disorderly rout. Wounded men lying along the banks… appealed with raised hands to those who rode horses, begging to be lifted behind, bur few regarded such petitions.
Correspondent, New York World, 1861

Battle of Bull Run Though the Union had the upper hand,
the Confederates gained reinforcements The Union army was defeated in their
attempt to capture Richmond. An initial attempt to attack Washington,
D.C. did not pan out after it was deemed the troops were too tired and disorganized.
![Page 17: United States Civil War](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/568164d8550346895dd71ebe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Lincoln and Slavery “My paramount object in
this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy Slavery.” - Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln began to see that his dealings with slavery could change the tide of the war.
Lincoln decides to issue the Emancipation Proclamation
![Page 21: United States Civil War](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/568164d8550346895dd71ebe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Emancipation Proclamation
Speech given on January 1, 1863. “All persons held as slaves within any
State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free… And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God.”
![Page 22: United States Civil War](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/568164d8550346895dd71ebe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Emancipation Proclamation
This proclamation did not immediately free the slaves.
Only slaves in states that are in rebellion are officially freed.
Can a person have a slave in Maryland?
![Page 23: United States Civil War](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/568164d8550346895dd71ebe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lincoln overstepping? Habeas Corpus – a court order that requires
authorities to bring a person held in jail before the court to determine why he or she is being jailed. Yeah, Lincoln stopped this process
What do you think this means? More than 13,000 Confederate sympathizers in the
Union were held in jail without trial. Conscription- The act of forcing people into
fighting in the military. Copperheads – northerners that advocated peace
with the south
