7. Southern Reason’s for Leaving The Union... -the issue of states rights and the power of state governments to totally rule over its land and decide its own issues. -to protect the institution of slavery which they perceived as being threatened by the Republican Party and the Lincoln administration. Why War?

8. North’s Reasons for Not letting The South secede… -The North did not want the south to become their own territory. Why War?

9. When Did it actually Begin?

11. - Confederate forces fired on Union forces holding Fort Sumter, which was located in Charleston Harbor.

12. - Although most of the Confederate states had declared their secession from the Union before the Battle of Ft. Sumter, no shots had been fired, the mail continued to be delivered in both directions, as did telegraph messages and rail service. After Sumter was captured, the Union increased its military strength to recapture the fort, so the war continued and expanded. What Happened during the War???

14. The Presbyterian Church split into Northern and Southern factions along with the Methodists and many other denominations. -The southern churches not only supported slavery because it was the way of life in their regions but they also genuinely believed that slavery and the inferiority of the black man were supported by the Bible. -The north believed that no man should be held in bondage by another man but whether they genuinely believed that every man was equal is unlikely. How did everyone feel?

15. Emancipation Proclamation -The Emancipation Proclamation was a presidential -It was not a law passed by a Congress but a proclamation written by the president alone based on the war powers given to the President by the Constitution. -It was a declaration by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, declaring the freedom of all slaves in Confederate territory not already under Union control. -Its immediate impact was to free only some runaway slaves, but thousands more slaves were liberated as the Union armies advanced. The great majority of 4 million slaves were freed through operation of the Emancipation Proclamation. - Legally their emancipation was permanently effected by the Thirteenth Amendment ratified in December 1865.

18. -

20. -This question can only be answered by time; as well as people learning form their mistakes. -People need to become less selfish and more aware of the consequences of their actions. Will history repeat itself???
