Sit on an island at the entrance to Charleston Port, Fort Sumter, a federal military facility.

The shelling in Fort Sumter in April now forced the other southern States to stand with the Lincoln appeal for State militia.
In April and May 1861, courted and pressured both by the north and the southern states, the original seven were joined by four Upper Southern states
The nature of the war and the mistaken notions about it soon became clear once the sides had been chosen and the initial flush was over and over.

As Lincoln had few national contacts outside the Republican Party, he opted to make cabinet members with several Republicans
Until then, the money was issued by 1.500 state banks as a mix of coins and state bank notes.
The Law of February 1862 establishes a country's monetary system
A number of Republican economic actions which were not directly linked to the war were also made possible by the lack of Southern Democrats.

Securing British and France's diplomatic recognition of the Confederacy did not fall to Secretary of State William Seward
Jefferson Davis had held national cabinet positions, had experience as an administrative officer, and was an ex-military man, although he had been unable to hold the Confederation together.
Nobody might have had anybody
A sharp blow was the failure of cotton diplomacy.
White people were astonished at the fact that France and Britain did not acknowledge their independence
The Northern strategy was first called the Anaconda Plan, which was to slowly squeeze the south and on the Mississippi River with a blockade.
While the main focus of public attention was the fighting in Virginia, the fighting in the Mississippi River and Tennessee were the key to a possible victory for Union.
While one western country, Texas, was separated from the Union, the Civil War in many parts of the West was fought in small ways.
Initially it had failed to achieve the Union's naval blockade from the South, aimed at cutting trade from the Confederacy and the rest of the world.
Another cause was the capture of Port Royal on the islands of the South Carolina Sea in 1861.
Whites escaped from the advance of the Union but with joy and gratitude 10,000 slaves greeted the troops.
In 1862 Abraham Lincoln, aware of the dividing opinion in the north, embarked on the development of a declaration of emancipation.
When slavery became ever larger.
The final Proclamation of Emancipation was duly issued by Lincoln on 1 January 1863 which was less than sweeping.
Lincoln first supported the recruitment of black soldiers as part of the Emancipation Proclamation.
The eager Black volunteers were turned away at the beginning of the war.
Battles of the civil war were terribly deadly
One reason was technology: enhanced weapons, especially modern rifles, had a far greater range and precision than the smooth boring moustaches they replaced.
Foreign nurses were also urgently needed to look after injured and convalescent soldiers.
Nursing was widely regarded as female work in a family context.
The circumstances faced by the enthusiastic young Union and Confederate armies were massive, terrifying and bloody, seemingly endless battles with no sign of victory in the face.
By 1862, the Democrats had split into two factions: the War Democrats and Peace Democrats.
Some people have honestly enriched meeting wartime needs, but as they have in every war, spectators and beneficiaries flourished.
Protests were held across the North in the spring of 1863.
Unrest and unrest have broken out in many towns and many federal enrollment officers have been killed
The war has changed the South even more.
As in the North, war needs led to government control of the economy expanding and centralizing
The year opened for the Union army in the East with stalemate and slow and expensive progress in the West.
For the South, 1863 was its highest hope in Britain or France for military success and diplomatic recognition.
He was appointed east by president Lincoln in March 1864 as General-in-Chief of the Union Forces.
Critics of Lincoln were horrified
The 1864 presidential election was complicated by the war.
During a period when the war was going badly, Lincoln was renominated.
In contrast, Lincoln had little support in his party against Radicals who believed he was too conciliatory to the South and the Republican Conservatives who disapproved of the proclamation of emancipation.
Sherman was locked up in the battle with Lee in north Virginia as Sherman devastated the lower south.
Lee finally submitted a grant but at a tremendous cost.
Lee and his rest, two-to-one, still retained Petersburg and Richmond in the spring of 1865.
The shortest time to enjoy the victory was Lincoln.
On the evening of 14 April, President and Mrs. Lincoln visited the Washington Ford's Theater
