The Civil War Begins
The Civil War began with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861.
On April 15, President Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to end the rebellion. This had a powerful effect on the 8 slave states of the Upper South. These “Border States” had not yet decided whether to join the Confederacy or stay in the Union.

More States Join the Confederacy After Lincoln’s call for volunteers to
put down the rebellion, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee seceded from the Union.
Richmond, Virginia , became the capital of the Confederacy and Jefferson Davis was elected President of the Confederate States of America. (CSA)

Problems in Maryland
Lincoln knew he had to keep Maryland in the Union; the state surrounded Washington, D.C. on three sides.
In Maryland, pro-Confederate mobs attacked Union soldiers. To hold pro-Confederate leaders in Maryland prison, Lincoln suspended the right of habeas corpus.
Habeas corpus- a right that protects people from being held in prison unlawfully

Problems in Missouri
In Missouri, Union and Confederate supporters fought each other fiercely. Lincoln kept Missouri in the Union under martial law.
Martial law- rule by the army instead of by the usual government officials

Women, Children and African Americans in the War Many disguised women and young
boys joined the armies. Historians estimate between 10-20% off all soldiers (250,000-420,000) were 16 years old or younger.
At first, African Americans were banned from the Union armies but later on they had their own regiments led by white officers.
