Medical ServicesonD-Day The American Civil War, took place between the periods 1861 to 1865. A war between the free northern states influenced by the abolitionist, and the 11 agricultural southern states who where heavily reliant upon slavery. Some of the causes but not all that attributed to this war are: - Political divide between the north and south: Cotton was produced in the agrarian southern region. This was processed and converted in to cotton in the mills and industries in the north. This formed the basis for the divide in the economical and social positions of these regions as an affluent, modern and industrialized north versus a traditional and less flourishing south. - Slavery: The south being an agrarian society depended on slaves to work in their fields. This was acceptable to the society and by law. But abolitionist of the north brought about political change in the outlook of the people who now voiced their opinions against slavery. The South voiced their opposition in the Congress and the Senate. - State rights: Ban on slavery in the south by the central federal government was not welcomed by the southerners. They felt a need for the state government to have powers to over-ride a law which the state felt unsuitable even if it was passed by the federal government. The urge to form a different nation started to emerge - Election of 1860: John C Breckinridge was a nominee from the south for the elections held in the year 1860. However, the results showed that he was defeated by the Republican candidate, Abraham Lincoln, and Democrat candidate, Stephen Douglas, by a vast margin. This resulted in the South loosing political influence and put in motion a movement of States Right to reject centralize governance over the South. Remember, it had only been 75 years since the signing of the Constitution. The debate over which powers rightly belonged to the states and which to the Federal Government became heated fueled by the divisive issue of whether slavery would be allowed in the new territories forming as the nation expanded westward.

St onewal l Jackson: Biography, Mil it ary Career, Campaigns & St rat egies

Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824 ? May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and one of the best-known Confederate commanders after General Robert E. Lee. His military career includes the Valley Campaign of 1862 and his service as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets accidentally shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863. The general survived with the loss of an arm to amputation, but died of complications from pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but also the morale of its army and of the general public. Jackson in death became an icon of Southern heroism and commitment, becoming a mainstay in the pantheon of the "Lost Cause".

And the W ar Ends ? by D avid J. Kent

O n A pr il 9, 1865, just four weeks after President A braham L incoln had t aken his second oath of office, Confederate General Rober t E. L ee officially sur rendered his ar m y to Union General U lysses S. Grant. So began the end of the Civil War. T hey m et at the house of W ilm er M cL ean in a village called A ppom attox Cour t H ouse. T he tr ials of four years of war etched the faces of both Generals as their weary troops str uggled bet ween thankfulness that the war was ending and patr iotism for the causes they felt were still att ainable. I n the days before the sur render, Grant and L ee had exchanged a ser ies of m essages through the front lines. Both m en were cautious, avoiding com m itm ents that they could not keep. N ot surpr isingly, L ee was hesit ant to sur render the A r m y of N or ther n V irginia to the Union forces. But he was a realist. A fter the defeat at Petersburg, L ee had on A pr il 2nd war ned Confederate President Jefferson D avis that R ichm ond could no longer be protected. A s D avis and the Confederate gover nm ent fled southw ard, L ee knew that his ar m ies could no longer hold off the inevit able. T he South would fall in defeat. T he ter m s of the sur render were sim ple. A ll Confederate forces were to be disbanded and allowed to retur n to their hom es, "not to be disturbed by the United St ates author ities so long as they obser ve their paroles." W hile "ar m s, ar tillery, and public proper t y" were to be confiscated, officers were allowed to keep their side- ar m s (swords and pistols), pr ivate horses and baggage. A s General L ee m ounted his horse to r ide away from the M cL ean house, "General Grant now stepped dow n from the porch, and, m oving tow ard him , saluted him by raising his hat. H e was followed in this act of cour tesy by all our officers present; L ee raised his hat respectfully, and rode off to break the sad new s to the brave fellow s w hom he had so long com m anded." T he w ar would rapidly com e to an end. But just as rapidly, President L incoln would be assassinated. Shot by John W ilkes Booth on A pr il 14, 1865, Good Fr iday, w hile watching the com edic play, O ur American Cousin in Ford's T heatre. H e was car r ied across the street to the Petersen H ouse w here he died the next m or ning, A pr il 15, at 7:22 am . "N ow he belongs to the ages," spoke Secret ary of War Edw in St anton, before engaging in a 12- day chase that ended w ith the death of the assassin. Soon after L incoln's dem ise, long- tim e adm irer Walt W hitm an w rote an extended m et aphor poem , "O Capt ain! M y Capt ain!" W hitm an lived in Washington dur ing the Civil War and often watched President L incoln r ide by on horseback, later by car r iage, to and from his sum m er living quar ters in the Soldier's H om e. I t begins: O Captain! M y Captain! our fearful trip is done; T he ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won; T he port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, W hile follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, W here on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. Such a sad, yet exalting, eulogy for the fallen President. I t has now been 151 years since that fateful day and battles still rem ain in our desire to for m "a m ore per fect union." A s L incoln noted in his Gett ysburg A ddress: "I t is for us the living? to be dedicated here to the unfinished work? " that L incoln "so nobly advanced."

APPOMATTOX COURT-HOUSE, VA. April 9, 1865 General R. E. LEE: In accordance with the substance of my letter to you of the 8th instant, I propose to receive the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia on the following terms, to wit: Rolls of all the officers and men to be made in duplicate, one copy to be given to an officer to be designated by me, the other to be retained by such officer or officers as you may designate. The officers to give their individual paroles not to take up arms against the Government of the United States until properly exchanged; and each company or regimental commander sign a like parole for the men of their commands. The arms, artillery, and public property to be parked and stacked, and turned over to the officers appointed by me to receive them. This will not embrace the side-arms of the officers, nor their private horses or baggage. This done, each officer and man will be allowed to return to his home, not to be disturbed by U. S. authority so long as they observe their paroles and the laws in force where they may reside. U.S. GRANT, Lieutenant-General.

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 ? April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War? its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. In doing so, he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy. Born in Hodgenville, Kentucky, Lincoln grew up on the western frontier in Kentucky and Indiana. Largely self-educated, he became a lawyer in Illinois, a Whig Party leader, and a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, where he served from 1834 to 1846. Elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1846, Lincoln promoted rapid modernization of the economy through banks, tariffs, and railroads. Because he had originally agreed not to run for a second term in Congress, and because his opposition to the Mexican?American War was unpopular among Illinois voters, Lincoln returned to Springfield and resumed his successful law practice. Reentering politics in 1854, he became a leader in building the new Republican Party, which had a statewide majority in Illinois. In 1858, while taking part in a series of highly publicized debates with his opponent and rival, Democrat Stephen A. Douglas, Lincoln spoke out against the expansion of slavery, but lost the U.S. Senate race to Douglas. In 1860, Lincoln secured the Republican Party presidential nomination as a moderate from a swing state. With very little support in the slaveholding states of the South, he swept the North and was elected president in 1860. His victory prompted seven southern slave states to form the Confederate States of America before he moved into the White House - no compromise or reconciliation was found regarding slavery and secession. Subsequently, on April 12, 1861, a Confederate attack on Fort Sumter inspired the North to enthusiastically rally behind the Union in a declaration of war.


As the leader of the moderate faction of the Republican Party, Lincoln confronted Radical Republicans, who demanded harsher treatment of the South, War Democrats, who called for more compromise, anti-war Democrats (called Copperheads), who despised him, and irreconcilable secessionists, who plotted his assassination. Politically, Lincoln fought back by pitting his opponents against each other, by carefully planned political patronage, and by appealing to the American people with his powers of oratory. His Gettysburg Address became an iconic endorsement of the principles of nationalism, republicanism, equal rights, liberty, and democracy.
