The southern states wanted to have their own nation and be able to decide what laws to have. The north did not want the country to be broken apart. In the election of 1860 Abraham Lincoln stated that he wanted to stop the spread of slavery. The southern states said that if Lincoln won, they would secede (leave) the union. The southern states seceded from the union after Lincoln was elected. They formed their own nation, The Confederate States of America. The war began in April of 1861 when the Confederate Army took over Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina. President Lincoln was forced to declare war. The war was a long and bloody. Over 600,000 men on both sides died. Over 1,100,000 were injured. The south was devastated.

Southerners felt if they stayed in the United States, the North would control them. Some southern states decided they had no choice. They decided to secede, or leave, the United States. South Carolina was the first to leave the Union and form a new nation called the Confederate States of America. Four months later, six other states seceded.

That is when he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation in secret. To emancipate means to set free. A proclamation is an order to do something.

Many soldiers were given gray over shirts until the blue coats could be made. New York was able to give all soldiers a dark blue woolen jacket with 8 state seal buttons. But when the war lasted longer than people expected, the factories ran out of dark blue cloth.
