When Abraham Lincoln won election in 1860 as the first Republican president on a platform pledging to keep slavery out of the territories, seven slave states in the deep South seceded and formed a new nation, the Confederate States of America. The incoming Lincoln administration and most of the Northern people refused to recognize the legitimacy of secession. They feared that it would discredit democracy and create a fatal precedent that would eventually fragment the no-longer United States into several small, squabbling countries."]]> 2018-04-09 14:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_mcgrath03/me9zzft2lvoq/wish/249836014 morgan_mcgrath03 https://padlet.com/morgan_mcgrath03/me9zzft2lvoq/wish/249841838 Gettysburg--51,000 casualties

Tubman risked her life to lead hundreds of family members and other slaves from the plantation system to freedom on this elaborate secret network of safe houses. A leading abolitionist before the American civil war, Tubman also helped the Union Army during the war, working as a spy among other roles. ]]> 2018-04-09 14:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_mcgrath03/me9zzft2lvoq/wish/249845684 morgan_mcgrath03 https://padlet.com/morgan_mcgrath03/me9zzft2lvoq/wish/252169806 Bleeding Kansas, Bloody Kansas or the Border War was a series of violent confrontations in the United States between 1854 and 1861 which emerged from a political and ideological debate over the legality of slavery in the proposed state of Kansas. ]]> 2018-04-16 14:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_mcgrath03/me9zzft2lvoq/wish/252169806 morgan_mcgrath03 https://padlet.com/morgan_mcgrath03/me9zzft2lvoq/wish/252171219 John Brown was a radical abolitionist who believed in the violent overthrow of the slavery system. During the Bleeding Kansas conflicts, Brown and his sons led attacks on pro-slavery residents. Justifying his actions as the will of God, Brown soon became a hero in the eyes of Northern extremists and was quick to capitalize on his growing reputation. By early 1858, he had succeeded in enlisting a small “army” of insurrectionists whose mission was to foment rebellion among the slaves. In 1859, Brown and 21 of his followers attacked and occupied the federal arsenal in Harpers Ferry. Their goal was to capture supplies and use them to arm a slave rebellion. Brown was captured during the raid and later hanged, but not before becoming an anti-slavery icon.]]> 2018-04-16 14:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_mcgrath03/me9zzft2lvoq/wish/252171219 morgan_mcgrath03 https://padlet.com/morgan_mcgrath03/me9zzft2lvoq/wish/252183684 Fort Sumter is a sea fort in Charleston, South Carolina, notable for two battles of the American Civil War.]]> 2018-04-16 15:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_mcgrath03/me9zzft2lvoq/wish/252183684 morgan_mcgrath03 https://padlet.com/morgan_mcgrath03/me9zzft2lvoq/wish/252185031 The United States Presidential Election of 1860 was the nineteenth quadrennial presidential election to select the President and Vice President of the United States.
