The American Civil War
1861 - 1865
"History is memory aided by
evidence"
Abraham Lincoln
God Bless you Mr. President
The Memorial to President Lincoln and the only home he truly
owned and lived in, shown here in Springfield, Illinois circa 1956.
Lincoln faced the greatest internal crisis of any
U.S. President. After the fall of Ft. Sumter, Lincoln raised an army and decided to fight
to save the Union from falling apart. Despite enormous pressures, loss of life,
battlefield setbacks, generals who weren't ready to fight, assassination threats, etc.,
Lincoln stuck with this pro-Union policy for 4 long years of Civil War. On January 1,
1863, the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect. This was Lincoln's declaration of
freedom for all slaves in the areas of the Confederacy not under Union control. Also, on
November 19, 1863, Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg Address which dedicated the
battlefield there to the soldiers who had perished. He called on the living to finish the
task the dead soldiers had begun.
