, northerners who chose to fight for the confederacy is a very tiny number. unless you think about the border states, the question is how you will consider them and consider them -- four border states, kentucky, maryland, delaware, and missouri don't secede. northerners see those as southern society they have to wrestle out of the grip of aspiring secessionists. in -- lincoln is concerned about this in the case of kentucky and maryland. four border south states you have a battle between confederate and union forces to enlist or recruit men. famously they invade kentucky thinking they are going to handout ammunition and the and up bringing most of it home. the border south statesmen choose the union over the confederacy by a margin of about two to one. the question of whether you want to count them as northern men or southern men, i would argue those are slave states and that they should be understood to be part of the south. massachusetts who fought for the confederacy aren a negligible number. >> i enjoyed your presentation. i want to ask you something about

they were, if you will, thorns the side of the confederacy. they started brush fires that had to be put out. meanwhile they were northernized , symbols that southerners could be redeemed for the union. white southern unionists were, in some part, part of lincoln's coalition for victory. i will turn now to the key part of that coalition. black southern unionists. as william freeling suggest, the group of anti-confederate southerners with the most impact on the war were the 150,000 black men who fought in the united states colored troops union regiment. african american resistance to the confederacy was the beating heart of southern unionism. slaves fled plantations by hundreds of thousands to seek refuge with the union army. they contributed to the union army, not only as soldiers, but as nurses, spies, scouts, and in a host of other capacities. galleries of the american civil war museum spell all of this out. there is a story recounted in those galleries about how harriet tubman led black soldiers to free slaves in south carolina, this wide ran

house to the confederacy. when a detachment of the second iowa volunteer is shot to death for flying a secession flag in june of 1861, the commander lieutenant tuttle broke no criticism. "perhaps i am responsible," he responded when confronted publicly about the shooting. "if so, i have nothing to take back. our business down there was to put down the rebel colors, and of course, we commenced as soon as we saw with the work commenced. his flag came down, and so did he." in august 1863, in response to the mass murder of nearly 200 civilians in lawrence, kansas, by guerrillas under commander, collective retaliation would find its fullest form. ohio and thomas ewing junior ordered the depopulation of 4 entire missouri counties bordering kansas. only those judged loyal could return. the others, nearly exclusively men and women, were banished and troops burned their homes and fields. in part, this destructive warfare occurred because many union officers and soldiers in the western region used slaveholding as a measu

the south was not unified at the moment the confederacy was created. the third and final artifact i want to show you is not pretty like some of these badges are, nor is it menacing like the pike. it is a piece of cotton. i feel like i have to say that quickly given sometimes when people see this image, they think it is a brain. jon meacham was talking about the battle of the brain versus the guts. i thought that might be on people's minds. it is a piece of cotton grown by an slave georgians just before the civil war. it is less intrinsically interesting as an object. people, it seems less significant. i have talkeding about, it is this piece of cotton that gets us to the fundamental taproot of the whole conflict. one way to think about cause and is to emagin what would happen if you would take out factors. it is really hard to to with history. i think, based on informed speculation, you can make an argument that if you remove this, the civil war might not happen. you removeve this, the vitality of the south. this is not the only thing and saves people d

for the confederacy, this meant an independent slavery public. americans on both sides voraciously consumed news about the progress of their armies and the generals who commanded the armies. to gary w. gallagher's account, the front pages of 80% of "harper's weekly," a premier illustrated newspaper featured a , military topic or leader. generals were the celebrities of the villains of the time. their successes and failures affected army and civilian morale and commitment to the war effort. a chief example of this was robert e. lee and his army of northern virginia, which together became the locus of nationalism for a country that basically only existed in wartime. as gallagher argues, the slate -- the slave owners of his army proved most nationalistic of all confederates, using letters home, battlefield victories and reinvestment to "propel loyalty among citizens and soldiers throughout the confederacy." based on scholar joseph ladder's lee'stical portrait of army, one in 10 army of virginia soldiers owned slaves in 1861. when you count those who

he statues of the south, the statues to the confederacy, that masked slavery and defeat. the united states said nothing of the million the of men who refused to vote for abraham lincoln in 1864 or who rioted against the draft. as we heard today, there are few moments who played an important role in the war that have been intentionally forgotten, who have been ee face oosh efaced. monuments unt on the to sell the story. cities of carriages soon became cities of automobiles. as new wars demanded new sacrifices and new monuments, the civil war faded from view. agined as a more had you main, smaller scale, more brotherly kind of war. juxtaposed to the mechanized and anonymous slaughter of the modern times. fortunately, we had museums. fortunately we have our museum. our new american civil war museum is built on the most inclusive, most evocative and most up to date scholarship across the entire range of civil war ira scholarship. scholarship on slavery, reconstruction, nationalism, technology and medicine as well as military mobilization and events and consequences. we have wo

i will not pretend the confederacy did not have its own issues, but i don't do traders. so let's stick to the union. [laughter] dr. kurtz: buy my book. there are no traitors. it is all about the north.

"the mississippi river will be a great theater of war. it is horrible to contemplate, but cannot be avoided. were it not for the physical geography of the country, it might be the people can consent to divide and separate in peace, but the mississippi is too grand an element to be divided. extents that -- at all of its extent, it must be under one government." backdrop,is strategic samuel clemens would be making a valuable contribution to the war effo

and of course they were reflective of areas in the confederacy where union troops were present. freedom seekers, designated as contraband of war, struggled finding, then, a permanent safe haven, with most in constant motion, because they followed the union troops wherever they went and wherever they moved throughout the southern region. because, like at fort monroe, they were ejected from the fort itself. the u.s. government, though, was ill-prepared to provide sustenance and support to the thousands of refugees flooding to union lines, which is why they had an incredibly high mortality rate. officials saw union forts as transitional areas from which the freedom seekers would be resettled. most of the time, however, the settlement areas where unclear and random. first -- most read him seekers in the first three years of the war fled with only the clothes on their back. the problem of feeding, clothing, and housing refugees was overwhelming for officials, who were fighting a war. in truth, the war's exigencies and unwanted essence of these fugitives lead to ongoing deprivations of

for the past year as war raged between the union and the confederacy, the opponents of slavery decried the scandal of

the peace in missouri. sam clemens knew -- popee was hardly an arden -- arden pro-confederacy fighter. there was another serious consideration. a look at number five and the bold sentences there. "in due course i got my license, and i supposed, and hoped, that i would follow the river the rest of my days. , commercethe war came was suspended, my occupation was gone." it wasn't just the secession of south carolina and 10 other states that forced young clemens and 3.5 million young other men to face the prospect of fighting , it was his sudden unemployment caused by the war, an unemployment the coincided with the collapse of the steam boating industry. it through sam clemens out of a job, and including killing three killing 750,000 men -- there is some of my evidence for the first they claim. slip from the war, sam clements may have lived up the rest of his days as a riverboat captain, a lucrative and prestigious location, especially for a young man from missouri. what, if a pilot, anything, would have kicked him into writing for a living? what did he do? look back at number one on your h

enlist these black men to help defeat the confederacy. at same year, the confederate war department issued a statement for having armed slaves for military service against their masters. some started to organize lack -- black regiments comprised of former slaves. it seemed that union generals were divided on the issue. "major general hunter and brigadier general phelps be no longer held as public enemies of the confederate states but as outlaws, and the capture of them or any other officer employed in drilling slaves, they should not be held as a prisoner of war but held in close confinement for execution as a felon." the former secretary of war said, "slaves and rebellion are -- confederate officials maintained a hard-line on the legal status of enslaved people as chattel and thus fugitives. he argued that "they cannot be recognized anyway as soldiers subject to the rule of war and trial by military court. as refugees, the question concerning their legal status pressed military leaders as he struggled to agree on a policy. on what legal g

the 11 states of the confederacy are bigger than all of europe. so how was the union going to keep in its grasp a place bigger than all of europe? the europeans did not think that was going to happen. we were busily supplying both sides they were taken decision on this especially since north had not taken a position on what the real reason was anyway. this made one of lincolns first decisions very important and this was the plan, the decision to blockade the coastline of the south, to keep the south from being supplied by the rest of the world by blockade runners. i know some of you remember rhett butler. channel that in your memory but mostly british and french and other people for money the blockade. they came up with what's called the anaconda plan which this map shows you, the depiction of the type which is basically tried to blockade 3000 miles of coastline. to blockade 3000 miles of coastline you needed need a nah the union did have but you also need a place to water your ships, repair your ships, place from which to launch outwards,, place f

stevens correctly says the cornerstone of the confederacy is slavery and -- this is the part people do not want to talk about -- and the believes that african-americans are genetically inferior to white people and therefore should always be slaves. this is the first war, this is the first country graded clearly and openly on the basis of a racial ideology. we have to understand the war is about slavery. s understand this because they start running away immediately. remember, the war begins in april. by may slaves are running away two camps. a lawyer figures out there is a legal way to do this, begins the ending of slavery. congress passes the first confiscation act in july, the west time congress has said have the right is a government to take slaves away from people and free those slaves, and so it goes, the confiscation act, congress demanding the integration of streetcars in the district of columbia, congress creating schools for blacks. for the first time the federal government is creating schools for black people. the federal militia act that reverses a population since the 1790's
