In our study of U.S. History, we care most about the causes and effects of major wars. Hence, we will be skipping over most of Chapter 20 and all of Chapter 21, which covers the Civil War.

tldr; The North wins, and the Union is preserved. The Confederacy loses, and the South is nearly wrecked by war. President Lincoln is assassinated.

As always, "Focus Questions" should guide your reading and notes, but you do not necessarily have to explicitly answer them.

Why do you think Lincoln only freed the slaves in the red (see map below)? Why didn't Lincoln free the slaves in the Border States?

While President Lincoln is known for freeing the slaves in the Emancipation Proclamation, he only freed slaves in the Confederate South [red]. Slavery was still allowed in the Border States [brown] until the 13th Amendment formally abolished slavery from the Union.

Enfranchise is just a fancy word for granting the right to vote!

You may have heard the word disenfranchise before, which means the exact opposite since dis = not.
