Prologue
The Civil War was the most violent and fateful experience in American history. At least 620,000 soldiers were killed in the war, 2% of the American population in 1860. If the same percentage of Americans were to be killed in a war fought in the 1990s, the number of American war dead would exceed five million. An unknown number of civilians, nearly all of them in the South, died from causes such as disease, hunger or exposure inflicted during the conflict. As a consequence, more Americans died in the Civil War than in all of the other country's wars combined. The number of casualties incurred in a single day at the battle of Antietam (September 17, 1862) was four times the number of Americans killed or wounded on the Normandy beaches on D-Day, June 6, 1944. More Americans were killed in combat in all the other wars fought by the United States in the 19th century.
How did this happen? Why did Americans fight each other with a ferocity unmatched in the Western world during the century between the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and the beginning of World War I in 1914? The origins of the American Civil War lay in the outcome of another war fought by America fifteen years earlier: the Mexican War. The peace treaty signed with Mexico in 1848 transferred 700,000 square miles of Mexican territory to the United States. However, the dramatic victory of American forces in the Mexican War fulfilled the prediction made by the philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1846 at the war's outset: "The United States will conquer Mexico, but it will be as the man swallows arsenic, which brings him down in turn. Mexico will poison us."
The poison was
Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania) stating that slavery should be excluded from all territories acquired from Mexico. In the Senate, Southern strength defeated this Proviso. South Carolina Senator, John C. Calhoun, introduced instead a series of resolutions affirming that slaveholders had the constitutional right
to take their slave property into any United States territory they so wished.
These opposing views set the scene for a crisis when
gold was discovered in California in 1848. Eighty thousand gold seekers poured into the region in 1849. To achieve some degree of law and order, the Forty-niners organized a state government and petitioned Congress for admission to the Union as the thirty-first state. As California's new constitution prohibited slavery, this request met with fierce resistance from Southerners. The crisis escalated when the American President, Zachary Taylor, encouraged the huge territory of New Mexico
(embracing the rest of the cession from Mexico) also to apply for statehood without slavery.
Pro-slavery Southerners threatened to secede from the Union if they were denied their "right" to take slaves into these territories. "If, by your legislation, you seek to drive us from the territories of California and Mexico," Congressman Robert Toombs of Georgia informed Northern lawmakers, "I am for disunion." The controversy in Congress became so heated that Senator Henry S. Foote of Mississippi flourished a loaded revolver during a debate, and his colleague Jefferson Davis challenged an Illinois congressman to a duel. In 1850 the American nation seemed held together by a mere thread, with armed conflict between free and slave states an alarming possibility.
But cooler heads prevailed. The Compromise of 1850 averted a showdown. This series of laws admitted California as a free state, divided the remainder of the Mexican cession into the territories of New Mexico and Utah, and left to their residents the question as to whether or not they would have slavery. (In fact, both territories did legalize slavery, but few slaves were taken there.) At the same time, Congress abolished the slave trade in the District of Columbia, ending the shame – in Northern eyes – of the buying and selling of human beings within sight of the White House and the Capitol. But the Compromise of 1850 compensated the South with a tough new fugitive slave law that empowered federal marshals, backed by the army, to recover slaves who had escaped into free states. It thus postponed, but did not resolve, the sectional crisis.
During the 1850s, polarization between North and South intensified. The fugitive slave law embittered Northerners compelled to watch black people – some of whom had lived in their communities for years – being forcibly returned in chains to slavery. Southern anxiety grew as settlers poured into those Northern territories that were sure to join the Union as free states, thereby tipping the sectional balance of power against the South in Congress and the electoral college. In an attempt to bring more slave states into the Union, Southerners agitated for the purchase of Cuba from Spain and the acquisition of additional territory in Central America. Private armies of "filibusters," composed mainly of Southerners, even tried to invade Cuba and Nicaragua to overthrow their governments and bring these regions into the United States – with slavery.
Nothing did more to divide North and South than the Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854 and the subsequent guerrilla war between pro- and anti-slavery partisans in Kansas territory. The region that became the territories of Kansas and Nebraska was part of the Louisiana Purchase, acquired by the United States from France in 1803. In 1820, the Missouri Compromise had divided this territory at latitude 36° 30', with slavery permitted south of that line and prohibited north of it. Regarded by Northerners as an inviolable compact, the Missouri Compromise lasted for 34 years. But in 1854, Southerners broke it by forcing Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Territories, and leader of the Northern Democrats, to agree to the repeal of the ban on slavery north of 36° 30' as the price of Southern support for the formal organization of Kansas and Nebraska territories.
Douglas capitulated under Southern pressure, even though he expected it to "raise a hell of a storm" in the North. It did. The storm was so powerful that it swept away many Northern Democrats and gave rise to the
election to the Senate
, was a house divided between slavery and freedom. "'A house divided against itself cannot stand.' I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free." By preventing the further expansion of slavery, Lincoln hoped to "place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is the course of ultimate extinction."
Douglas won the senatorial election in 1858. But two years later, running against a Democratic Party split into Northern and Southern halves, Lincoln won the presidency by carrying every Northern state. This was the first time in more than a generation that the South had lost effective control of the national government. Southerners saw the writing on the wall. A substantial and growing majority of the American population lived in the North. The pro-slavery forces had little prospect of winning any future national elections. Thus, to preserve slavery as the basis of the "way of life," during the winter of 1860–1861 the seven lower-south states seceded one by one. Before Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861, delegates from these seven states had met at Montgomery, Alabama, adopted a Constitution for the Confederate States of America, and formed a provisional government with Jefferson Davis as president. As they seceded, these states seized the national arsenals, forts, and other property within their borders – with the significant exception of Fort Sumter in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. When Lincoln took his oath to "preserve, protect, and defend" the United States and its Constitution, the "united" states had already ceased to exist.
Secession transformed the principal issue of the sectional conflict from the future of slavery to the survival of the Union itself. Lincoln and most of the Northern people refused to accept the constitutional legitimacy of secession. "The central idea pervading this struggle," Lincoln declared after war had broken out in 1861, "is the necessity that is upon us, of proving that popular government is not an absurdity. We must settle this question now, whether in a free government the minority have the right to break up the government whenever they choose." Four years later, looking back over the bloody chasm of war, Lincoln said in his second inaugural address that one side in the controversy of 1861 "would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came."

- 2013 – Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial: Dedicated in 2011, this is the newest memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It pays tribute to the civil rights leader who believed in hope, justice, democracy, and love. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a tireless advocate for oppressed peoples of the world. Part of Dr. King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech is reflected as the major art piece of the memoirist: "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." Dr. King gave his inspiring speech at the Lincoln Memorial 50 years ago, on August 28, 1963.
- 2014 – Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine commemorates the 200th anniversary of the bombardment of the fort in 2014. Issues relating to free trade and citizens' rights led the U.S. to declare war on England in 1812. In August 1814, British forces marched on Washington, D.C., and burned the White House and Capitol. On September 13-14, 1814, the British bombarded Fort McHenry in Baltimore. The failure of the attack and sight of the American flag flying over the fort inspired Francis Scott Key to compose "The Star-Spangled Banner," which became America's national anthem.
- 2016 – The National Park Service turns 100 on August 25, 2016. Fueled by the efforts of Stephen T. Mather and Horace M. Albright, the Service's first and second directors, respectively, Congress created the National Park Service to "conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein," of America's national parks, monuments, and historic places. The NPS works to leave more than 400 sites under its care unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. Congratulations to the National Park Service for 100 years of protecting the best of America!
- 2017 – Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2017. Featuring North America's highest mountain, 20,310-foot Denali, the park is as wild and wonderful as it was when hunter and naturalist Charles Sheldon first visited the area more than a century ago. It was Sheldon's drive and determination to protect this American treasure that made it possible for Denali to reach this important milestone. Glaciers, Dall sheep, caribou, grizzly bears, and wolves can be found in this breathtakingly unique environment of six million acres.
- 2018 – Appalachian National Scenic Trail: In 2018, the trail will celebrate its 50th anniversary as a unit of the National Park System. It is the oldest, continuously marked, and publicly protected trail in the United States. Traversing 14 states, from Georgia to Maine, hikers can experience breathtaking vistas, wilderness areas untouched by development, and the significance of history along the nearly 2,200-mile trail. Since 1921, volunteers have contributed countless hours to the conservation of the Appalachian Trail. 2018 also marks the 50th anniversary of the National Trails System Act.
- 2019 – Grand Canyon National Park celebrates 100 years of designation as a national park in 2019. A World Heritage Site, Grand Canyon is more than a landscape - it's a place of residence and worship for America's first people, a collection of geologic record and natural resources, and a place of learning. The canyon is up to 18 miles wide and a mile deep. After 100 years, whether it's hiking a trail, walking the rim, or enjoying the Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park hopes you are inspired to connect with the outdoors. Come, be inspired, and Go Grand.
- 2020 – Women's Rights National Historical Park: On July 19 and 20, 1848, around 300 people gathered in the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, NY for the First Women's Rights Convention. This convention produced the Declaration of Sentiments, which called for equal rights for women, including suffrage, and provided the framework for the women's rights movement. In 2020, Women's Rights NHP - and the National Park Service as a whole - commemorates 100 years since the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which officially recognized women's right to vote.
- 2021 – Golden Gate National Recreation Area, established in 1972, was at the forefront of the National Park Service effort to make "parks for the people, where people are." In creating it, the NPS broke new ground in both public involvement and preserving accessible open space in the densely populated San Francisco Bay Area. Today, it is America's most-visited national park. Each year, more than 17 million people explore its dramatic coastal parklands and sites as diverse as Alcatraz Island, Fort Baker, and Muir Woods National Monument.
- 2022 – Lake Mead National Recreation Area was established in 1964, and was the nation's first National Park Service unit that featured an entirely new focus for public lands: recreation. As the nation's first and largest national recreation area, this year-round playground encompasses 1.5 million acres across both Arizona and Nevada. Composed of striking landscapes including mountains, canyons, valleys, and two vast lakes, the park receives over 7.5 million annual visitors who come to enjoy a variety of outdoor adventures.
