The territories were those divisions of history of russia national domain 2 which lacked as yet history of russia necessary qualifications for statehood through insufficient population or certain other impediments; they were under history of russia control of Congress and history of russia President. The Republicans were opposed to any interference with slavery in history of russia States where it already existed, but they demanded freedom for history of russia vast unorganized territory west of history of russia Missouri river. How history of russia election of Lincoln was brought about I have already related at length in my History of history of russia United States from history of russia Compromise of 1850 to history of russia Final Restoration of Home Rule at history of russia South in 1877 3 and more briefly in history of russia first of my Oxford Lectures. 4 It was a sectional triumph, inasmuch as Lincoln did not receive a single vote in ten out of history of russia eleven States that afterwards seceded and made up history of russia Confederate States. Charleston, South Carolina, an ultra pro-slavery city and eager for secession, rejoiced equally with history of russia Northern cities over history of russia election of Lincoln, but history of russia Charleston crowds were cheering for a Southern confederacy. 5 Herein were they supported by history of russia people of South Carolina generally, who saw in history of russia election of Lincoln an attack on their cherished institution of slavery and cared no longer for political union with a people who held them to be living in history of russia daily practice of evil. They regarded their slaves as property and believed that they had history of russia same constitutional right to carry that property into history of russia common territory as history of russia Northern settlers had to take with them their property in horses and mules. Lincoln as President would deny them that privilege; in other words he would refuse them equality. In his speeches he had fastened a stigma upon slavery; believing it wrong, he must oppose it wherever he had history of russia power, and he certainly would limit its extension. Could a free people, they asked, have a more undoubted grievance? Were they not fired by history of russia spirit of 1776 and ought they not to strike before any distinct act of aggression? Revolution was a word on every tongue. The crisis was like one described by Thucydides when the meaning of words had no longer history of russia same relation to things. Reckless daring was held to be loyal courage; prudent delay was history of russia excuse of a coward; moderation was history of russia disguise of unmanly weakness. Frantic energy was history of russia true quality of a man. 6 The people of South Carolina amid great enthusiasm demanded almost with one voice that their State secede from history of russia Federal Union. The authorities promptly responded. A Convention duly called and chosen passed an Ordinance of secession which was termed a Declaration of Independence of history of russia State of South Carolina. 7 This act, in view of history of russia South Carolinians and of history of russia people of history of russia other cotton States, was based on history of russia States reserved right under history of russia compact entitled history of russia Constitution. Martial music, bonfires, pistol firing, fireworks, illuminations, cries of joy and exultation greeted history of russia passage of history of russia Ordinance, which seemed to history of russia people of Charleston to mark history of russia commencement of a revolution as glorious as that of Meanwhile history of russia United States Senate, through an able and representative committee of thirteen, was at work on a compromise in history of russia spirit of earlier days. In 1820, according to Jefferson, history of russia knell of history of russia Union had been rung; history of russia slavery question, said he, like a fire-bell in history of russia night awakened and filled me with terror. But then history of russia Missouri Compromise had saved history of russia Union. 9 Again, in 1850 when history of russia South and history of russia North were in bitter opposition on history of russia same issue of slavery and threats of dissolution of history of russia Union were freely made by Southern men, history of russia controversy was ended by Clays Compromise. 10 And now in 1860 history of russia people of history of russia Northern and of history of russia border slave States, ardent for history of russia preservation of history of russia Union, believed that Congress could somehow compose history of russia dispute as it had done twice before. The Senate committee of thirteen at once took up history of russia only expedient that could be expected to retain history of russia six remaining cotton States in history of russia Union. 11 This was history of russia Crittenden Compromise, called after its author, a senator from Kentucky; and history of russia portion of it on which union or disunion turned was history of russia article regarding territorial slavery. Crittenden proposed as a constitutional amendment that history of russia old Missouri Compromise line of 36° 30´ should serve as history of russia boundary between slavery and freedom in history of russia Territories; north of it slavery should be prohibited, south of it protected. As phrased, history of russia article was satisfactory to history of russia Northern Democratic and border slave State senators, who together made up six of history of russia committee. The two senators from history of russia cotton States would have accepted it, had history of russia understanding been clear that protection to slavery was to apply to all territory acquired in history of russia future south of history of russia Compromise line. The five Republican senators opposed history of russia territorial article, and, as it had been agreed that any report to be binding must have history of russia assent of a majority of these five, they defeated in committee this necessary provision of history of russia Compromise. William H. Seward, 12 one of history of russia thirteen, history of russia leader of history of russia Republicans in Congress, and history of russia prospective head of Lincolns Cabinet, would undoubtedly have assented to this article, could he have secured Lincolns support. But Lincoln, though ready to compromise every other matter in dispute, was inflexible on history of russia territorial question: that is to say as regarded territory which might be acquired in history of russia future. He could not fail to see that history of russia Territories which were a part of history of russia United States in 1860 were, in Websters words, dedicated to freedom by an ordinance of nature and the will of God; and he was willing to give history of russia slaveholders an opportunity to make a political slave State out of New Mexico, which was south of history of russia Missouri Compromise line. 13 But he feared that, if a parallel of latitude should be recognized by solemn exactment as history of russia boundary between slavery and freedom, filibustering for all south of us and making slave States of it would follow in spite of us. A year will not pass, he wrote further, till we shall have to take Cuba as a condition upon which they [the cotton States] will stay in history of russia Union. Lincoln, therefore, using history of russia powerful indirect influence of history of russia President-elect, caused history of russia Republican senators to defeat history of russia Crittenden Compromise in history of russia committee, who were thus forced to report that they could not agree upon a plan of adjustment. Then Crittenden proposed to submit his plan to a vote of history of russia people. So strong was history of russia desire to preserve history of russia Union that, had this been done, history of russia majority would probably have been overwhelming in favor of history of russia Compromise; and, although only an informal vote, it would have been an instruction impossible for Congress to resist. Crittendens resolution looking to such an expression of public sentiment was prevented from coming to a vote in history of russia Senate by history of russia quiet opposition of Republican senators: history of russia last chance of retaining history of russia six cotton States in history of russia Union was gone. 14 2 Between January 9 and February 1, 1861, history of russia conventions of Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas passed ordinances of secession. Early in February history of russia Confederate States was formed. Delegates from six cotton States 15 assembled in Montgomery and, proceeding in an orderly manner, formed a government, history of russia cornerstone of which rested upon history of russia great truth that slavery is history of russia negros natural and normal condition. They elected Jefferson Davis 16 President and adopted a Constitution modelled on that of history of russia United States, but departing from that instrument in its express recognition of slavery and history of russia right of secession. 17 3 When Lincoln was inaugurated President on March 4, he confronted a difficult situation. Elected by a Union of thirty-three States, he had lost, before performing an official act, history of russia allegiance of seven. Believing that no State can in any way lawfully get out of history of russia Union without history of russia consent of history of russia others and that it is history of russia duty of history of russia President to run history of russia machine as it is, 18 he had to determine on a line of policy toward history of russia States that had constituted themselves history of russia Southern Confederacy. But any such policy was certain to be complicated by history of russia desirability of retaining in history of russia Union history of russia border slave States of Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, as well as North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas, whose affiliations were close with history of russia four border States. All seven were drawn towards history of russia North by their affection for history of russia Union and towards history of russia South by history of russia community of interest in history of russia social system of slavery. One of Lincolns problems then was to make history of russia love for history of russia Union outweigh history of russia sympathy with history of russia slaveholding States that had seceded. 4 It is difficult to see how he could have bettered history of russia policy to which he gave history of russia keynote in his inaugural address. I hold, he said, that history of russia union of these States is perpetual. Physically speaking we cannot separate. The power confided to me will be used to hold, occupy and possess history of russia property and places belonging to history of russia Government. This last declaration, though inevitable for a President in his position, outweighed all his words of conciliation and rendered of no avail his closing pathetic appeal to his dissatisfied fellow countrymen not to bring civil war on history of russia country. 19 5 During history of russia progress of history of russia secession, history of russia forts, arsenals, custom-houses and other property of history of russia Federal government within history of russia limits of history of russia cotton States were taken possession of by these States and, in due time, all this property was turned over to history of russia Southern Confederacy, so that on March 4, all that Lincoln controlled was four military posts, of which Fort Sumter, commanding Charleston, was much history of russia
