How did both the Union and the Confederate governments increase their power during wartime?
During the Civil War, both the Union and Confederate governments expanded their powers through measures such as conscription, which mandated military service, and the imposition of taxes to fund the war effort. The Union implemented the Legal Tender Act, allowing the issuance of paper currency, while the Confederacy resorted to printing money, leading to inflation. Both governments also curtailed civil liberties, with the Union suspending habeas corpus and the Confederacy imposing strict censorship. These actions reflected the necessity of centralized authority to manage wartime challenges effectively.
How did wartime politics affect the confederate and union governments?
Wartime politics significantly shaped both the Confederate and Union governments, as leaders faced the dual challenges of military strategy and domestic support. In the Union, President Abraham Lincoln expanded executive power, implemented the draft, and used wartime measures to suppress dissent, aiming to maintain public morale and support for the war effort. Conversely, the Confederate government struggled with states' rights issues, leading to tensions between central authority and state interests, which hampered their ability to effectively mobilize resources. Both governments had to navigate the complexities of sustaining public support while managing the realities of prolonged conflict.
What is the border state that Lincoln kept with the Union thereby saving Washington D.C?
He allowed Kentucky to stay neutral for the first year of the war. Maryland was a bigger worry - if they had voted Confederate, Washington would have been totally surrounded by enemy states. So Lincoln jailed some pro-Confederate politicians, actually breaking the law of habeas corpus. Missouri was the scene of bitter guerrilla fighting throughout the war, and Lincoln never really controlled it, but at least it did not become a Confederate state. Delaware was too small to make much difference. It raised regiments for both armies, mainly Union.
