The Pendulum of War (Continued) On April 6th, 1861 Grants army of 33,000 men was attacked by the Confederates

commanded by General Albert Johnston near a church named Shiloh. Grants army was able to halt the rebels and General Johnston was killed in the battle. Grant turned the tables on the rebels the next day and soon were in full retreat. The Union had another victory that same day along the Mississippi capturing 4500 soldiers.

With these victories Lincoln presses McClellan to attack the confederate army along the Potomac 20 miles from Washington D.C.

McClellan instead took his army down the Chesapeake Bay hoping to flank the rebels. Lincoln disapproved of McClellan's plan but consented to wisdom. McClellan was able to scare off the confederates, but they lived to fight another day.

Several important rivers and ports now belonged to the Union. This loss kept the south from exporting cotton to European nations they were trying to sway

to there side. The Confederacy was able to gain some support in early 1861, but after the Union

wins along the Mississippi and the capture of New Orleans English and French support dwindled.

Crossroads of FreedomCrossroads of Freedom The Beginning of the End Lincoln had hoped that McClellan could destroy the

Army of Northern Virginia. This did not happen. McClellan claimed that they were beaten. Both sides claimed victory after the Battle at Antietam.

The South claimed there retreat being strategic and the New York Herald claimed the Union army had broken the back of the rebellion.

Lincoln was being pushed heavily for an emancipation proclamation and decided this was the time.

This decision changed the war from a battle to restore the Union, to a battle to free the slaves.

Democrats unanimously denounced the proclamation and vowed to fight against it in the next election.

The borders states unionists also complained. McClellan was also angry at the proclamation, but was reminded by friends to do

his soldierly duty.

The Emancipation Proclamation had a lot of impact abroad. The Confederate ambassadors to Britain before the Battle of Antietam and

the Emancipation proclamation had almost reached a deal from the British for recognition of there new Government.

Lincoln finally had enough of McClellan's immobility. He was relieved of his command and replaced with General Burnside. McClellan supporters were infuriated and wanted to march on Washington. McClellan's stopped this talk and reminded them of there duty and to obey

General Burnside. McClellan would go on to run for the Presidency in 1864, but lost to Lincoln.

The Confederates were down, but not out. Lee would once again invade the North and was turned back at Gettysburg. The Battle of Antietam was the beginning of the end for the South.

Here they started there slide down to inevitable surrender.
