Who was the President of the US during the American Civil War?
Civil War President Abraham Lincoln had just been elected US President when the first Southern state of South Carolina in December of 1860 seceded. That state would other Southern states and become united as the Confederate States of America. Part of the reason for secession was due to the South's concerns that Lincoln would abolish slavery entirely. Since Lincoln had not been inaugurated when the states seceded, though, James Buchanan was technically President at the very start. Jefferson Davis was president of Confederacy.Since it would take the usual long process to amend the US Constitution, to abolish slavery, the election of Abraham Lincoln was not a specific cause for secession. The US Supreme Court had said slavery was constitutional. Also, President elect Lincoln vowed to let slavery alone where it already existed.The South did consider Lincoln an enemy, but their secession had deeper toots then a new president that only gathered 31% of the votes.During the US Civil War, the US President was Abraham Lincoln.
What is the difference about militia men and minutemen?
Militia existed in the colonies long before the American Revolution. With the exception of Pennsylvania, colonies required most able-bodied men to own weapons, to be willing to be called for periodic training, and to defend their communities from attack, primarily by Indians. This was the colonial militia. Minutemen came into being in the wake of the crisis in Boston, in 1774. Essentially, they were a reorganized militia, rid of any vestiges of loyalty to the crown, and trained, far more extensively than they had been previously, so that they could "turn out" at a minute's notice.
