What three things plagued Lincoln while the civil war progressed badly for th north?
Northern failure might drive the four border-states into the arms of the Confederacy. Britain and France might recognise the Confederacy and send military aid. War-weariness in the North could lose Lincoln the General election of 1864.
What might happen to Washington dc if Maryland had joined the south during the civil war?
It might have to be abandoned, since it would have been totally surrounded by enemy states. That is why Lincoln arrested Maryland politicians who were trying to swing the vote to the Confederacy - actualy breaking Habeas Corpus.
Where did the Cilvil War end?
There was no Peace Treaty, because Congress did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. The Confederacy was officially wound-up in early May 1865, which might be taken as a fixed point for the ending of hostilities, though there were still a few Confederate units West of the Mississippi engaged in small skimishes, and quite a lot of Confederate officers on the run, refusing to seek pardon. That is why Appomattox is taken as the notional end of the war, even though Joe Johnston had yet to surrender to Sherman. This was the epic moment, and those two very different men, the solemn aristocrat Lee and the plain ordinary Grant, both felt deeply that they were making history, and it brought out the noble side in both of them.
Why might the sources above report the historical events of the Civil War differently?
Each man was on differant sides of the war( to different perspectives)
How might civil war soldiers felt marching off to war?
At the beginning of the Civil War, young men from both the north and the south were very enthusiastic about fighting in the war. Northerners wanted to thrash the rebels and bring the southern states back into the Union, southerners wanted to destroy the Union army and force them to acknowledge the Confederacy as an independent nation.
Could the south win the civil war if Maryland joined it?
It would certainly have made a lot of trouble, enclosing so much of D.C., though opinion was sharply divided in Maryland. It is commonly agreed that if all the buffer states (Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri) had joined the Confederacy, history might have been different.
What caused Cherokee Indians to join forces with the Confederacy for a time during the US Civil War?
The Cherokee Nation had been badly mistreated by the US government prior to the US Civil War. They helped the Confederacy to a degree because they believed they might get a "better deal" with the Confederates.
Did the british fight with the confederacy in the civil war?
No, the British did not enter the US Civil War, although the Confederates might have welcomed them.
Did secession start the Civil War?
Effectively. The South might claim that they didn't ask for a war. But the launch of the Confederacy - in loud and defiant style - made it inevitable.
Was lincolns justified in his violations of ordinary civil liberties during the Civil war?
Most people would agree that he did the right thing in jailing certain leaders in Maryland who might have driven that state into the arms of the Confederates. If Maryland and the other 'buffer-states' had joined the Confederacy, the outcome might have been very different.

What was the confederate's plan?
During the American Civil War, the Confederacy's initial military plan was a simple but enviable one: to defend its territory from Union incursions. Not needing to invade the Union in order to survive, the Confederacy only needed to parry any attacks that the Union might make against it.
How did the civil rights activists actions affect today?
Today could be a lot different. There might still be slavery, there might still be a lot of things that were stopped, and there might not be a lot of things that were created by civil rights activists.
