Trial by Fire: The American Civil War: Week 10: “The End of War and the
End of Slavery” Dr Adam Burns
The Changing Course of Abolitionism?
Ira Berlin: “The Civil War changed nothing and everything” –
nothing= slavery and division still continued. Slavery in other forms-
black codes; segregation. Everything changed because country was
altered- start a slow process of rights for everyone not just white
men.
Berlin argues that African Americans remained at the vanguard of
the movement
He suggests that – as in the previous half century – slavery “came
apart in pieces”
What did Lincoln Believe? - links to assessment 2
Foner’s recent study suggests:
1. 1 Strongly antislavery
2. Not an abolitionist, or a Radical Republican – gov country part 2 of
reconstruction.
3. Racial views changed during the war, but not to principled
egalitarianism
4. Tended to “lowest common denominator” of antislavery sentiment
5. “Growth” cliché problematic
