The state had long been waiting for an event that would unite the South against the antislavery forces. By February 1, 1861, five more Southern states had seceded. On February 8, the six states signed a provisional constitution for the Confederate States of America. The remaining Southern states as yet remained in the Union, although Texas had begun to move on its secession.  \n1. What state seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860?  \na. Alabama  \nb. North Carolina  \nc. South Carolina  \nd. Virginia  \n2. On February 8, 1861, six secessionist states together formed what new nation?  \n___________________________________  \n___________________________________  \n___________________________________  \nLess than a month later, March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as president of the United States. In his inaugural address, he declared  \nthe Confederacy \"legally void.\" His speech closed with a plea for restoration of the bonds of union, but the South turned a deaf ear. On April 12, Confederate guns opened fire on the federal garrison at Fort Sumter in the Charleston, South Carolina, harbor. A war had begun in which more Americans would die than in anyother conflict before or since.  \n3. Who became president of the United States in 1861?  \na. Abraham Lincoln  \nb. Jefferson Davis  \nc. John Wilkes Booth  \nd. Ulysses S. Grant  \n4. The U. S. Civil War began on April  \n12, 1861, when the Confederates fired on what fort, located in Charleston harbor?  \na. Fort Detroit  \nb. Fort Duquesne  \nc. Fort Meigs  \nd. Fort Sumter  \nIn the seven states that had seceded, the people responded positively to the Confederate action and the leadership of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Both sides now tensely awaited the action of the slave states that thus far had remained loyal. Virginia seceded on  \n[Free Educational Materials Online: www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](Free Educational Materials Online: www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nName:   Date:   Class:    \nApril 17; Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina followed quickly.  \n5. Who served as president of the Confederacy?  \n6. Which of the following states did not join the Confederacy?  \na. Arkansas  \nb. Ohio  \nc. Tennessee  \nd. South Carolina  \nNo state left the Union with greater reluctance than Virginia. Its statesmen had a leading part in the winning of the Revolution and the framing of the Constitution, and it had provided the nation with five presidents. With Virginia went Colonel Robert E. Lee, who declined the command of the Union Army out of loyalty to his native state.  \nBetween the enlarged  \nConfederacy and the free-soil North lay the border slave states of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, which, despite some sympathy with the South, would remain loyal to the Union.  \n7. Name the four border slaveholding states that remained loyal to the  \nUnion.  \n___________________________________  \n___________________________________  \nEach side entered the war with high hopes for an early victory. In material resources the North enjoyed a decided advantage. Twenty-three states with a population of 22 million were arrayed against 11 states inhabited by nine million, including slaves. The industrial superiority of the North exceeded even its preponderance in population, providing it with abundant facilities for manufacturing arms and ammunition, clothing, and other supplies. It had a greatly superior railway network.  \n8. List three advantages of the North.  \nThe South nonetheless had certain advantages. The most important was geography; the South was fighting a defensive war on its own territory. It could establish its independence simply by beating off the Northern armies. The South also had a stronger military tradition, and possessed the more experienced military leaders.  \n9.
