The Campaign of 1860 was a campaign that would decide the
United States fate. There were two main candidates, Abraham
Lincoln and Stephen Douglas; Buchanan had retired from public
service. The South had said if Abraham Lincoln won the
Campaign of 1860 and became the next President they would
withdraw from the Union. Abraham Lincoln won the Presidency in
1860, having won two-thirds of the electoral votes, but he
only had forty percent of the popular vote.
President Abraham Lincoln had quite a bit to deal with:
within the first four months of him becoming President seven
states had already seceded from the Union, letting him know
that he was not wanted as President. But Lincoln had a job to
do: his main interest at this point was keeping the Union
together, and he did not have any real concerns about
abolishing slavery.
When the southern
states of Alabama, Georgia, Florida,
South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas
seceded they formed the Confederate States. The Confederate
states had set out to attack Fort Sumter in 1861. Lincoln
tried to halt this attempt by ordering the navy to blockade
southern ports, this preventing the trade of the South’s
moneymaker, cotton. This also prevented the South from
obtaining manufactured goods it needed from the North, goods
that were essential such as guns and clothing the South could
not produce for itself. The beginning of the war forced four
more states to reluctantly join the Confederacy.
Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina,
and Arkansas felt they had no other choice, due to the fact
they also were slave states.
The main problem the South had was that they did not have a
Unified Army. They had regional pride: each state or region
would have their own small army, and there was not a lot of
unification. But they soon got their act together; when the
first real battle of the Civil War took place at a creek
called, Bull Run, the Confederates surprised the Union. Under
the leadership of General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, the
Confederate army soon sent the Union running back to Washington.
With this defeat the Northerners realized that this was not
just a rebellion that would be easily defeated, this was WAR.
After loosing the battle of Bull Run, Lincoln changed
generals; his new appointed General was George B. McClellan.
During the summer of 1862, General Robert Lee and General
George McClellan met, again at Bull Run; this meeting would
mean a second victory for the Confederate Army at Bull Run.
Then Lee moved onward North, into the Union State of Maryland.
In Maryland is where the Battle of Antietam occurred. This is
considered one of the bloodiest days of the Civil War. Both
the Union and Confederate armies suffered great losses. This
was barely a victory for the Union army, but it was a victory.
With this loss Lee retreated back towards the South, the Union
gave chase but was not quick enough to catch them.
With the victory at Antietam, Lincoln choose this time to
deliver The Emancipation Proclamation: this executive order
freed the slaves in the areas that rebellion was established,
but it did not free the slaves in the Union slave states or in
areas that the Union recaptured. At this point, the point of
the war completely changed from preservation of the Union to
the abolition of slavery.
Lincoln also decided to change generals again: he was not
satisfied with the performance of McClellan, nor was he
satisfied with the next two generals, General Ambrose Burnside
and General Joseph Hooker: neither of these really wanted the
job. Finally, Lincoln appointed General George Meade, very
soon after his appointment there came the bloodiest, most
gruesome battle of the Civil War, Gettysburg. This battle was
fought on July 1, 1863: it was a hard battle, and it became a
Union victory, with more than forty-five thousand men killed
and wounded. It was a devastating site for both Meade and Lee,
General Lee had lost almost two-third of his entire army, and
Meade had lost one-forth of his. Their thoughts were focused
on that there were so many dead for the cause.
Lincoln chose this time to travel
to Gettysburg to deliver what is now known as the Gettysburg
Address. The address was 272 words long, and did not mention
slavery, the battle or the Union Army. It was widely accepted
by all people.
After Gettysburg, Lincoln had decided to change Generals
again. This time his choice was Ulysses S. Grant, his best
change for the Union yet. Grant was a fighter, he captured
important Confederate forts in Tennessee and led the Union
army in a battle at Vicksburg and won. Then Grant’s only
thought was getting Lee and Richmond.
This was the beginning of the end, with William Tecumseh
Sherman destroying the Confederate’s way of getting materials
to fight the war by destroying railroads,
factories and its plantations. He was breaking the spirit of
the Confederacy: when Sherman burned Atlanta it was all but
over. Grant surrounded Richmond and it fell to the Union army
on April 3,1865. Lee surrendered and it was a mournful day for
the Confederacy: the Union had stripped it of its most valued
treasure, their PRIDE, and the Confederacy was on its knees,
they thought, never to rise again.
Just twelve days after the surrender of Lee, President
Lincoln was attending a show at the Ford Theater, where he was
fatally wounded. He died on April 15, 1865.
Ironically Booth performed a few times at the
theatre in downtown Montgomery according to the Historical
Marker on Perry Street.
The idol of the South to this day, Virginian Robert E. Lee
had some difficulty in adjusting to the new form of warfare
that unfolded with the Civil war, but this did not prevent him
from keeping the Union armies in Virginia at bay for almost
three years. The son of Revolutionary War hero "Light Horse"
Harry Lee-who fell into disrepute in his later years attended
West Point and graduated second in his class. During his four
years at the military academy he did not earn a single demerit
and served as the cadet corps' adjutant. Upon his 1829
graduation he was posted to the engineers. Before the Mexican
War he served on engineering projects in Georgia, Virginia,
and New York. During the war he served on the staffs of John
Wool and Winfield Scott. Particularly distinguishing himself
scouting for and guiding troops, he won three brevets and was
slightly wounded at Chapultepec.

migrated into Chambers County Alabama about 1820.

In part 3 ,I want to discuss sisters Lavinia and
Elizabeth Anderson who
married Sellers brothers. Each had
Cherokee Blood on the paternal and
maternal side. They had
two grandmothers who were of the Cherokee Tribe on
their
fathers side that made their Father half Cherokee. They also
had
Cherokee blood on their mother's side too,having at
least one grandmother
of Cherokee orgin,making their
grandmother Lavinia Brack at least one
quarter blood
Cherokee.
------------------------------------
Mary--this
just caught my eye--I have a ggrandma Jennie Ann
Anderson,
ggrandpa made her mad by calling her Black Dutch.
My dad said she would
be ready to kill when he called her
that. Did this record give the names
of the two Anderson
girls ancestors, did they have a brother to pass the
name
down?

Steve says: I will mention that it is
thru Lavinia Brack and her Mother
Ester Doty that we can
trace our line back to Edward Doty ,of the
Mayflower,and
thence to the European lines of royalty back 33
generations
to "Alfred The Great"and even earlier. Also the
Holmes line is traceable
back in Europe over 14 more
generations,but all this is clearly beyond the
scope of
email messages of this sort.
I would hope you will provide
me with a descendant genealogy of your
husband's family
from James Wesley Sellers to your family.
Lou that is about all I have gotten from Steve, I will
try to contact him
again. I did send him a package like I
sent to you,with no comment as of
yet, So maybe he isn't
done with the census work he has been doing.
