prior to the Civil War, including references to conditions in South

Carolina, the invention of the cotton gin, expansion of slavery, and economic

dependence on slavery

Page 16: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

The importance of slavery grew after the invention of the cotton gin. Seeds could be removed from cotton balls easily, so plantation owners wanted to grow even more cotton. This meant they needed more slaves to grow and pick more cotton.

South Carolina did not allow abolitionist newspapers to be sold in the state.

People in South Carolina feared that slaves would start to revolt.

Page 25: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

The abolitionist movement in South Carolina was not effective, and made people in South Carolina support slavery even more.

Page 26: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

The northern and southern states disagreed over slavery. Some people in the north thought that slavery was wrong.

South Carolinians were worried that national laws (United States laws) would be created and would end slavery.

Page 27: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

• John C. Calhoun believed in states’ rights.

South Carolina depended on exporting cotton and importing other goods to survive.

The United States knew this, so they blockaded Charleston’s harbor so that no supplies could come into the harbor or leave.

Page 48: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

• The blockaded harbor caused a lot of hardship for people in South Carolina because they could not get the food or supplies they needed.

All classes of people suffered because of the Civil War.

Food, clothing, and other important things were in short supply because the Union blockade of Charleston’s fort did not allow things to be imported.

Page 58: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

Some elite plantation owners fought for the Confederacy, but most did not.

They did not have to fight because they needed to look after their plantations and their slaves.

Page 59: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

• The elite lost a lot of their wealth because they were not able to export their cotton.

• There was a rule called the “20 Slave Rule” that said people who owned more than 20 slaves did not have to fight in the war. That way, they could watch over their slaves and make sure they were working and not trying to escape.

Page 65: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

The plantation system collapsed as a result of slaves being freed after the Civil War ended.

Page 68: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

• The cotton economy of South Carolina was still strong after the war because of sharecropping.

Page 69: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

What is sharecropping?

• Sharecropping was used because plantation owners still needed workers, but did not have money to pay them. Instead, they would give the freedmen (freed slaves) land, seeds, and equipment for them to use to plant and grow cotton. In return, the freedmen would give the plantation owners a share of the crop they grew.

Page 70: 3-4: I will demonstrate an understanding of the events that led to the Civil War, the course of the War and Reconstruction, and South Carolina’s role in

• The Civil War destroyed many South Carolina cities.

• The Confederate states had created their own form of money, which was worthless after the war.

• Many men died during the Civil War so there were not as many workers to rebuild South Carolina.

• The Reconstruction after the Civil War was NOT the rebuilding of cities.

• The Reconstruction was the rebuilding of the political Union. The United States government would not help rebuild the South’s economy.
