Brother's Blood and Border Blood The remaining Border States of the United States were very crucial for both the North and the South, as they could secede at any moment and join the South, thus putting Washington, DC in danger. The Border States have not yet seceded, but they could at any time. If they did, Washing DC (the North's capital) would be completely surrounded my seceded states and could easily be attacked. Lincoln had to act fast to keep these Border States in the North, so he used "dubious" legal methods such as sending troops to Virginia and Missouri to secure these areas. Lincoln assured the Border States that he was only trying to save the union and not free the slaves, as all the border states were slave states. The Balance of Forces

2.07 Assessment Our national anthem comes from the lyrics come from "Defence of?Fort McHenry", a poem written in 1814 by a 35-year-old Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. IT was finally adopted by the government as our national anthem on March 3, 1931. Next the star spangled banner flag was created because they wanted a flag big enough that the British could see from miles and miles away! So they got Mary Pickergills and her daughter to create the massive flag which they used over 400 yards of wool. 15 stars were cut, 8 red and 7 white stripes were cut as well and by that August the flag was done. It was measured at 30 by 42 feet costing them $ 405.90.

Patrick Connolly Mr. Campbell Honors American History 27 January 2013 Reconstruction or Restoration? Directly following the Civil War, there were many questions left unanswered. Supposedly the North had won, and it was up to the remaining leaders to decide: what to do about the rebel leaders, what to do about the seceded states, and what to do about the freed slaves. A lot of those questions were answered during the period of ?reconstruction,? but the process of figuring those things out was a very shaky one. To reconstruct is to ?construct again,? or ?rebuild.? It can also be argued that this period following the Civil War was a time of restoration (the bringing back or reinstating) of the South to its previous state.
