In Sept, 1860 and entranced medium at the house of Gov. Talmadge, in New York, saw and described a vision. She said: " I see a a vast concourse of people standing on the coast, who are anxiously watching a vessel whos officers and crew have deserted her to her fate, and she is floaing towards the breakers. But I now see seven men go out on a life-boat and take possession of her, and under their guidance she is brought safely into port amidist the rejoicings of the vast multitude who are present." She further said: "I see a scroll unrolled in the heavens and I read on it the inscription, "17th April, 1861."
She then described the vision and said civil war would soon commence in the United States that the ship seen represented the ship of state That the President would desert the country to its fate; that the President elect would take charge of the Government, and that the first steps taken for the supression of the rebellion would be on the 17th day of April, 1861. That vision and interpretation were given in SEpt. 1860, and were published in the Herald of progress, a paper I then took, on the 5th day of Dec. 1860, on which day 75,000 men were tendered to the Government by telegraph from various sections of the Union.
Thus I have demonstrated that Modern Spiritualism, through its mediums, has exhibited a knowledge of the dark future which, it is asserted only the eye of God can pierce.
Let him that wishes to stultify himself assert that all thus done is the work of demons or devils, but at the same time let him remember that he has stript God and his angels of all their distinguishing characteristics.
The South threatened to secede from the Union if Abraham Lincoln became president. Abraham Lincoln won the presidential election of 1860. A little over a month after the election, South Carolina seceded from the Union. By the end of January 1861 six other states, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida, had seceded. On February 4, 1861, at Montgomer, Alabama, the government of the Confederate States of American was born, Jefferson Davis, President. The Union had split under the presidency of James Buchanan.
On March 4, 1861 Abraham Lincoln became president. There was no doubt that Lincoln intended to do everything in his power to preserve the Union.
Fort Sumter, an unfinished federal fort in the harbor at Charleston, South Carolina. Both President Buchanan and Lincoln refused to turn this fort over to the Confederacy. Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, instructed the commanding general at Charleston to demand the immediate surrender of Sumter.. If Major Anderson (Major Robert Anderson, Garrison Commander) refused, the Sourthern batteries were to open fire. Anderson refused and, on April 12, 1861, the American Civil War had begun. Virgina, North Carolina,, Arkaansas, and Tennessee were added to teh Confederacy. Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, Delaware and the western counties of Virginia stayed with the Union. It was here that father fought against son, brother against brother, as families found their loyalties torn between the warring sides.
On April 9, 1865, Palm Sunday, General Ulysis S. Grant and General Robert E. Lee met at the McLean House in the village of Appomattox Court House (Virginia) and Lee surrendered. On April 26, 1865 Confederate General Johnston surrendered to Northern General William Sherman at Durham Station, North Carolina. The final surrender of Confederate troops who had continued fighting came on May 26, 1865, the American Civil War had ended.
