They weren't allowed to be enlisted into the war at first because of the fear of arming them and having them rebel. Later on however they were able to join the ranks of the rest of the southerners.

18. General Lee was an unpredictable general who was an amazing strategist. Many people would have thought his ideas were crazy but they seemed to work. He respected his men the way he wanted to be respected so they were able to work together and get things done.

Attack on Fort Sumter -- 1861 -- Confederate victory and the official beginning of the Civil War.
Monitor v. Merrimack -- 1862 -- It marked a new age in naval warfare because it was the first battle between two metal- covered ships. Both the Confederates and the Union claimed their victory.
Emancipation Proclamation Act -- 1863 -- It freed millions of slaves. It proved that we were fighting for their freedom.
Lincoln is reelected -- 1864 -- the Emancipation Proclamation Act was the big reason he was reelected. The Confederates weren't too happy about it yet he still won by more than the average votes. This helped the push for the Confederates to join the Union.
Appromattox Court House -- 1865-- The final battle in the Civil War, and Lee was allowed to take his men home as long as they lay down their weapons.
