Jan 1858 Stephan Douglas dies of pneumonia
Feb 1858 Lecompton Constitution passes Congress, Kansas admitted as slave state
Mar 1858 Nebraska amitted as free state
Nov 1860 Lincoln wins narrow election
Feb 1861 Southern states start secceding
Mar 1861 Lincoln takes over, Civil War starts
Apr 1861 Lincoln assassinated, Hannibal Hamlin assumes office, issues Emancipation Proclamation for all United States
May 1861 Kentucky and Missouri join Confederacy
Jun 1861 South wins Battle of Hagerstown (Maryland)
Jul 1861 South wins Battlle of Frederick (Maryland)
Sep 1861 South manages to win the bloody Battle of Washington, Capitol relocates to Philadelphia
Oct 1861 Hamlin impeached, Simon Cameron assumes presidency
Nov 1861 Hamlin signs Treaty of Baltimore, ending the Civil War and recognizing the CSA.
