Abraham Lincoln?
Q. I'm doing a History Fair project on Abraham Lincoln. I want to know which part of Abraham Lincoln's life was most important, and something that I could find a lot to research on. Can you help me out?

A. Tony C's idea (of his youth) might be a nice idea, hypothetically. The only problem is, that's the part we actually know the LEAST about, so you'd be working with a lot of later mythology, not solid material. If you want to focus on one PERIOD of his life, I would suggest the period just preceding his Presidency -- how he became a champion of the young anti-slavery Republican Party in the 1850s, beginning with his reaction to the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, and featuring the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 (including the interesting earlier senate race Lincoln nearly won) A couple of very solid sources for that: ** William Lee Miller, *Lincoln's Virtues: An Ethical Biography* (2002) - the second half of the book is focused on this… [cont.]

Q. why were Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri (border states) important to Abraham
Asked by Beuty - Sun Jan 6 11:52:35 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Secessionist feeling was very strong in these "border states." Lincoln wanted to keep them in the Union for several reasons. They were important to his declaration that the war was not about slavery, but about maintaining the union of the states into one nation. Lincoln had some help in keeping the border states loyal to the Union. The farmers in the western area of Virginia had no loyalty to slave owners. They had no interest in fighting and dying for slavery. They seceded from Virginia and the Republicans provided the means for West Virginia to become a Union state in 1863. Even though the people in the border states were against secession, they were not against slavery. Lincoln issued several declarations to convince them that the war… [cont.]

A. No, not particularly. He took office as a slave holder, then only under pressure did he relent and get a law passed banning slavery. He did not free anyone. The law did. He lost control of his generals and had more infighting and backstabbing then anyone. He had no military experience, having screwed up one assignment in the Guard. He, like Kennedy, only got famous for being killed.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

The North wanted to promote "Made in the USA". 2) The North wanted to tax imported goods, the South did not. 3) The South realized the the North would have most of the money and most of the population and therefore would dictate to the South how the USA would be run.

A. The only time a world cruise would be necessary is if the overhaul was being done on the East Coast because the carriers cannot go through the Panama Canal. Other wise it will stick to WestPacs when completed and other exercises, trials, workups in the Pacific area. This overhaul could take a few months or longer. If berthing is allowed during shipyards on board that is where you will be, if not then you will be assigned a barracks room.
