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. Lincoln invoked the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence and redefined the Civil War as a struggle not merely for the Union, but as "a new birth of freedom" that would bring true equality to all of its citizens.

A. This part of the third paragraph refers to "parties" -- those seeking to save the Union and those seeking to dissolve it (i.e. Secession politicians and state groups) Neither the Federal government's proponents nor the "insurgents" (as Lincoln put them) had a clear forecast that SLAVERY (the cause as he put it at the top of the third paragraph) would be halted before a surrender and the end of military fighting and occupation of rural and urban locales by Union troops. . .

Abraham Lincoln and his most significant contribution?
Q. What would you say is Abraham Lincoln's most significant contribution? I've narrowed it down to three choices... 1) Keeping the Union together during and after the Civil War 2) Making great efforts to end slavery. (Although he didn't) 3) The Gettysburg Address? And please don't try to prove that he didn't do any of these things, or why he shouldn't be considered a great historical figure, because I think he is, and all I'm doing this for is a project :) thanks!

A. The Gettysburg Address. In his Gettysburg Address Lincoln redefined the American nation, arguing that it was born not in 1789 but in 1776, "conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." He declared that the sacrifices of battle had rededicated the nation to the propositions of democracy and equality, "that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." By emphasizing the centrality of the nation, he rebuffed the claims of state sovereignty. While some critics say Lincoln moved too far and too fast, they agree that he dedicated the nation to values that marked "a new founding of the nation

A. They are talking about MEN2B syndrome, a rare disease involving mouth tumors that inevitably leads to cancer. One doctor claimed it based on observation of photos of Lincoln and descriptions of him from the time, as well as evidence from a cast of his face from 1860 that shows a lump on his lip. The doctor claims Lincoln's DNA could be tested based on blood samples from Lincoln's biopsy which are still in possession of the government.

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.

Basically though; he was elected; and before he even gave his inaugural address, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas seceded.He stated in his Inaugural address that he would "Hold and maintain" federal property; he didn't say anything about Secession actually.

But the OUTSIDE of the home is fair play for anyone. This goes for pictures of state capitals, the monuments, etc. all historic places are in public domain and can be sold as art pieces if that's the intent of the photographer.
