Abraham lincoln?
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.

Asked by Mladenko I - Thu Mar 12 21:14:07 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well, it's quite a stretch to compare the two, but I can think of a few similarities and differences. Similarities: They were both powerful people who were very cunning and shrewd politicians. Most people think of Lincoln as this benevolent figure who didn't care about politics and wasn't out for any personal glory, like he was a martyr almost. And while it is true that he had a genuine conviction to improve his country and to serve, he was really a fantastic politician and, like any politician, he occasionally lied, misinformed, and glossed over unpleasantness in the motivations of getting re-elected. Cleopatra too had a powerfully political mind, going so far as to kill several of her siblings so that she could not be overthrown as… [cont.]

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.

Is Abraham Lincoln an example that shatters the economists theory of reality?
Q. Economists believe that each person has an economic bubble around them which limits what they are able to do. Poor people should not be able to do as much as rich people. But Abraham Lincoln was poor. And he became president. I don't think economists say that a person can make their economic bubble of possibility larger without getting more money.

A. 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 period (and the earlier stuff is also helpful) ** John Waugh, *One Man Great Enough* (2007) - his life up to June 1861 (death of Stephen Douglas), a very good read ___ You might also choose to do something on his… [cont.]

A. Lincoln was misunderstood by the South. Now, this is a complex question and many have written books to this question so please understand this is just the basics. There were issues that the South was concerned about that developed an un-necessary division between the North and the South: 1) The South wanted to buy manufactured goods from Europe if they choose to do so. 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. There was no escape from this. 4) The slavery issue was there but in my opinion was not the "end all"… [cont.]

Asked by Jorge H - Fri Jan 1 16:34:13 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

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.

You may find out that your picture is a mere copy and be worth only a few dollars, or it could be an original and worth more. Maybe go on the "Antique Roadshow" its free and you get expertise help.

A. Lincoln was seen as a moderate Republican in his day who initially wanted to stop the spread of slavery. He was unlike radical republicans such as Salmon Chase would called for an immediate end to the moral outrage of slavery. More than anything, Lincoln was a great politician. There are no indications that he thought blacks were equal to white, but he never supported slavery. However, upon being elected president, what may have been Lincoln's personal sentiments, had to be guarded in light of the succession crisis and the unfolding war. Preservation of the Union was his number one priority as president, and every decision he made from the appointment of his commanders to the signing of the emancipation proclamation reflected this goal.… [cont.]
