Abraham Lincoln Quote “Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.” This quote was stated by Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was born in 1809 and died in 1865. He was the sixteenth president of the United States, conserved the Union throughout the Civil War and created the freedom for the slaves.

The Emancipation Proclamation officially granted freedom to slaves in rebellious states once, and if only, recaptured on January 1, 1863. Lincoln used the Emancipation Proclamation as a war tactic to suppress the Confederacy and ensure border state loyalty. Lincoln’s concern of losing key border states, hindered full and immediate abolition in the Union. Lincoln restrained from emancipation because of its constitution right, but progression into the second year of war opted for change. If the Confederacy did not surrender by New Year’s Day and the Union won the war, then no opposition would be met against the proclamation.

Although Lincoln and the victorious Republicans had promised not to interfere with slavery in states where it already existed, they firmly opposed slavery 's spread to any federal territories. Between December 1860 and February 1861, the seven Deep South states seceded to avoid what they perceived as a long-term threat to their slaveholding interests. After Confederates fired on Fort Sumter in mid-April 1861, Lincoln 's call for 75,000 volunteers to suppress the rebellion prompted four slave states of the Upper South, including Virginia, to join their Deep South brethren. Four other slave states, typically called the Border States, remained loyal to the Union. The United States mustered at least 2.1 million men, about half of its 1860 military-age population.

This decision is considered the worst rendered by the Supreme Court; however, would subsequently be later overturned by the passing of the 13th and 14th Amendment. With the civil war going on its third year, National Archives states, “It was only until President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, that all persons held as slaves within the rebellious states are, henceforward shall be free” (The Emancipation Proclamation, 2018). President Lincoln gave moral reinforcement to the union’s cause but also gave hope to hundreds of thousands of African Americans.

When Abraham Lincoln assumed the office of the President of the United States in 1861, he was about to face in reality what no other American president had ever had to face: a divided union. In fact, seven states in the South had already seceded and had established a new federal government for themselves – the Confederate States of America. Several other states were poised to join the new Confederacy (Wilson et al., 1990). In his inaugural address, Lincoln told the South that he would not interfere with the institution of slavery “wherever it exists” (Wilson, et al, 1990, p. ).

With only their race against them, the black community is ostracized and not taken into full consideration in the eyes of the law. “As she observes the trial of Tom Robinson, Scout begins to discern differences in class in her hierarchical southern community” (S. Ware). Not only is the justice system prejudiced against blacks, but Scout also begins to understand the social stratifications of her own white social system. This system incorporates the Finches as the highest social class, with people such as the Cunninghams following, then the Ewells, and blacks occupy the bottom of the social pyramid. With no support from the surrounding community, blacks are oppressed and stripped of their true rights.

Johnson will serve as a Connecticut agent, to help put the colony’s title on a Native American land. While Johnson is at Britain, he will soon realize that Britain’s policy is mostly made up of American’s conditions. When the Patriots become wild up with their demands, Johnson knew that he couldn’t be part of the Patriots actions.

Ft. Sumter and its impact Today December 20, 1860, South Carolina seceded from the Union. A few days later, Federal troops took back 68 stationed in Charleston, South Carolina, to Fort Sumter, an island in the port of Charleston. North Fort is considered to be the property of the Government of the United States. The people in South Carolina thinks that the property belongs to the new Confederation which is not correct.

When Abraham Lincoln became President there was a fear from the southerners that the southern way of life would end. The southerners thought that if the western territories became free states that the Republicans would change the Constitution and make slavery in all areas outlawed and many thought that they would leave the Union before this inflicted upon them. The southerners held back from the division until 1860 when Lincoln became President. In history it is known that South Carolina was the first state that began the secession. “On December 20, 1860, a state convention repealed South Carolina’s ratification of the U.S. Constitution and voted to withdraw from the Union.

He served in the U.S. Senate for six years he was elected on January 11, 1871 But on March 17, 1871 he decided to resigned and later became director of the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad. On October 21, 1864 Clayton wrote a letter from Pine Bluff, Arkansas to Gen. John Halderman about that he was not convinced by Gen. Marauder 's threats to attack Pine Bluff; he believed that Magruder was attempting to distract Gen. Price’s movements in Missouri. Clayton expressed hope that slavery would be abolished and that Lincoln would win the upcoming presidential election.

But there were other unique obstacles in their way, which Johnson turned to the president to address. She made clear to Lincoln that she had weighed the pros and cons of her son’s enlistment beforehand. She even considered the horror that he might be taken prisoner. Confederates identified black soldiers as slave insurrectionists, regardless of their antebellum status. They released their wrath on captives in the form of summary executions and re-enslavement, as if they had engaged in high treason against the Southern nation-state.
