How did the Dred Scott decision raise or reduce the tension over the slavery issue?
Asked by Wiki User
Douglas argued that each state/territory should have the right to authorize or prohibit slavery. Lincoln argued that there should be no such right - that the US could not continue to exist half slave and half free. This became somewhat academic when the Supreme Court decided in Dred Scott (1857) that the Federal government had no power to regulate slavery in states/territories that were acquired after the creation of the United States.

What was the significance of Abraham Lincoln's death?
Asked by Wiki User
The significance of President Lincoln's assassination cannot be overstated. It had a profound affect on the reconstruction on the Southern States that were part of the Confederacy.
It was made clear in Lincoln's second inaugural address in March of 1865 that he believed the entire nation was responsible for the Civil War. He also reminded the nation that the slavery issue was not an 1820 or 1850 Missouri Compromise issue. He (including himself ) had been tolerant of slavery since the beginning of the Republic.
With the said, it's clear to many if not most of American historians that Lincoln favored a "healing process" in bringing back the rebel States into the Union. Not the severe radical republican method that in so many words was a revengeful peace.
Without the power of a most intelligent and compassionate head of state such as Lincoln was, there was no substitute for his own guidance & courage to contain the radical republicans from foolish measures that would wound an open sore even more.
Even after his 2nd term would have been over, he would have been there as leader of the Republican Party & set it on a better course than it went without him.

What was Abraham Lincoln mom and dad's occupation?
Asked by Wiki User
Prior to her marriage to Thomas Lincoln, Twenty-year-old Nancy would move into a family's home and take care of the family's children. She would also spin flax and wool into yarn, weave the yarn into cloth and make the family's clothes. She was known for her skill in making clothes.
After her marriage to Thomas, the family moved into a 14X14 shed near Elizabethtown (Source: Ward H. Lamon). Sarah was born in this small shed. They lived in poverty.
A year after the birth of Nancy Sarah Lincoln the family moved to Nolin Creek. Nancy would care for her baby, Sarah. They had the luxury of having forks, spoons and plates made of tin. She made the diapers and rinsed the dirty diapers in the moving water of a stream. She would cook the family's food, planted a small garden and took care of the home. The home was primitive but comfortable for the time and place.
When they moved to Pigeon Creek things got much worse. Nancy cooked the family's meals in a single iron pot hanging over a fire in the fireplace. The pot was never washed and the fire never was allowed to go out. Food was added for each meal. You could be eating food that was in the pot for over a week. It was always kept hot in the pot. There was no refrigeration.
They had knives made of metal. There is no record of them having a metal fork or spoon at this time of their lives. Thomas carved the forks and spoons out of wood. He also made plates from wood. Drinking cups and bowls were made from gourds.
When Abraham and Sarah were children, Nancy made their clothes. She did not make them underwear. The children did not know what underwear was. They never wore or had shoes. Thomas made them moccasins in winter to keep their feet warm. The family did not take baths for months at a time. They wore the same dirty clothes every day.
The only light they had at night was from the fireplace. There were no books, newspapers, or mail to read. No pencils, pen, or paper to write on. The only thing they had for entertainment was in the telling of stories.
So what did Lincoln's mother do to earn a living, she had the job of survival.

The result of this battle convinced Lincoln that the time had come to end slavery in the South?
Asked by Wiki User
The narrow Union victory at Antietam Creek, Maryland gave Lincoln the opportunity to issue his Emancipation Proclamation. With the victory it would not appear to the public to be a desperate war measure to stave of defeat by making the war a moral crusade. Lincoln had already written the draft of the proclamation some months before and he did not need "convincing" that it was the right thing to do.
