What was Lincoln's first priority during the civil war?
While Lincoln is known for ending slavery, he felt that it had to be eliminated in an orderly (not an abrupt) manner. When he became president, his first priority, in keeping with his oath of office, was to preserve the Union and defend the Constitution. But almost immediately, southern states were beginning to secede from the Union, as a result of the slavery issue. Lincoln had previously been willing to allow states that already had slavery to maintain it, but when secession began, he saw the urgency of bringing slavery to an end, so that the union could be preserved. And it was then that he began writing what became the Emancipation Proclamation.

How did sherman's win in atlanta affect the presidential election of 1864?
It was one of the Union victories that came just in time to revive Northern morale and save Lincoln from being voted out of office. Ironically, the capture of Atlanta was no part of Grant's strategy. It actually reflected Sherman's failure to destroy the Army of Tennessee. It was really a gesture that would make big headlines in the North.

Why have measures to save the European union not been initiated?
With the tight integration of the euro in the European Union, it is difficult for each nation to save their own economy without risking the well being of all other nations within the European Union. With the current instability, a collapse of the euro could lead to a situation similar to that of the Lehman brothers fallout. This leaves economists timid to apply any type of strong measures to save the EU.
