Where was the worst confederate prison camp during the civil war?
None of them were good, but probably the most notorious camp the Confederates operated to imprison captured Yankees was at Andersonville, in southwest Georgia.Incidentally, more Confederates died in northern prison camps than Yankees died in southern ones. This was a result of northern vindictiveness and the deliberate withholding of food, clothing and medical care from Confederate prisoners. Not only more, but a bigger percentage of captured Confederates died. The Confederates could not even feed their own armies, but the north chose to deliberately starve captured soldiers as the just desserts for their wickedness, in the midst of a land of plenty. The north also deliberately went out of its way to locate camps for captured Confederates in the most unhealthy, exposed and cold places they could find - a peninsula jutting into Lake Erie at Sandusky, Ohio, an island in Boston Harbor, a low-lying half flooded island in the Delaware River, a malarial swamp at the end of a Maryland peninsula extending into Chesapeake Bay, and others. But Andersonville is the only one you'll ever hear about, and if you're asking for school its definitely the one your teacher expects.
Why were comfort and security so important to Americans in the 1950's?
Comfort and security were important during the 1950s because American was in the midst of the cold war and fear of an attack by communist was a big scare. Many school at the same would do drills in order to prepare for the events that could unfold.
What accomplishments of president Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln was a successful country lawyer in Illinois and also served the state as a captain in its militia, a legislator in its state government and represented the state in the United States House of Representatives. However, the most obvious achievement of Abraham Lincoln was being elected President of the United States of America in 1860. This established him as the first Republican president in American history. This victory was made even more significant as his election signaled the succession of southern states, soon to form the Confederate States of America and launch the nation into a bitter Civil War.One of the many issues involved in the war was the issue of slavery. During his tenure, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which didn't exactly end slavery, but it helped to change the character of the Civil War. Once the Civil War had ended upon the surrender of the Confederacy to the Union, slavery was formally abolished in the United States with the addition of the Thirteenth Amendment.Lincoln's leadership had helped to guide the nation through the greatest internal turmoil in its history and sustained the Union as a united body. In fact, in the midst of the chaos, he also helped to resolve international dilemmas, such as the Trent Affair in 1861, and managed his own reelection campaign in 1864-which he won.Although not an achievement of merit, Abraham Lincoln holds the solemn status of being the first American President to be assassinated in office. The assassination would lead to greater security precautions and measures for the nation's elected figures in the future. Somewhat ironically, the Secret Service was on the verge of creation at the time of Lincoln's death, although it was intended originally as an initiative to combat counterfeiting rather than protect presidents (that would only occur after the death of another president, William McKinley in 1901).His legacy continues and he has been named in countless political campaigns as an influence on the candidates' own views and political education most recently in Barack Obama's election as President of the United States in 2009. Comparisons had been made between the two men and their shared talent as orators and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is still taught to school children today.Other achievements of note:The President's recognizable image appears on the penny, the five dollar bill, the national landmark, Mt. Rushmore, and in his own memorial in Washington, D.C.In 1862, he signed the Homestead Act which opened millions of acres of government-owned land in the West available for purchaseLincoln oversaw the creation of the national bank system.He approved the Pacific Railway Acts of 1862 and 1864 paved the way for the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad.Lincoln remains the only person to ever both hold a patent and serve as President of the United States.The president made Thanksgiving a standardized national holiday in 1863. His own birthday, February 12, was observed as a holiday in 30 states before it was combined with George Washington's birthday and celebrated nationally as President's Day in 1971.
Who was first lady for the longest period?
Probably Eleanor Roosevelt. Her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only president to serve four terms. And while he died in the midst of his fourth, Eleanor was first lady throughout his first three terms (12 years) and several years into his fourth. It should be noted that no first lady will ever serve for that long again. In 1951, the constitution was amended so that presidents may not serve more than two terms.
