Lincoln Slavery was first seen, was when he was hired to carry the cargo transport ship bound for New Orleans in 1828. Then, when he visited the city for the second time, he vowed to himself that he must remove the practice of slavery.
Lincoln did not follow such education in general, but he was keen to learn reading and writing to successfully become a lawyer. Although sometimes he is regarded as a 'gay' by the neighbors because behavior and way of dresses, but he was flexible enough to local people. This is simply because he has an outstanding sense of humor and always make others happy. First fell in love with a woman named Anne Rutledge, a neighbor child innkeeper where he lived. Anne's father was the one who suggested that Lincoln entered politics.
At the beginning of his career, Lincoln was elected to Parliament for the area of Illinois in 1834. Then re-elected in 1838 and 1840. At that time, he met a man named Stephen Douglas, who later become rivals both in terms of love and political affairs. Mary Todd, the woman who they fighting, came from Kentucky, chose Lincoln as husband, but they are not happy pernikahn. In 1842, after a year of their marriage, Lincoln opened a firm with a friend named William H. Herndon. Friendship these two men apparently persisted until the end of Life of Lincoln. In later days, Herndon was the one who wrote a biography of Abraham Lincoln.
In 1846, Lincoln was elected to Congress. However membership is not renewed because he was proposing legislation to end slavery in the District of Columbia. Disappointed, he returned to enable his firm. He stopped his political activities for some time, but then he is better known by the public as an honest lawyer.
In fact, Lincoln could not stop for too long from the political world. In 1854, the issue of slavery made him jump back into politics. Taampaknya he had to compete with Stephen Douglas, who tried to subdue the South Americans who supported slavery, while the North opposed it. Lincoln did not expect that half of the country maintained the practice of slavery as opposed to half-brother of fellow countrymen. He was thinking, no nation may consist of half slave half instead. However, Lincoln was hit in the first round against Douglas, in getting the U.S. Senate seat.
Although this time he lost, in May 1860, Lincoln was elected as a Republican presidential candidate. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party all-out attack, and they call it a 'lawyer beans', 'incompetent to speak English' and so forth. But ultimately, he was elected President of the United States. Four days after he became President, Southern states were out of the Federation of American States. Southern states were later formed a confederacy itself. Lincoln felt sad for him, and tried to seek an end to the separation. However, the conflict between North and South was even more heightened and became the Civil War. Lincoln continues to try to stop the conflict despite his best to no avail.
To understand the political background of the American Civil War, have described how the origin of America was formed. In the 17th century, migrants from the British, French, Spanish, Dutch and Germans came to North America, which they regard as a new uninhabited land they found. They came in search of prosperity, freedom of religion, as well as to expand the power of their home country and build a new empire. UK and then apply its laws there, so that new land they called New England. After the war of American independence, free territories were then formed a federation, which they call the United States. Each new federation was agreed to keep taking care of their own government, although they also have to deal with common interests. Because, things like Defense remains a common affair.
The southern part of the American who joined the federation, developing their agricultural workers who depend on slavery. The northern part more dependent on trade and industry, although agriculture remains important regard. Because there was no slavery in the north. Meanwhile, the issue of slavery became a hot issue for the new region to join the United, while the people in these states have not fully prepared with the issue of slavery. Meanwhile, American laws declared all men are equally entitled to the 'life and liberty to gain happiness', but also protects private property rights. Slaves are private. Opinion that the slave is private property are contrary to other opinions that the slave is Man who also owns the rights to independence. This is the basic problem for people all over the U.S. territory.
Actually, many aspects that can be seen from this issue. First, what is an enslaved human too right? Today, slavery is not justified in many other countries around the world. Everyone agrees that clearly is not justified to curb the freedom of others. But the southern people have been spending a lot of money to purchase slaves. Social life, economic, political and they walked on the basis of ownership of slaves. So, really not difficult to understand how important the practice of slavery for them.
There is also a political side in slave ownership problems for countries in the South. How to run a 'Union States' when some of the region consists of the 'people-free' while others are 'slaves'? Although, this is a desirable competitor Lincoln, Douglas. Clearly, countries in the South worry if more and more territory Federation of the 'so-free', then slavery would be abolished completely. They think if this happens, they will go bankrupt, both socially and politically. The only solution may have to form two separate federal. But even this proved impossible.
Shortly after Lincoln was elected President, the South withdrew from the federation. On April 12, 1861, the South attacked the North in the town of Fort Sunter. Civil War or the 'war between the states federation' has begun.
There are great differences between North and South. In the northern area of skin more white population. They are more advanced in the field of production of goods while the South is better in agriculture. In many cases, exceed the North South, Southern military although very skilled, real war occurs more frequently in the South. Although they are better in terms of fighting. War is not easy for them to win. As we know, after several assaults, the North won the war. As the war progresses, Lincoln, still urged the holding of another election at the end of the period he served as President, and it turns out he was re-elected for another term.
In November 1863, in the battle of Gettysburg, Lincoln delivered a speech, which is remembered throughout history. He said "... was born a new nation, founded on freedom that upholds the recognition that all men are created equal." The words of Lincoln at Gettysburg gives two principles of freedom and equality - which is the basis of the American establishment.
Lincoln died in a way that unexpected. We are witnessing the theater with his wife, he was shot by a fellow named John Wilkes Booth. Pick her death, when peace has come to America. Maybe it is the culmination of events that must occur as tumbal end slavery in America. After his death, Lincoln was known as a great man, and the ideals that have been established to uphold continue to be maintained by all Americans.
