As respective presidents of the United States and the Confederate States of America, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis were diametrically opposed on the issues of states' rights in respect to secession. What this fundamentally meant was that Lincoln was unalterably opposed to, while Davis was fully in favor of, this right.<span>Secession is the formal withdrawal of a member state from an association or union. Several different states had threatened secession in the first decades of the history of the United States, but it was only with South Carolina's secession from the Union on December 20, 1860 that the possibility became a reality. Lincoln was completely against secession because, as mentioned in his House Divided Speech, "A house divided against itself cannot stand, I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free." Lincolns goal in this speech was to differentiate himself from Stephen Douglas by saying that the united states cannot exist divided, it must either be all slave or all free. Obviously Lincoln was pushing for all free, however he wanted a gradual emancipation of the slaves.</span>

Could slaves become citizens in Athens and Rome?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Yes they could have became citizens of Rome and Athens because the law changed sooner than later.

Explanation:

That law was relaxed as well as time went on; for example, children of freed slaves could apply to become citizens. Even if both parents were Roman citizens, children had no rights. Boys of Roman citizens went though a ceremony when they were 16 or 17, depending upon how close their birthday was to March 17th, and at that time became citizens of Rome with full benefits.
