Hamilton participated in the formation of the US as a Federation, so we are talking about the first US Senate.
A very distinctive feature is transparency. At that first moment, the meetings were secret, there was no permission from spectators and for a long time did not even have the publication of minutes. Today, with Democracy consolidated, there is transparency. Everything that happens in the Senate is documented and transmitted to society through official media and the press.
In addition, the role of the vice president of the republic should be emphasized. In that Senate, the vice president had the power to command the Senate. Today, the vice president only fulfills his missions in executive power, while the president of the Senate is chosen by a vote among the senators.
Everything from California to Alaska and between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean was a British-held territory called Oregon. The trail pointed the way for the United States to expand westward to achieve what politicians of the day called its “Manifest Destiny” to reach “from sea to shining sea.”
Nationalism serves as a uniting force. The recent World Cup united each country, where people came together as aspirants for their team and, ultimately, their country. These fans were united in cheering for their players and equally united in recovering from defeat. This illustrates the spirit of national identity. By taking a strong sense of who we are, dishonor and fright become foreign concepts. We developed to be bold and confident, sometimes overly so. We become so occupied in our views that we drown in circumstances of opposition. We cross the boundaries to defame others in the name of unity. Unfortunately, that is where unity is no longer present, and the individual is singled out. Mistreating a national identity as superior is not appropriate. Although we are citizens of whatever country, everybody is a citizen of this one planet called Earth.
Answer:
Both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis had to deal with contentious congresses with often clashing interests and agendas. In Davis’ case the discord was intrinsic in the very “States’ Rights” concept behind the Confederacy, though in practice Lincoln had plenty of cat herding of his own to do. Lincoln was arguably the more successful president in having better political instincts, which became more evident as he grew into his presidency—a talent for knowing when and how to cajole, horse-trade, bribe outright or ruthlessly assert his power, depending on who he was dealing with. For all the thinking on his feet that he did, however, Lincoln never lost sight of his principal goal, and in 1864 he ultimately found generals who shared the Commander-in-Chief’s intent. Davis was less adept at this, often letting his generals do the strategizing for him (after Robert E. Lee’s stunning success in the Seven Days Campaign, it was hard for Davis to argue when Marse Robert proposed taking the fight north into Yankee territory). Davis’ judgment in picking senior generals in the critical Western theater of operations (Braxton Bragg, then Joseph E. Johnston, followed by John Bell Hood) also speaks for itself; Lincoln’s worst choices in the East were finally behind him by the time he turned to Ulysses S. Grant in March 1864.
