Answer:

During the War of 1812, the British were urged to attack the former colonies after American troops attacked Canada and burned government buildings.

Georgia,

British artist Thomas Addison Richards painted River Plantation (1855-60) from sketches made in Georgia during his travels through the South in the 1840s. Oil on canvas (20 1/4" x 30").

River Plantation

uniquely situated among southern states on the eve of the Civil War (1861-65), played a vital part in the formation of the Confederacy. A geographic lynchpin that linked Atlantic seaboard and Deep South states, the "Empire State" was the second-largest state in area east of the Mississippi River (Virginia was larger until West Virginia broke away in 1861), and the second-largest Deep South state (only Texas was larger). In population, slave and free, Georgia was the largest in the Deep South. Both geographically and demographically, Georgia encompassed as much diversity as any other Confederate state, and these factors had an important impact on how the state experienced the war years and what it contributed to the Southern war effort.

Was Abraham Lincoln’s views on race reflective of his morals or were they utilized for political gain?
Montano1993 [528]

Lincoln was firm politically in proposing that slavery is morally wrong but he was not an abolitionist himself.

Explanation:

His views regarding the racial equality were always tending to be controversial and complicated. There had been a situation wherein Lincoln admitted that constitution mandated certain clauses for abolition but he did not know what exactly need to be done to abolish slavery from the current political system.

Lincoln seemed to be working with abolitionists but did not count himself to be totally responsible to abolish slavery. Only with the emancipation he could win over the black’s votes.
