How did the presidential election of 1860 help lead to the civil war?

History

MrRa [10]3 years ago

The election of 1860 is what you would've said was the last straw for the south. For even though Lincoln wasn't put on the ballot anywhere in the south they had more than 1 man running so even though most of the south voted Breckenridge thou but for Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri and Breckenridge would have won with those four states. So feeling threatened about the newly elected Lincoln right after that south Carolina seceded in December 1860 followed by the 6 others and later to be 11 states. so even though there was many things leading up the CSA the election of 1860 was the straw that broke the camels back and Lincolns becoming president is what caused south Carolina to seceded. Hope this helps and if you have anymore projects let me know cause I find this fun doing civil war projects

Did the Americans want war with England in 1764? What makes you think so
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The Americans, the majority of the colonists, didn't want war but, a peaceful separation and the formation of a new country.  Tensions and the British's reluctance towards this idea was which drove the colonists to war.

Explanation:

In 1765, tensions escalated with the Stamp Act which imposed more suffocating British rule over the already fed up colonists. In 1764, Parliament enacted the Sugar Act, an attempt to raise revenue in the colonies through a tax on molasses. Although this tax had been on the books since the 1730s, smuggling and laxity of enforcement had blunted its sting. Now, however, the tax was to be enforced. An outcry arose from those affected, and colonists implemented several effective protest measures that centered around boycotting British goods. Then in 1765, Parliament enacted the Stamp Act, which placed taxes on paper, playing cards, and every legal document created in the colonies. Since this tax affected virtually everyone and extended British taxes to domestically produced and consumed goods, the reaction in the colonies was pervasive. The Stamp Act crisis was the first of many that would occur over the next decade and a half.
