hehehhe time for my civil war obsession to come in handy

Lincoln needed to announce it right after a big win for the Union. Antietam happened to be a well timed one.

Doing it after a big victory would help reinforce the fact that he was doing the right thing in the war, and that he was a good leader (good enough to be re-elected).

Announcing it right after a loss would be viewed as a weak, desperate move, and Lincoln couldn't afford that if he was to be running again for president.

How was Flordia obtained by Britain? ​
alex41 [277]

Hi! Florida was obtained by Britain by treaty with Spain after victory in war. In 1762, during the Seven Years' War, a British expedition attacked and occupied Havana, the capital of Cuba. To secure the return of this valuable city, Spain agreed to cede its territory of La Florida to the victorious Great Britain under the 1763 Treaty of Paris. I hope this helps you! Good luck and have a great day/night. ❤️✨
