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.

Both R<span>epublicanism and progressiveness believe in the right to Liberty, Freedom and Free Speech.

Both believe in the power of democracy and government by the people. However, both have actually meant different things in different times.

An example is the deep-seated patriotism of Republicanism and the American exceptionalism. On the other hand progressiveness believe in equality among people from all nations and actually support migrations.

Why was control of Texas important to both confederacy and the union? Which side controlled Texas during the Civil War?
serg [7]

Texas declared its secession from the Union on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861, after it replaced its governor, Sam Houston, when he refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. As with those of other States, the Declaration was not recognized by the United States government at Washington. Some Texan military units fought in the Civil War east of the Mississippi River, but Texas was most useful for supplying soldiers and horses for Confederate forces. Texas' supply role lasted until mid-1863, after which time Union gunboats controlled the Mississippi River, making large transfers of men, horses or cattle impossible. Some cotton was sold in Mexico, but most of the crop became useless because of the Union naval blockade of Galveston, Houston, and other ports.
