The southern states reacted negatively to the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. They were shocked and protested against Abraham Lincoln's election because they were not in favor of his propaganda to free the slave states (which mostly were in the Southern parts).
The role of pawnbrokers in the middle ages is : Making loans in exchange for property
So basically if the people in that period need some sort of fund, they can get it with the exchange of their valuable personal property (such as expensive arts, antiques, or gem stones)

There were a few causes that led to the American declaration of war against the British in 1812. At this time Britain was at war with France and attempted to cut off trade between the US and France. Additionally at sea the British were impressing US seamen or forcing them to become part of the British Royal Navy. Another cause of the war was that the British were helping to arm Native Americans to prevent American expansion westward. As a result of these forces the U.S. eventually went to war with Great Britain.
