Although the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) had strong popular support when it passed both the House and the Senate in 1972, it failed to become a constitutional amendment because the feminist movement had made so many gains in eliminating gender discrimination.

Failure of Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)</h3>
- The feminist movement had achieved so much in the fight against sexism in areas like employment and education that it did not necessarily seem necessary for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to pass both the House and the Senate in 1972, despite the fact that it had strong public support at the time. As a result, the ERA did not become a constitutional amendment.
- The Equal Rights Amendment ultimately failed to be ratified by the required 38, or three-fourths, of the states by the deadline set by Congress because of a conservative backlash against feminism.
- Because a state's legislature must pass it through both houses in the same session in order for it to be considered ratified, it failed in those states.

The election of Abraham Lincoln split the United States tremendously. With the election of Lincoln, southerners feared that their way of life was in danger. They felt that Lincoln's election would eventual result in outlawing the institution of slavery.
This fear caused southern states to take dramatic action. Roughly one month after the election of Lincoln, South Carolina seceded (left) the United States. After South Carolina, states like Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi seceded as well. Ultimately the secession of states like this resulted in the creation of the Confederate States of America, which sets the scene for the Civil War.
