Let's think about this.  What would HURT Lincoln's chances of winning?  If Douglas supported Lincoln, his votes would go to Lincoln, HELPING him. (A is wrong).  If the Constitutional Union supported Lincoln, THEIR votes would go to him and also help (B is wrong).

But at this point, the Democratic party was split over the issue of slavery, leading to the Southern Democratic party.  If the parties were still united, they probably would have been able to overpower the Republicans. C is correct!

Answer: C. the democratic parties staying together rather than splitting.

What factor explained Florida’s six-year wait to have its request for statehood approved?
Temka [501]

Florida took time in becoming a state because it faced the same dilemma as Missouri as it entered the Union.  They had to wait for a certain period of time to ensure that the balance between Free State and slave remains intact.  They became a state when Iowa was admitted into the Union which was a free state thereby maintaining the balance.

What law designated how slaves were to be counted for representation and taxation
hoa [83]
The 3/5ths compromise was the law that designated how slaves were to be treated and represented. Previously an African American was counted as only 3/5ths of a person, hence the name of the compromise.

Answer: The Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 freed African Americans in rebel states, and after the Civil War, the Thirteenth Amendment emancipated all U.S. slaves wherever they were. As a result, the mass of Southern blacks now faced the difficulty Northern blacks had confronted—that of a free people surrounded by many hostile whites. One freedman, Houston Hartsfield Holloway, wrote, “For we colored people did not know how to be free and the white people did not know how to have a free colored person about them.”

Even after the Emancipation Proclamation, two more years of war, service by African American troops, and the defeat of the Confederacy, the nation was still unprepared to deal with the question of full citizenship for its newly freed black population. The Reconstruction implemented by Congress, which lasted from 1866 to 1877, was aimed at reorganizing the Southern states after the Civil War, providing the means for readmitting them into the Union, and defining the means by which whites and blacks could live together in a nonslave society. The South, however, saw Reconstruction as a humiliating, even vengeful imposition and did not welcome it.

During the years after the war, black and white teachers from the North and South, missionary organizations, churches and schools worked tirelessly to give the emancipated population the opportunity to learn. Former slaves of every age took advantage of the opportunity to become literate. Grandfathers and their grandchildren sat together in classrooms seeking to obtain the tools of freedom.

After the Civil War, with the protection of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1866, African Americans enjoyed a period when they were allowed to vote, actively participate in the political process, acquire the land of former owners, seek their own employment, and use public accommodations. Opponents of this progress, however, soon rallied against the former slaves' freedom and began to find means for eroding the gains for which many had shed their blood.
