<span>In September 1814, an impressive American naval victory on Lake Champlain forced invading British forces back into Canada and led to the conclusion of peace negotiations in Ghent, Belgium. Although the peace agreement was signed on December 24, word did not reach the British forces assailing the Gulf coast in time to halt a major attack.On January 8, 1815, the British marched against New Orleans, hoping that by capturing the city they could separate Louisiana from the rest of the United States. Pirate Jean Lafitte, however, had warned the Americans of the attack, and the arriving British found militiamen under General Andrew Jackson strongly entrenched at the Rodriquez Canal. In two separate assaults, the 7,500 British soldiers under Sir Edward Pakenham were unable to penetrate the U.S. defenses, and Jackson’s 4,500 troops, many of them expert marksmen from Kentucky and Tennessee, decimated the British lines. In half an hour, the British had retreated, General Pakenham was dead, and nearly 2,000 of his men were killed, wounded, or missing. U.S. forces suffered only eight killed and 13 wounded.Although the battle had no bearing on the outcome of the war, Jackson’s overwhelming victory elevated national pride, which had suffered a number of setbacks during the War of 1812. The Battle of New Orleans was also the last armed engagement between the United States and Britain.

Tough question to answer.
Explanation:
This is a tough question to answer. Although it is in the Senate's constitutional right to conduct an impeachment trial, the Constitution states an an impeachment is only for a sitting US president and does not have much guidance for a non-sitting US president. As of now, Donald Trump is a private citizen and therefore the impeachment may not directly effect him in the same way as a sitting US president. However, an impeachment where he is found guilty will disallow him from running for office again in the future.
Although there are many arguments and opinions to this particular subject, the current impeachment seems to be more politically motivated than actually needed.
Lincoln presided over the Union victory in the American Civil War, which dominated his presidency. ... A former Whig, Lincoln ran on a political platform opposed to the expansion of slavery in the territories. His election served as the immediate impetus for the outbreak of the American Civil War.

Particularly in the southern colonies, education tended to be reserved for the gentry and upper-class people (plantation owners mainly). Slaves were not educated; in fact, it was illegal to teach slaves to read or write. This stemmed from the fact that a large portion of education involved the Bible, slaves who read the Bible could be expected to convert to Christianity, and Christians are forbidden to enslave one another by their religion. Significant social and economic inequality persisted in the South well into the 20th century.
