How did President Lincoln's assassination affect the nation

4 0

Lincoln was the first U.S. president to be assassinated. Thus, his death was a test for the country and the strength of its constitutional plan of succession. Some countries noted this fact, and their acknowledgement of Andrew Johnson’s presidency demonstrated that his government was viewed as legitimate in the eyes of the world community. The response from China, for example, embodied both regret and reassurance that the transfer of power was perceived as smooth. Prince Kung, Chief Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, wrote on July 8, 1865, that the announcement of Lincoln’s death “inexpressibly shocked and startled me.” Nevertheless, the news that “on the same day the Vice-President succeeded to the position without any disturbance, and the assassin had been arrested, so that the affairs of government were going on quietly as usual” seemed to satisfy the Prince’s worry, and he hoped that these facts would also “alleviate your grief at the event.”

How did innovations in communication technology affect american women

Lemur [1.5K]

Hey there,

Women have been on the other side of the line since the telegraph was invented, and we served a significant role during the American Civil War and then in both WWl-WWll as well by providing this manual connection service.

Then, just around the 1960's when communication technology was starting to make us all feel a little bit closer to each other around town (or around the country) the working force behind all of it was mostly women.

These women would manually connect callers to each individual phone. So, that very famous saying "Operator, get me..." was really something people would say on their daily basis.

These innovations gave many of American women stable jobs around a growing technology that still continues to evolve.

He made sure that the people were thought of first, even throughout his presidency. This is also why Jefferson had a strict interpretations the constitution. The constitution was put in place to protect the rights of the citizens, and he wanted to follow those rules and protect those rights during his time in office. This is way he had such a hard time dealing with Alexander Hamilton, he believed in a strong federal government and had a loose interpretation of the constitution.
