How does davis and lincoln compare as presidents

History
1 answer:
vichka [17]3 years ago
4 0

Both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis had to deal with contentious congresses with often clashing interests and agendas. In Davis’ case the discord was intrinsic in the very “States’ Rights” concept behind the Confederacy, though in practice Lincoln had plenty of cat herding of his own to do. Lincoln was arguably the more successful president in having better political instincts, which became more evident as he grew into his presidency—a talent for knowing when and how to cajole, horse-trade, bribe outright or ruthlessly assert his power, depending on who he was dealing with.

The dred scott decision
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The Dred Scott decision was the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on March 6, 1857, that having lived in a free state and territory did not entitle an slaved person, Dred Scott, to his freedom. In essence, the decision argued that, as someone's property, Scott was not a citizen and could not sue in a federal court. The majority opinion by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney also stated that Congress had no power to exclude slavery from the territories (thus invalidating the Missouri Compromise [1820]) and that African Americans could never become U.S. citizens.

How would the Soviet unions military strength have affected how the world thought about the Soviet Union?
Allisa [31]

The military strength of the Soviet Union was remarkable. The Soviet Union played a large role during World War II, helping the Allies win the war. Such military strength meant that other regions became more concerned about the capabilities of the nation.

Several other countries began to worry about the possibility of the Soviet Union spreading the ideas of communism all over the world. They were also concerned about the possibility of the country attacking those who refused to follow their ideals. The Soviet Union was also a source of concern because it was known that they had access to nuclear weapons. These elements meant that many countries in the world (particularly the United States) began to think of the Soviet Union more as a more dangerous and threatening menace, and less as an ally.
