Explain Senator Stephen Douglas’ attempts at securing a bid for the Presidency

History

leva [86]3 years ago
6 0

Stephen Douglass was a Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate in 1858. Douglas defeated Abraham Lincoln to obtain his Senate seat. He was a supporter of the idea of popular sovereignty, the belief that the settlers in newly admitted territories should determine whether the area would be slave or free. Douglass received the Democratic nomination for president in 1860. Douglass support of popular sovereignty led to the splintering of the Democratic Party into Northern and Southern factions. Northerners opposed secession while Southerners supported it. The splintering of the party led to their defeat and the election of the Republican Abraham Lincoln in 1860.

How did successful military campaigns lead to the creation of independent nations in south america?
djyliett [7]

The Spanish king ordered officials to look into the system of forced labor and eventually abolished it. This is how military campaigns were led to creation of independent nations in South America.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The people in Latin America distrusted and feared one another after dissatisfaction with Spanish rule. Sometimes they worked together against the Spanish. But once independence was achieved, the creoles, who had led the revolts, dominated the governments.

The process of independence of the South American countries has more to do with the American Independence and the defeat of the British, as well as the French revolution and the Napoleonic wars. The culture and outlook of the people was inspired from European conquerors and immigrants. The majorities of South Americans speak Portuguese or Spanish and follow Western traditions.

The widespread revolutionary ideals ensuing from these important changes in European political board made locals settlers and non-whites question their allegiance to metropolitan authority, as well as the elite, who were tired of trade restrictions.
