Answer:

For the most part, states in the South reacted with anger to Lincoln's victory in the election of 1860.  

The major issue of the 1860 presidential election was slavery.  For Southerners, expanding slavery was the critical issue.  Slavery was so pressing that the Democratic party put forth two candidates.  One of them represented the Northern Democrats and the other candidate was for the interests of the Southern Democrats.  Southerners knew that Lincoln and the newly formed Republican party were not going to be friendly to the expansion of slavery in the nation.  

The high voter turnout reflected the voting public's passionate intensity regarding slavery.  Lincoln did not win any electoral votes in the South, but carried the electoral votes in the Northern states.  This helped to enhance the sectionalist feel to the election. Sectionalist feelings became more pronounced with Lincoln's election. Southerners openly embraced secession, or separating from the nation.  South Carolina was the first state to secede upon Lincoln's election, proclaiming "that the Union now subsisting between South Carolina and other states under the name of the 'United States of America' is hereby dissolved" with Lincoln's election in the Presidential Election of 1860.  

There were many reasons as to why Southern states separated from the nation.  Talk of secession was becoming more evident as the partisanship for and against slavery became more entrenched.  For Southern states, the election of Lincoln, though, became seen as a "last straw" and something that showed that compromise on slavery between North and South was impossible to achieve.

On January 1, 1808, the slave trade was banned in the U.S. which meant _____. Select the best answer from the choices provided.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

It sure wasn't D. They were slaves, bought and sold.

It didn't free the existing slaves in the United States. It made it illegal to import more people to be slaves.

The choice is between A and C.

I think you should pick C which was factually true and exactly what happened. In other words, the law was circumvented.

The problem with A is that it they were let in directly at the request of Georgia and South Carolina.  These two states had very complex responses to the Jan 1, 1808 law. Their economies depended on as many slaves as they could get legally or not.

Answer:

Fought eighteen days apart in the fall of 1777, the two Battles of Saratoga were a turning point in the American Revolution. On September 19th, British General John Burgoyne achieved a small, but costly victory over American forces led by Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold. Though his troop strength had been weakened, Burgoyne again attacked the Americans at Bemis Heights on October 7th, but this time was defeated and forced to retreat. He surrendered ten days later, and the American victory convinced the French government to formally recognize the colonist’s cause and enter the war as their ally.

On September 19, 1777, Burgoyne attacked. The fiery Arnold prodded Gates out of his defensive mentality, winning permission to lead Morgan’s men and Henry Dearborn’s light infantry into the woods to block a British flanking column. For most of the afternoon, a furious struggle raged around and across a clearing called Freeman’s Farm; Arnold poured in fresh regiments until the jittery Gates broke off the action, leaving the battered British in possession of the ground in what came to be known as the Battle of Freeman’s Farm.

Is this good?
