Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an American politician. He was the 16th President of the United States. He was president from 1861 to 1865, during the American Civil War. Just five days after most of the Confederate forces had surrendered and the war was ending, John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln. Lincoln was the first president of the United States to be assassinated. Lincoln has been remembered as the "Great Emancipator" because he worked to end slavery in the United States.[1]

Answer:

Lincoln was born into poverty in a log cabin and was raised on the frontier primarily in Indiana. He was self-educated and became a lawyer, Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator, and U.S. Congressman from Illinois. In 1849, he returned to his law practice but became vexed by the opening of additional lands to slavery as a result of the Kansas–Nebraska Act. He reentered politics in 1854, becoming a leader in the new Republican Party, and he reached a national audience in the 1858 debates against Stephen Douglas. Lincoln ran for President in 1860, sweeping the North in victory. Pro-slavery elements in the South equated his success with the North's rejection of their right to practice slavery, and southern states began seceding from the union. To secure its independence, the new Confederate States fired on Fort Sumter, a U.S. fort in the South, and Lincoln called up forces to suppress the rebellion and restore the Union.

How do the courts help to protect civil liberties and rights?
Umnica [9.8K]

<em>The Constitution states people’s rights and civil liberties but sometimes this rights are violated. Per example regarding discrimination matters; the right to vote; to have a house; to have education. In these cases a person can go to the court and they can sue the one who is violating their rights. Then the court can interfere in the situation against the government, business or the person that is violating your rights. The court can check if the law is being applied accordingly with the Constitution and can set measures to make your rights being applied using many legal tools as financial penalty, prohibitions or law adjustments.</em>
