Ok, so the abolitionist movement had been building up steam for quite a while. Of course, this was happening up north with people that didn’t have a financial stake in slavery; it was easy for them to give up that which didn’t benefit them directly. Which meant it was also a fantastic rallying cry. It benefited from being morally good and could be used to paint the other side as bad. Again, wrong and wrong in historical context were two different things.

Also, this either was or became a position that Lincoln felt strongly about. I would be surprised if photography didn’t play a role in bringing about emancipation. As the world modernized, things like the cotton gin and steam engine/railroad heralded in very different times; slavery didn’t have a place anymore.

Answer:

Lincoln wanted to end slavery mostly in order to punish the South in for succeeding from the union. While Lincoln was always against slavery as a whole, he wasn't actually going to end it because of how critical it was to the south's economy. Prior to the election, several southern states had already voted to leave the Union if Lincoln was elected president. Therefore, they left and the Union won in a decisive but costly victory. After the war, Lincoln was able to ban slavery altogether in the new era of reconstruction.

Why did american farmers prefer to sell to the british?
max2010maxim [7]

<span>The British, unlike the Colonists, paid with gold coins, instead of bills, as was customary in the colonies. The American colonists used both the English, Spanish and French coins during the time they were British Colony, but when the War of Independence was about to begin, the Continental Congress financed the coming war, creating the new money American, called Continental Currency. <span>The problem came later, when the devaluation of this currency was so great, that it became synonymous with "lack of value".</span></span>

What was the intended purpose of FDR's court packing plan?
Brums [2.3K]

Explanation:

After winning the 1936 presidential election in a landslide, Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed a bill to expand the membership of the Supreme Court. The law would have added one justice to the Court for each justice over the age of 70, with a maximum of six additional justices. Roosevelt’s motive was clear – to shape the ideological balance of the Court so that it would cease striking down his New Deal legislation. As a result, the plan was widely and vehemently criticized. The law was never enacted by Congress, and Roosevelt lost a great deal of political support for having proposed it. Shortly after the president made the plan public, however, the Court upheld several government regulations of the type it had formerly found unconstitutional. In National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation, for example, the Court upheld the right of the federal government to regulate labor-management relations pursuant to the National Labor Relations Act of 1935. Many have attributed this and similar decisions to a politically motivated change of heart on the part of Justice Owen Roberts, often referred to as “the switch in time that saved nine.” Some legal scholars have rejected this narrative, however, asserting that Roberts' 1937 decisions were not motivated by Roosevelt's proposal and can instead be reconciled with his prior jurisprudence.
