Congress and the Emergence of Sectionalism: From the Missouri Compromise to the Age of Jackson
ISBN: 9780821417836 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 293 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1815 the United States was a proud and confident nation. Its second war with England had come to a successful conclusion, and Americans seemed united as never before.

When Lincoln took office, in March 1861, the national government had no power to touch slavery in the states where it existed. Lincoln understood this, and said as much in his first inaugural address, noting: I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. How, then, asks Paul Finkelman in the introduction to "Lincoln, Congress, and Emancipation, " did Lincoln who personally hated slavery lead the nation through the Civil War to January 1865, when Congress passed the constitutional amendment that ended slavery...
