The majority of Americans wanted Lincoln to be president

What evidence supports this?


True
False

Answers

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

On November 6, 1860, voters in the United States went to the polls in an election that ended with Abraham Lincoln as President, in an act that led to the Civil War. But Lincoln’s victory didn’t happen on that day, and his victory wasn’t assured for months.

Lincoln was the candidate of the newly created Republican Party, which officially wanted to limit the expansion of slavery. The rival Democrats had split into two factions, with Stephen Douglas and John Breckinridge running against Lincoln, and another new party, the Constitutional Union Party, also fielding a candidate.

Lincoln was home in Springfield, Illinois, awaiting news of the national vote. He needed a majority of votes in the Electoral College to win the election. It was assumed he would have the most popular votes, because of the GOP’s strength in the North and West, but he was also guaranteed of not having a majority of the popular vote.

Based on warnings from southern states, it was expected that at least seven states would take steps to leave the Union if and when Lincoln was elected, and well before he was inaugurated as President in March 1861.

On the New York Times’ Disunion blog, Jamie Malanowski provided a detailed depiction of the scene in Springfield as news of the national votes rolled in.

Lincoln and his team huddled in a telegraph office waiting for the key results from New York and Pennsylvania.

“The advisers paced the floorboards, jumping at every eruption of the rapid clacking of Morse’s machine, while the nominee parked on the couch, seemingly at ease with either outcome awaiting him,” said Malanowski.

Shortly before 2 a.m., Lincoln’s election was confirmed in a telegram from New York. As the wild public celebrations started, Lincoln calmly walked home, told his wife he’d won the election, and he turned in for the evening.

As the votes were counted, Lincoln had about 40 percent of the popular vote and 180 electoral votes, compared with 133 for his opponents combined.

But the southern secession threats cast a pall over the upcoming Electoral College voting process: What if the southern states refused to take part in the Electoral College? Or what if a unified front to avoid secession could convince enough “faithless electors” to switch sides to derail the election?

Lincoln expert Howard Holzer detailed that problem in an essay for the Gilder Lehrman Institute.

“Lincoln and his inner circle worried that Democratic electors might yet unify around a single candidate—or worse, that Republicans, worried about secession, might themselves look for alternatives to Lincoln,” Holzer said. “In fact, several New York Republicans did suggest dumping Lincoln in order to save the Union.”

And what if the southern states boycotted the Electoral College?

“If these states did not participate in the traditional process, could the Electoral College proceed? What would constitute a quorum? No one, least of all Lincoln, knew the answers to these vexing questions,” said Holzer.

In the end, the southern states did take part in the Electoral College process, and Lincoln’s election was certified in Congress in February 1861. But there was a greater than normal military presence on Capitol Hill.

By the time Lincoln became President in March 1861, replacing the ineffective James Buchanan, seven southern states had left the Union – all before Lincoln’s election was certified on February 15, 1861 in Congress.

why was it important that literature was written in the everyday language than in latin

Answers

Answer:

It is important because not everyone in the world can understand Latin language. If literature was only written in Latin, and no one really spoke that language, literature would be something many avoided due to a lack of understanding. Having something in the everyday language of a place allows for more places to have a better understanding of something that they wouldn't have understood if the language wasn't one that a person had in their toolbox.

How did the Aryans influence Indian civilization?

Answers

Answer:

India was invaded around 1500 BCE by a group of people known as the Aryans.  They conquered the primary inhabitants of India, who were known as the Dayus. The Aryans were comprised of quite different physical and cultural features in contrast to the Dayus; the Aryans were a white race and the Dayus were a dark race. The primal Indians in the north believed in supreme gods and spirits and never believed in idolatry. The Aryans spoke a different language, worshipped different gods, and had different cultural practices. Their influence in India was prominent as the majority of Indians today speak and value the Indo-Aryan language and culture.

The Aryans had a rich culture that still influences India today. The Aryans were primarily warrior-nomadic people and their main source of wealth was cattle. However, after the migration into India there was a greater urgency to retain copper, iron ore, and minerals for profits. During this time, the head of the household gained respect primarily through trade, manufacturing, or farming. The Aryan society was patriarchal and much of the importance was placed on the male, therefore an abundance of Aryan gods were males. The women in the Aryan culture were usually housewives, and the women were said to be very skilled in weaving. In technological advancements, the Aryans were mostly interested in making chariots, tools and weapons and did not concentrate much efforts into building anything else. The Aryans annexed various tribes and communities on their journey towards India and were successful because they were nomadic people and their food supply of cattle was easy to transport. They had mastered the art of using horse-chariots for war and they also held great knowledge of heavy transportation using ox-carts. The male’s communal life consisted of sabha, “denoting both the tribal assembly and its mote hall”, which was for the males only, and featured gambling, fights, chariot races and female dancers. The Aryans had a simplistic culture; however, their language was influential and distinctive.

What do you know about John Wilkes Booth?

The original plan by Booth and his tiny band of conspirators was to abduct Lincoln and use him as a pawn in the Confederate cause. He, Vice President Andrew Johnson, and Secretary of State William H. Seward were all later determined to be killed.

Booth felt that the Civil War was still ongoing because the Army of Tennessee, led by General Joseph E. Johnston, continued to engage in combat despite the Army of Northern Virginia's general, General Robert E. Lee, having submitted to the Union Army four days previously.

Lincoln suffered a single headshot wound from Booth. The plot was complete when Lincoln passed away the following morning, according to Booth.
