how did lincoln's assassination effect the south?
343553
Lincoln would have forgiven the South and let them back in the Union with enough for sight to heal the wounds of a fractured country. Andrew Johnson wanted the same but not enough of Lincolns power or influence to carry it through. Because Lincoln was assassinated bitterness and unforgiveness prevailed even to this day.

Lincoln was forced into War, as he said \n"I have an oath sworn in heaven to preserve protect and defend the constitution"  The South claimed that each state had rights above what the federal govt in Washington could tell them. The North claimed that without strong central govt there could be an anarchy of each state doing as it pleased and laws with no power as soon as you crossed a state line. That's why Lincolns Gettysburg address is so famous it outlines the good of Govt, of, for and by the people, and how the common good must sometimes super cede the wants of some of the people\nIf Bush was President when the South Shelled Fort Sumter I guess he would have declared war on Venezuela\n\nWilson try as he might could not avoid the war to end all wars\nGermany's aggression, the sinking of American shipping and the British Lusitania with 130 Americans on board as example, pushed the U.S. out of its state of neutrality.  This was a war of Treaties and Allies with a domino affect.  One country joining on one side causing another country to join the other.  The U.S benefited greatly Europe was war ravaged many of its economies devastated, while the US was virtually untouched and actually profited greatly from the war.  Its consequence was the first try at World cooperation called the League on Nations.\nBush Would of loved this War because of the patriotic fervor that carried the US thru its short involvement and the huge profits made by big Bizzness, but would have disliked the cooperation for world peace\n\nWWII has an interesting turnaround Japan was a country seeking natural resources for its empire via military conquest and force.  The US rightfully was trying to prevent this violent expansion They attacked Pearl Harbor because the deemed the US a clear and present danger to their interests.  FDR could see and knew right where to find the Nazis and imperial Japan he knew that both these forces were a danger but the people of the US didnt want to get involved.  He could only offer aid and arms to the allies before pearl harbor.  Its amazin that so many people dont know that WW2 started 2 years before Dec 7th 1941.  FDR was a brilliant man who kept brilliant men around him despite their differences\nBush would have handled this like he handled Katrina installing political hacks to positions of power, underestimating underplanning, misjudging misleading and then spinning the results.\n\nLincoln was truly a Godsend, an actual miracle, in that he was the exact right man at the right time to save democracy liberty and our country.\nWilson was a brilliant and very competant man with a vision for world its future and the future of peace and liberty\nFDR - Smart well, supported, and with a compassion that only a man who suffered as he did (his handicap and the bad health that he suffered)  Managed us through a WW and a great depression\nBush !\nWas given the gift of the downfall of communism, no more cold war.  A surpluss in the treasury, a strong economy, peace and prosperity for 10 years previous to his taking office.\n1.He has doubled our debt over (8 trillion and skyrocketing)\n2.Devided our country along political lines the worst it ever has\n3.Ignored social problems, Education - No child left behind failed and never revisited, a crisis in health care costs, \nSocial Security??? I guess its good hes to lazy to take another crack at that\n4. He claims that hes making us safer even tho our own US intelligance in report let us know how his polocies are actually having the reverse affects.  Hes alienated us from allies, if he was smart there would be Muslims catching Muslim terrorists.  Put us at War where Terrorists werent.  And made us less safe at home,4000 less Cops and Firemen work in NYC then did on 9/11 because of Federal budget cuts\n5. He attacks the enviorment, has secret energy polocies\ngas hits 3 bucks a gallon and Exxon pays its top execshuge bonuses\nI could go on and on how this man with no acomplis

It led to the end of the Civil War by forcing the industrial might of the north to be aligned against the seccessionists.  It was the provocation needed to bring the south back into the union fold.  Without Sumter, the seccession would've continued for a longer period than the four or five years that it did.\n\nYah, i get the 10 points, everyone else commented how it started the war, and not how it led to the end of the war.

Lincoln asked them to abolish slavery. The Southern Sates did not agree as that would mean losing their entire workforce which worked in their plantations and farms and were the source of their wealth and economy.\n\nFaced with no choice, the Southern States left, what followed was the Civil War.

Thus Always to Tyrants\n\nJohn Wilkes Booth was said to have uttered, "Sic Semper Tyranus.  The South is Avenged" after he murdered Lincoln.

My understanding was that the election directly caused the start of secession of states in the South from the union since Lincoln was known for his stand on slavery. The crisis was already at a boiling point by that time already due to non-handling/concessions on slavery of previous administrations.

The North was able to move their troops around fairly rapidly with the railroad's help.  The South was not able to reallly use rail service to much advantage.  Because of the lay of the land (mountains), much of the rail service in the South ran north and south.  If the War had taken place earlier the South would not have had this as a disavantage.\n\n\nThe South was at a disavantage by the North's manufacturing capacity at the time of the War.  If the North's manufacturing capacity hadn't had been as developed, the South would not have been at such a disavantage. . .if the War had taken place earlier.  \n\nI think slavery was a disavantage to the South during the Civil War and it would have remained so if the War had taken place earlier. \n\nSo.  If the war had taken place earlier, the results could have been different.  However, Lincoln's resolve would have had him just as steadfast.  Likely the end result would have been the same.  But if England or France had joined the Southern cause, the end result may have been different.  But it really is hard to tell if the South could have ever mustered the support of either country.

While the immediate effect of the Missouri Compromise was to continue to equality between slave and free states in the Senate (Missouri and Maine), it reserved a vast majority of the area of the Louisiana Purchase into territories where slavery would be barred by federal law, and set the precedent of the northern access of slavery being on a designated parallel. This would have tremendous consequences because of the growing paranoia of slave-holding gentry in the South.\n\nWhen the slave-holding power in the South realized the actual consequences of the agreement, there would be a growing movement to not only marginalize federal power but to then force the acceptance of slavery as an institution into the psyche of people in the North. This would be seen in the Kansas - Nebraska act, in the Fugitive Slave Law, in the Compromise of 1850, etc. Slavery would go from the "Peculiar Institution," (an odd lifestyle but far away and not our business) to a forced acceptance (people in free states are forced through their taxes and law enforcement to help maintain slavery).\n\nThe people in the North had been led to believe that the problem was solved by the Southern acceptance of the Missouri Compromise, then they found they had been lied to and the problem began to get worse.

Andrew Johnson was a Democrat, the congress was mostly Republican and the two did not get along well at all.\n\nLincoln (before he was shot) planned on letting the south back into the Union without too much trouble.  He wanted to get the country back to normal quickly and put the civil was behind them.  After Lincolns assasination, Johnson tried to carry on Lincoln's plan (presidential reconstruction).\n\nHowever, the congress had a different idea.  They wanted to make the south PAY for what they had done.  They wanted revenge.  Congress wanted to have control over how the south was readmitted to the union, not the president.\n\nWhen push came to shuv, congress won out.  Andrew Johnson was the first president (out of only two in US history) to be impeached.  However, he was not removed from office, he came only a few votes shy.  He was not a very popular president.\n\nCongress took over the task of reconstruction, imposing hash punishments and set lots of requirements for the south.  Congress sent down troups into the south and installed a proUnion government.  This was known as radical reconstruction.

The Battle of Franklin- it broke the back of the Confederacy and allowed the Union to gain the upper hand and concerted on one front.\n\nThe reelection of Lincoln- If he had not been reelected General McClellan would have sued for peace.\n\nThe Battle of Five Forks it allowed Petersburg to fall and made Lee leave the trenches.\n\nThe failure of France and England to intercede on behalf of the South, like Iraqi the wealthiest 10 % of the population cause and keep the war going, the South were winning to give up slavery but not with someone demanding it.\n\nThe technology advancements such as the submarine, rifled muskets, balloonist, telegraph which coincides with the loss of manpower in the South forcing after the War innovations to improve labor.\n\nGod Bless You and The Southern People.

Helping you out with your homework huh?  Well I will not make it 4 or five sentences long but will give you something to think about.  \nThe impact it has on the American history is it started the rebellion against taxation and the mother country.  The second thing is that Americans decided to govern themselves and form a new government.  It also lead to no one ruler will govern America, judicial system, legislative branch and the executive branch.  It lead to a revolt and to the rights of our civil liberties.
