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.

louis brandeis in 1916. As per the link referenced above which the answerer DID NOT READ CAREFULLY, Judah Benjamin was never a justice. In 1853, President Millard Fillmore nominated Benjamin to become an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Elected the preceding year as one of Louisiana's two U.S. Senators, Benjamin declined the High Court nomination.

Many things were going on.  The United States was in a war with England in 1815 and that was the year that the U.S. beat England in the Battle of New Orleans helping to bring that war to an end. \n\nThe United States was also in a war with Dey of Algiers. This was known as the The Second Barbary War (1815, also known as the Algerian War) was the second of two wars fought between the United States of America and the semi-autonomous North African city-states of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, known collectively as the Barbary States. It brought to a conclusive end the American practice of paying tribute to the pirate states.  The U.S. Military leaders were Commodores Stephen Decatur, Jr. and William Bainbridge.\n\nEngland was again at war with Napoleon after his escape from Elba.  With the British (and their allies) winning the Battle of Waterloo Napoleon abdicates and is taken to the island of St. Helena.  Ionian Islands come under the Protectorate of Great Britain.  The Corn Law is passed in England to maintain the price of food stuffs.\n\nIn 1832 Andrew Jackson was reelected President of the United States.  The U.S. defeated the Sacs and Foxes in Black Hawk’s War.  The crisis caused by the Nullification Act in South Carolina (with a threat of secession) is averted.  \n\nIn England is the passage of the English reform Bill.  In short this bill readjusted the basis of parliamentary representation and extended suffrage.  \n\nA British fleet operates with Gerard in the reduction of Antwerp.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States.  He led the country during the Civil War and is generally given great credit for preserving the Union. He also signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in the rebelling Confederacy, although this was more of a political manuever than anything else.  He was assassinated shortly after the end of the war by an angry Southerner.  \n\nYou can find more information at the link I've provided below.

Here are lots of things that happened.  I don't think they are called current events when they happened thirty years ago though!

When Andrew Jackson ran for president in 1828, his opponents tried to label him a "jackass" for his populist views and his slogan, "Let the people rule." Jackson, however, picked up on their name calling and turned it to his own advantage by using the donkey on his campaign posters. During his presidency, the donkey was used to represent Jackson's stubbornness when he vetoed re-chartering the National Bank.\n\n \n\nThe first time the donkey was used in a political cartoon to represent the Democratic party, it was again in conjunction with Jackson. Although in 1837 Jackson was retired, he still thought of himself as the Party's leader and was shown trying to get the donkey to go where he wanted it to go. The cartoon was titled "A Modern Baalim and his Ass".

Much like G.W. Bush, Lincoln's election was a bit of a controversy. The South had in the past benefited from political division in the North but in this election the Democratic party (not the exact same as today's, but relatively similar) was split and thus Southern votes were split. Lincoln, a Republican (again, not the same as modern Republicans, but relatively similar), won because his opposition was not unified.

Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston on January 17, 1706. He was the tenth son of soap maker, Josiah Franklin. Benjamin's mother was Abiah Folger, the second wife of Josiah. In all, Josiah would father 17 children.\n\nJosiah intended for Benjamin to enter into the clergy. However, Josiah could only afford to send his son to school for one year and clergymen needed years of schooling. But, as young Benjamin loved to read he had him apprenticed to his brother James, who was a printer. After helping James compose pamphlets and set type which was grueling work, 12-year-old Benjamin would sell their products in the streets.\n\nApprentice Printer\nWhen Benjamin was 15 his brother started The New England Courant the first "newspaper" in Boston. Though there were two papers in the city before James's Courant, they only reprinted news from abroad. James's paper carried articles, opinion pieces written by James's friends, advertisements, and news of ship schedules.\n\nBenjamin wanted to write for the paper too, but he knew that James would never let him. After all, Benjamin was just a lowly apprentice. So Ben began writing letters at night and signing them with the name of a fictional widow, Silence Dogood. Dogood was filled with advice and very critical of the world around her, particularly concerning the issue of how women were treated. Ben would sneak the letters under the print shop door at night so no one knew who was writing the pieces. They were a smash hit, and everyone wanted to know who was the real "Silence Dogood."\n\nAfter 16 letters, Ben confessed that he had been writing the letters all along. While James's friends thought Ben was quite precocious and funny, James scolded his brother and was very jealous of the attention paid to him.\n\nBefore long the Franklins found themselves at odds with Boston's powerful Puritan preachers, the Mathers. Smallpox was a deadly disease in those times, and the Mathers supported inoculation; the Franklins' believed inoculation only made people sicker. And while most Bostonians agreed with the Franklins, they did not like the way James made fun of the clergy, during the debate. Ultimately, James was thrown in jail for his views, and Benjamin was left to run the paper for several issues.\n\nUpon release from jail, James was not grateful to Ben for keeping the paper going. Instead he kept harassing his younger brother and administering beatings from time to time. Ben could not take it and decided to run away in 1723.\n\nEscape to Philadelphia\n\nRunning away was illegal. In early America, people all had to have a place in society and runaways did not fit in anywhere. Regardless Ben took a boat to New York where he hoped to find work as a printer. He didn't, and walked across New Jersey, finally arriving in Philadelphia via a boat ride. After debarking, he used the last of his money to buy some rolls. He was wet, disheveled, and messy when his future wife, Deborah Read, saw him on that day, October, 6, 1723. She thought him odd-looking, never dreaming that seven years later they would be married.\n\nFranklin found work as an apprentice printer. He did so well that the governor of Pennsylvania promised to set him up in business for himself if young Franklin would just go to London to buy fonts and printing equipment. Franklin did go to London, but the governor reneged on his promise and Benjamin was forced to spend several months in England doing print work.\n\nBenjamin had been living with the Read family before he left for London. Deborah Read, the very same girl who had seen young Benjamin arrive in Philadelphia, started talking marriage, with the young printer. But Ben did not think he was ready. While he was gone, she married another man.\n\nUpon returning to Philadelphia, Franklin tried his hand at helping to run a shop, but soon went back to being a printer's helper. Franklin was a better printer than the man he was working for, so
