Should There Be A Democratic President In The 1850's

The presidential election of 1860 set the stage for the American Civil war. By 1860, the nation had been divided mostly up to that point regarding questions of states’ rights and slavery in the territories. Southerners were outraged over the plan by abolitionist, John Brown, to start a slave rebellion at Harper Ferry, Virginia. This event garnered headlines all over the nation in newspapers and magazines. On the other hand, the Northern Republic seemed equally anger by the Supreme Court decision in the case of Dred Scott v. Stanford, which declared free soil unconstitutional. The Northern Democrats, however, struggled to persuade the Americans that their policy of popular sovereignty still made since.

Abraham Lincoln's victory alarmed many white southerners because this meant that their future was now in the hands of a political party that was primarily against their region's personal values and interests. The people that wanted the South to secede from the Union had their reasons to do so. They were worried that Lincoln's election might lead to future Republican administrations interfering with slavery in the states. In the Deep South, southerners feared that they might become a sticking minority in a nation that was overrun by their political opposites. With this in mind, they instead seceded from the Union and saved slavery within their states.

The election of 1860 and 2016 divided our country. There are some similarities and differences, but both elections had the same effect. Each point in time had problems, and each candidate had a different point of view on how to solve these problems. The people who are voting for our future president need to have some background information, so that’s what I’m going to give to you. Hopefully after reading this, you will be sure the person you’re voting for is right for the country.

Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign has come at a time after having a president serve for two terms. Americans are eager for change. Donald Trump promises to be the change to fix the nation’s concerns about foreign affairs, and immigration

Donald Trump should not be the president of the United states as he does not achieve anything being the president. You probably remember his courageous views on immigration and how he is going to build a wall to stop Mexican’s from coming into the country, but has he followed through with his promises. His main promise was to build a wall to prevent illegal immigration, yet he hasn’t to this day. He also promised that he would ban Muslim immigration to prevent terrorist actions, yet when he took the policy to court he failed to pass it and on top of all that he released a budget with a 2 trillion-dollar accounting error. This not the actions of a world leader, this is the actions of someone who has no idea what they are doing and why they are doing it. In his first 100 days, Donald Trump signed 29 laws. These laws proved to be inconsequential, as only 133 pages were written for these laws, whereas Obama passed only 14 laws in the same amount of time, he wrote 1602 pages to pass them. This again proves my point on the lack of

On November 8, 2016 the US election took place. The two front runners, the Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton and the Republican nominee, Donald Trump went neck to neck in the presidential race. On this frightening night, millions of people watched America’s worst nightmare unfold right in front of their own eyes. Donald J. Trump the islamophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, sexist, racist bigot defeated Hilary Clinton and became the 45th President of the United States of America. Donald Trump shouldn’t have even been nominated to run for president.

Presidential elections are an important aspect of U.S. history. This year is probably one of the more interesting ones since Donald Trump, an entertainer, is running for president even though he has no experience with politics. His campaign is widely criticized but he still holds a major lead from 30-40% depending on the state. Donald Trump should not be the President of United States at all, his views are bigoted, sexist and racist. Our president should not feel that he is superior to others and constantly degrade others for their race, religion, gender, etc. Not only are his views disgraceful but he has no past experience with politics,

The election of 1860 was one like no other, it was the event that lead to the succession of the eleven states that would become to be known as the Confederate States of America, including Texas. In the United States of America there was a lot of tension due to the different lifestyles of the North and the South, particularly those differences between the views in slavery. As we all know, the North was a very industrial and mechanics region, as for the South a very agricultural area that depended highly on their existence of slaves. In the Republican Party slavery was frowned upon. This was the main and ultimately most important reason for which the South did not want the republican candidate, Abraham Lincoln to rise to victory. As this election

On the other side of the aisle, we had a candidate that everyone either loved him, hated him, or thought “is this a joke?”. The candidate Trump was brash, unfiltered, unrelentless and did something that not many in our history have done. He gathered those with ideological values different from him. He angered or placed hope in the minds of voters that desperately needed and wanted a change.

Hillary proposes a stimulus package just like the one Barack Obama created. It has been shown that whatever effects the Obama stimulus had were too little to detect for any normal americans looking for better jobs. This has added to the U.S debt especially after Obama spent $800 billion, only difference is that Hillary wants to spend $275 billion. In addition, when it comes to jobs Hillary wants to increase the federal minimum wage because she believes that giving more money to consumers will allow them to spend it at their business and help U.S employers. All this idea/plan will do is destroy businesses by giving consumers more money to spend, and giving businesses less. She knows nothing when it comes to the nation’s economic problems. The National Review says, “Mrs. Clinton does not know very much about any business other than charging $10,000 (http://www.nationalreview.com/) (https://www.thestreet.com).

During her speech at Roosevelt island, Hillary Clinton used the logical fallacy known as “Straw Man” many times. In the “Straw Man” fallacy the orator builds up an opponent’s argument to be more fragile than it would be otherwise, Giving them a target to knock down. Hillary leveled numerous accusations against her opponents in the Republican party, saying that they have been cowed by wall street, that they “trip over themselves promising lower taxes for the wealthy and fewer rules for the biggest corporations”. While republicans would argue that they support entrepreneurs, Hillary casts them as only concerned with the upper class while caring nothing for middle and lower-class Americans. She says “They want to take away health insurance from

Hence, she takes a more moderate approach than others, but still a much more progressive stance than others. As it concerns the economy, Hillary is looking to give working families a raise by increasing minimum wage and also by giving tax relief to help them manage increasing costs (“Raise American Incomes” 1). She wants to create well paying jobs and stimulate an increase in pay rates by investing in infrastructure, clean energy and scientific and medical research to strengthen growth of the economy (“Raise American Incomes” 1). Perhaps most importantly, she wants to close corporate loop holes and make the wealthy pay their fair share (“Raise American Incomes”

This election is unique, and even if the choice may seem clear there are many people on the fence about who has the best fit to be our president. However, with Clinton leading in the polls, and for good reason, the American people may just be realizing that a reality television mogul has no business running for president of the United States. Even though some people may say that we could benefit from Trump’s background in business, that’s about the only thing that would work in our favor if he becomes president. Setting our nation back fifty years is not something that would benefit us but if we let Trump halt immigration, take away rights women have fought for so long and continue to say and do unbelievably ignorant things then we will only

Is making economy stronger than before. She wants to accomplish such goal through three factors: Strong Growth, Fair Growth, and Long-term Growth. Through strong growth she wants to cut taxes for hard-working families to increase their take-home pay as they face rising costs from child care, health care, and sending their kids to college(HC plans). Through fair growth she wants to strengthen overtime rules by raising minimum wage. Basically she has supported raising the federal minimum wage to $12, and believes that we should go further. With the long-term growth Hillary's comment was “It's time to push back against the forces of "quarterly capitalism" and boom and bust cycles on Wall Street”(HC plans). By that she wants to focus on long term pays, not short-term profits.

America has had many great leaders throughout its rich history. What is a president, is it not just another word for leader? George Washington was a military leader during the american revolution and later became the first president of the United States of America. He was a magnificent president and he set the bar for what the president should be like. Throughout history we have had many presidents some good some not so much. This upcoming election will decide our forty fifth president of the United States, and may be the single most important election we will ever have. All the presidents of the United States have had a problem that they had to deal with and that they would talk about in their campaigns to help them to be elected. The two candidates either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will have more than just one problem to deal with. Our nation is not in a very good position so the president we choose has to be able to think on his or her feet and be a strong leader we can trust. A lot of things come into effect when voting for the new president such as the way the battleground states vote. The battleground states are Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. These states have a major impact on who will be the next president for the reason that most of the time the candidate that wins the election wins the majority of these states. With this being such a huge election that is so close in the polls we need everyone who can vote to
