Timothy Webster : The New York

The controversy over slaves ultimately led to the secession. Abraham Lincoln thinks slavery is wrong and he wants to stop it from spreading. Earlier, he had warned that slavery could separate a nation. In the 1860 election Lincoln is elected, but southerners are worried he will end slavery forever. Southern states start to secede because they are worried. First South Carolina succeeds, then North, Texas, and then Florida too. They give themselves a new name called the Confederate States of America. (Wise...)

Lincoln opposed the breakaway of the Southern states, and this led to the American Civil War. Lincoln had preserved the union during it. The Civil War had cost more than many people’s prediction. Lincoln appeared to lose the support from the populations, but Lincoln had enough patience. His leadership and the attitude of pleasing to work with his patience helped him to held the country together. At the beginning, the Civil War was to help the survival of Union, but as the war going on and getting progress, Lincoln gain more trust, love, and support from the general population. IN this situation, Lincoln made the issue of releasing the

Sometime in the 1840s they moved to New York City and Timothy, now with a family to support, embarked on a career in law enforcement, joining the city’s then-fledgling police force.

Before the civil war, the country was dividing between the north and south, Problems included the states’ rights and disagreements over tariffs hi but the greatest divide was on the issue of slavery. Slavery was legal in the south but had been banned by sets north of the Mason Dixon line. With the election in 1860 of Abraham Lincoln who ran a message of containing slavery to where it currently existed and the success of the republican party to which he belonged. South Carolina issued a proclamation on December 24, 1860, to explain its reasons for seceding from the United states. An official secession convention met in South Carolina following the November 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the united states on a platform opposing the expansion of slavery into us territories Years after the wars end claims were made that South Carolina decision to secede was created by other issues such as tariffs and taxes but these issues were not mentioned at all in the deceleration The primary focus of the declaration is the perceived violation of

The South wanted to secede from the Union because of Lincoln’s inauguration. Since he was elected, the South felt they were losing power and

By the time 1860 came by, the North and South had a deep rift between them. With several issues such as slavery, it divided them in two. The South became the confederacy the moment Abraham Lincoln was elected for President of the United States of America. The North became the Union because unlike the South, the North had not seceded from the United States. Abraham Lincoln’s election drew the southerners over the edge, and on top of that the Civil War broke out in April of 1861.

In the year 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected to the office of the President of the United States. Many of the southerners believed that the government was gaining too much power so, many of the southern states decided to secede. These secessionists believed that according to the Constitution, the states had the right to separate themselves from the Union. Lincoln knew that they did not have that right. Lincoln made a wise decision when denying the peaceful secession of the South because physically the states cannot be separated, secession is unlawful, and a government that allows secession will become weak. Secession would have destroyed the government that America tried so desperately hard to build.

The South saw slavery as the most important aspect of their cultural and material life. Many acts and events took place to penetrate the division of the North and the South. The election of Republican Abraham Lincoln linked the chain of reasons that Southern secessionists needed. This election shattered the Union and led to start of the Civil War. Southerners saw the election of Lincoln as one more effort to exclude slavery from the territories because he was a northerner and republican that banned the expansion of slavery; this gave the southerners who wanted independence a reason to success from the Union.

1) The secession was a pivotal moment in American history. When Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860, it caused alarm in several Southern states since he did not receive a single electoral vote from them. Since he was the first from the political Republican Party to become president, nobody quite knew what to expect and the South feared that he would disregard and corrode their values. Lincoln desired to place the slaveholding states under the non-slaveholding states to prevent slavery from spreading, which was the last straw that pushed South Carolina to secede on December 20, 1860. Even before Lincoln’s inauguration on March 4, 1861, seven states seceded.

H.L.Mencker once said, “The American People, North and South, went into (Civil) war as citizens of their respective states, they came out as subjects… what they thus lost they have never got back.” April 12, 1861, was the day an unavoidable war was started, the Civil War (The Civil War Begins). The dispute over slavery was an ongoing issue between the North and South since as early as 1858. As the controversy between the North and South continued over slavery continued, the south had discussion about secession. When delegates from the slave states meant, the “Ordinance of Secession” declared that “ Union was now subsisting between South Carolina and other states, under the name of the United States of America, is hereby dissolved.”

Born in Newhaven, East Sussex, United Kingdom on March 12, 1822, in a town in the Lewses District which lies at the mouth of the River Ouse on the English Channel and it was a ferry port for services to France. Later on his parents and Timothy Webster emigrated to the United States of America on August 1830 to look for a new opportunity which the United Kingdom didn’t provide for them and their son. They settled in Princeton, New Jersey where Timothy Webster started his education. As a young man, he learned to become a machinist but in the 1850s he started looking for someone else to do. First he went for a job as a New York Policemen and he did very well in that position.

Having exhausted their legal and political options, they felt that the only way to protect them from this Northern assault was to no longer be a part of the United States of America. Although the Southern states seceded separately, without intending to form a new nation, they soon banded together in a loose coalition. Northerners, however, led by Abraham Lincoln, viewed secession as an illegal act. The Confederate States of America was not a new country; they felt, but a group of treasonous rebels.

Confederates quickly shed their American identity and adopted a new Confederate nationalism. Confederate nationalism was based on several ideals, foremost among these being slavery. This mindset brought problems into the infrastructure of the new government. Since the Confederacy was newly founded, it had little funds to operate as a country so the rich southerners used their money to fund it with controlling interest. Since the south lacked industry, it heavy relied on the plantations as the main income for the country’s economy. They had to rely on the export of resources from the plantations to acquire funds, but since production relied on a lot of conditions it was not a stable source of income like the industrialized north. Since the government was founded on slavery there were a lot of countries that disagreed with the slave trade so the confederacy did not gain many allies that would help them in the shirt time that they were in control. With the Union government having contracts and business with most of the countries in this time, when Lincoln declared his inaugural address, that the secession was legally

The Secession of the South from the Union When the United States of America expanded westward, they achieved manifest destiny. This above all, raised tensions between the North and the South. Although they were a union, many problems arose, the main issue being slavery. These problems eventually led to the Civil War. The North thrived on factories, while the South thrived on agriculture, causing them to utilize slaves.

South Carolina and the other southern states to follow, announced their intentions to leave the Union. They believed that since they voluntarily joined the Union, they could voluntarily withdraw as well.[7] During Lincoln’s attempt to stop the secession, more southern states joined the Confederates, and thus due to, but not only to these political factors, the civil war was slowly induced.
