When was Lincoln elected President of the United States?
Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. When Lincoln was a young man, his family moved to the new state of Illinois. Lincoln had to earn a living at an early age, but in his leisure time he studied law. He soon became one of the best known lawyers in the state capital at Springfield, Illinois. It was here that Lincoln became famous for his debates with Stephen A. Douglas on the subject of slavery.
In 1860, Lincoln was elected President of the United States. He was the candidate of the new Republican Party. This party opposed the creation of new slave states. Soon after his election, some of the South states withdrew from the Union and set up the Confederate States of America. This action brought on the terrible Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865.
On January 1,1863, during the war, Lincoln issued his famous Emancipation Proclamation. In this document Lincoln proclaimed that all the slaves in the seceding states were to be free of that date. In 1865, after the war ended, the Thirteen Amendment was added to the Constitution of the United States. This amendment put an end to slavery everywhere in the United States.
Early in 1865, the Civil War came to an end with the defeat of the south by the North. The President died on April 14, 1865.
选项
A、Because they didn’t like Lincoln being their president.
B、Because they wanted to set up their own government.
C、Because they disagreed with Lincoln about the abolishment of slavery.
D、Because they wanted to stage a war against Lincoln’s government.
答案
C
解析
题干问:“南部州为什么撤出联盟?”因为林肯是新共和党的候选人,而新共和党反对新奴隶州的建立,所以当林肯成为总统的时候,以奴隶制为主的南部州,必然要退出联盟。所以本题的答案选C。
