Lincoln finally replaced the general of the war and when it was time for general Ulysses S. Grant to try his quest he was the only on that succeeded in 1865 (Wikipedia, 2011). The time came when Lincoln was being attacked from all sides. He was being attacked by the Radical Republicans. The Radical republicans wanted harsher treatment of the South.

Lincoln’s suspension of Habeas Corpus In 1861 of April, Abraham Lincoln suspended the Habeas Corpus. “Habeas Corpus is a writ requiring a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or into court.”(Webster's dictionary) What he had done was very Unconstitutional, unlawful, and caused many people to dislike him. Lincoln arrested those from the south, and made it where they didn’t have to go in front of court or a judge. The judge had ordered Lincoln to bring the people in front of him, but Lincoln and the military refused, and kept doing what they were doing. Should a president be able to do whatever they want?
Nathaniel Bacon was the head of an event in American history known as Bacon’s Rebellion. In this rebellion, Bacon led many lower class and landless immigrants against the elite of the Virginia colony and, more directly, Governor William Berkley. It is debated by historians whether or not Bacon is to be considered a hero for his aid of the lower class or a traitor for going against the colony and its Native American allies. Bacon is most definitely a traitor for his rash and adverse actions that defied the Governor’s orders and caused unnecessary conflict with the Native American tribes. Nathaniel Bacon was appointed to the Council of Government in the Virginia colony after having only resigning there for approximately a year, according to the second video.

The bitter irony that Adolf Hitler, leader of the German empire, in a final testament expelled top members of his administration for their “disloyalty to the Reich and their Furher” (Monahan & Neidel-Greenlee, 2004, p. 452), did what most consider a cowardly and dishonorable act by committing suicide as the allied troops were closing in on his capture. To dwell on the final days of the war doesn’t do the book justice, there were so many heroes written about, from nurses and surgeons to the infantry that they served, too many people whose lives were forever changed by war. All the influences and change prompted by the necessity of war weren’t negative, to see the role of the registered nurse evolve from the stereotypical assistant and “hand-holder” to the sole anesthesiologist in an active frontline battle zone was exciting and helped to illustrate that nurses will do what needs to be done, that they are capable of more than they realize when a challenge is put in front of them.

Many, many influential people turned on President Polk, from authors, such as Henry David Thoreau, who ended up imprisoned because he refused to pay taxes to support an unjust war, to Representative Abraham Lincoln, who turned against Pol by saying, he was “bewildered, confounded and miserably perplexed.” Some accused Southern Democrats of spreading slavery. Frederick Douglass, a famous abolitionist, said the war was “disgraceful.” In the end, the Mexican War did far more harm than good, especially in sectional issues at this time in the history of the United
