Immediate efforts by Major to secure other distribution for its products proved unsuccessful. Further, because Major owned no trucks itself and had no sales organization, it could not distribute the products itself. It also had no market in which to distribute. In less than six months, Major Food Products Inc. had failed, and Aronowicz’s and Duncan’s stock in Major was worthless. Machinery was foreclosed and repossessed.
This was created during a series of joint debates between Illinois senate candidates, Abraham Lincoln and Steven Douglas. Lincoln asked Douglas of his opinion on whether the state’s or Supreme Court’s decree of slavery in each state would prevail. Douglas replied that no matter how the court ruled, slavery would stay down, if the people of that state voted it down. Although Douglas defeated Lincoln for the Senate seat, he experienced an immense loss of support by Southern Democrats, and hurt his chances of winning the presidential election. Because, most of the Democratic party disagreed with his opinion, Douglas not only contributed to his own downfall, but also to the split of the Democratic
The results of the debates Lincoln lost 54 to 46 During the year 1858 Abraham Lincoln, at the time a Republican candidate for the Senate in Illinois, and Senator Stephen Douglas of the Democratic Party participated in a sequence of seven debates. Slavery would become the main issue discussed repeatedly in each debate, due to the Mexican War adding new territories left to be assessed as free soil or not. During this time, the Compromise of 1850 was a temporary fix to the sectional
Civil War Motivation For four years during the early 1860’s the United States of America was split into two separate countries, the north and the south. After the presidential election of 1860 when Abraham Lincoln was elected president, seven southern states seceded and formed the confederacy. This happened because Lincoln was determined to stop slavery from growing and expanding any more than it already had. The Civil War was a four year battle from 1861 to 1865 that turned fellow American citizens against one-another which resulted in the bloodiest war in American History. The country was split into the Confederacy of the South and The Union of the North and the soldiers that fought for each side had some similar and many different reasons
Stephen Arnold Douglas had emerged by the 1850s as the single greatest name in Democratic party politics, supported by a formidable political machine across Illinois constructed of federal patronage appointments that he oversaw and buttressed by major corporations (principally the Illinois Central Railroad) whose interests he was in a position to favor. But as a northerner and a promoter of the doctrine of "popular sovereignty" as the solution to the problem of slavery in the western territories, Douglas was mis•' For an example of how skepticism itself can become folklore, see David Zarefsky. Lincoln, Douglas, and Slavery: In the Crucible of Public Debate (Chicago, 1990), x. Zarefsky underscored the irrelevance of the debates by observing that the American Almanac for 1859 does nor mention the debates. That is because tbe Almanacs listing o f General Events for 1858" stopped at August 25, 1858—just after the first of tbe debates at Ottawa and nine weeks before the general legislative election in Illinois—in order to make a December press deadline. See The American Almanac and Repository of Usefi4l KnowUdge for the Year /ÍÍ.5ÍJ (Boston, 1859), 371.

After differences of opinion within the government as to how to go about rebuilding and readmitting the South were agreed upon, it was decided that the Southern states would be coerced to ratify the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. The 13th amendment abolished slavery, the 14th amendment extended citizenship rights to freed slaves, and the 15th amendment gave freed male slaves the right to vote. Even though slavery had been defeated, racial prejudice thrived in post war America. Democrats unleashed anti-black sentiments to rally fellow whites to assimilate under their banner. Thomas Nast’s cartoon, “This is a White Man’s Government”, satirizes the Democratic Party in 1868, depicting the Democrats as the oppressors of the black race, represented by the black Union soldier who fell while carrying the ballot box.
The American Civil War began April 12, 1861 and ended May 9, 1865. This war is sometimes called “The War Between the States” because it was fought between the North, also known as the Union states, and the South, also known as the Confederate states. The Civil War was triggered by the election of Abraham Lincoln as president in 1860, because Lincoln wanted to put an end to slavery and keep the Union together. As the United States continued to grow and to have more states join the Union, problems began when the North and South fought over whether the new states would come in as slave states or not. The territorial expansion of the United States played a great role in the Civil war because it indirectly affected slavery.
