Personally, Lincoln was opposed to slavery. Why then, did he not end it the moment he was elected president?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Lincoln did not end the institution of slavery when he was elected president for several reasons. The main one was he feared how the Southern states would respond to getting rid of slavery. Lincoln knew that America's political landscape was at a very fragile stage, as there was constant fighting between Northern and Southern politicians in Congress. He feared that trying to immediately abolish the institution of slavery would result in a breaking up of the United States.

Even though he does not do this immediately, Southern states start to secede as soon as he wins the election. Just three short weeks after Lincoln wins the presidency, South Carolina becomes the first state to secede.

Answer 2
Answer: He was going to eventually put slavery into extinction by stopping it's further expansion in the U.S. territory. But he was going to wait for the 13th Amendment to do put slavery into extinction.

By the late 1600s, settlers in the middle colonies were

Answers

Both geographically and culturally, the middle colonies stood between New England and the South, blending their own influences with elements derived from the older regions on either side. In so doing, they more completely reflected the diversity of colonial life and more fully foreshadowed the pluralism of the American nation than the other regions did. By 1790, German, Scots-Irish, Welsh, and Irish immigrants had settled in the middle colonies, along with members of religious groups such as Quakers, Jews, Huguenots, and Mennonites. By the mid-eighteenth century, the middle colonies were the fastest growing area in North America.
they were more diverse and less cohesive as others because they weren't united by one single religion.
