Brother's Blood and Border Blood The remaining Border States of the United States were very crucial for both the North and the South, as they could secede at any moment and join the South, thus putting Washington, DC in danger. The Border States have not yet seceded, but they could at any time. If they did, Washing DC (the North's capital) would be completely surrounded my seceded states and could easily be attacked. Lincoln had to act fast to keep these Border States in the North, so he used "dubious" legal methods such as sending troops to Virginia and Missouri to secure these areas. Lincoln assured the Border States that he was only trying to save the union and not free the slaves, as all the border states were slave states. The Balance of Forces

The Republican and Democratic Parties The modern Democratic Party evolved from the Jeffersonian Republican Party, led and organized by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The Jeffersonian Republican Party arose as a response to the Federalist Party, headed by Alexander Hamilton and John Adams.

The party also opposed the national bank and demoted relations with Great Britain.

Resolution: Abraham Lincoln?s presidency was an overall disaster for the United States. Affirmative Team -- Supports the resolution Prime Minister (PM) and Member of Government (MG) Negative Team -- Negates the resolution Leader of Opposition (LO) and Member of Opposition (MO) Prime Minister 1 The Civil War was indirectly Lincoln?s fault because after his election in 1860, his perceived anti slavery sentiment as a member of the Republican Party caused Southerners to doubt the federal government?s ability to adequately defend their rights as members of the Union.
