Why is Lincoln honored?
Abraham Lincoln was honored because he ended slavery and without him, we would probably have slaves working in factories and have to be doing stuff like hard labor.
What year did slaves get set free?
Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. That was when slaves were officially free in the United States. It did not actually happen until after the Civil War ended in 1865.
What did Southerners have to do to receive a pardon under Lincoln's reconstruction act?
Southerners had to accept that the blacks were no longer slaves and were in fact free. The American Civil war ended in 1865.
When did Sojourner Truth escape slavery?
she escaped before dawn and before that she went to Abraham Lincoln to ask if all slavey could be ended .
Which event worried the southern States and eventually led to their secession?
You could make a case for either the Election of Abraham Lincoln as President OR the Emancipation of the slaves; but the South saw them as one in the same. Lincoln actually didn't want to free the slaves; he believed that slavery would eventually end naturally and he believed that it should be ended by containing slavery and then just letting it fall apart on itself. The South believed that Lincoln would free the slaves so as soon as he was elected Southern States began to seceed. The funny thing is that it's because of their secession that Lincoln freed the slaves. He was put into a position where he probably just thought "Well, the wars already started...might as well free them now."
