History - November 2007

I need some information regarding President Lincoln:

I looked up the the Presidential Election of 1860 and found that there were 4 nominees for that election. So does that mean that 4 candidates were chosen to run for that presidential race? Was it common back in those times to have more than 2 candidates?

In addition, I searched and searched endlessly, but what was Lincoln's Foreign Policy, and Congress's attitude towards him?

Legend has it that Harry Houdini died in 1926 from a ruptured appendix, after receiving multiple blows to his abdomen from a McGill University student, J. Gordon Whitehead. Whatever happened to Whitehead? Was he ever prosecuted? Did he ever express remorse? Is he still alive?

Hi. I'm 15 and I love history. In the future I wanna do something related to history. I'm actually considering becoming a history teacher. The problem is, I don't know if they make a lot of if the people I teach will appreciate the subject as much as I do.

My dad says that there will always be a group who'll love history and hell with those who don't like it.... it won't matter coz' your doing what you want.

I have my doubts though. I need a lot more convincing. What do you guys think? What should I do?

I've place it on my left lapel of my jacket.
Is there an etiquiette for wearing a poppy for men? Is there a proper way to wear it?

why was ratification of the Constitution was such a difficult process? my first instinct is because of personal vs. federal rights because they wanted more freedom from the government. Is this correct or is there a bigger reason?
