History - December 2007

Was the one fired from the gun of John Wilkes Booth
I am an amatueur Civil War Historian. And I believe that the assassinaton af Abrahan Lincoln was probably the single worst event in U.S. History
Because of Lincoln's horrible death, the United staes was plunged into 100 Years of racial inequailty, intolerance, and suffering.
I honestly believe, had He lived, Lincoln would have found a way to heal the nation's post Civil War wounds. He was that great enough of a Man I think. Instead becuse of Lincoln's death America got saddled with Andrew Johnson and reconstruction. What a National Tragedy

Your thoughts? Agree or disagree?

What consequences would this have brought to today's political picture? Would Mexico have been a different nation or pretty much the same?
Serious answers please, this was a discussion a group of friends had recently and the conclusions we came to were very interessting, i want to see if this view is shared by more people.

Remember that meximilian ahd very progressive ideas that put him in conflict with the conservatives that had brought him to mexico initially, France deserted him because he didn't want to follow napoleon III's project for mexico, and ended up alone and against the lawful republican government of juarez who defeated him and executed him militarily by firing squad. What lessons this episode of history give us?
Participation apreciated!

Thanks a lot.

I'm almost positive we, America, went after Japan first, especially since in FDR's speech it seemed he declared war on Japan and then you had the whole Doolittle raid. My history teacher however says that we went after Germany first and the people of America were annoyed because they wanted us to go after Japan first.

I am aware that there are other causes to WW1 such as Militarism and Imperialism but I am still unsure what role Germany played and this is to be a good part of our assessment. Could anyone offer any suggestions as to how Germany helped fuel the war?
Thanks.

The following is from a 1933 AP article (pre holocaust).

From the Lansing State Journal newspaper (Lansing, Michigan) of February 23, 1933.
HITLER AIMS BLOW AT 'GODLESS' MOVE

Chancellor's Forces Seek the Catholic Support for Latest Campaign

BERLIN, Feb. 23 (AP)--A campaign against the "godless movement" and an appeal for Catholic support were launched Wednesday by Chancellor Adolf Hitler's forces. They struck at two of his formidable opponents in the March 5 elections, the first at communists and the latter at the allied Catholic parties.

Meanwhile five more persons were killed and scores were injured Tuesday night in the incipient civil war which has been waging since Hitler's rise to power. This brought the number of deaths in political clashes since the first of the year, when Hitler began negotiations for the chancellorship, to about 70.
