Abraham Lincoln

Here is a picture of Abraham Lincoln.

Invention of the USS Monitor

The USS Monitor was made in amazing 100 days. At first John Ericsson inventor of the USS Monitor, did not want to build a ship for the USA. But was later forced by officials to create a ship. When John Ericsson presented his planes for armored ship people were ecstatic, nobody ever before had thought of it. The finished date of the USS Monitor was March 6th 1862. The picture is of a monument of John Ericsson in Battery park, NYC. (John Ericsson July 31st 1803, March 8th 1889.)

Carry Amelia Nation / Carry Amelia Moore

Carry Amelia Nation, previously Carry Amelia Moore, started a movement for the prohibition of alcohol. At 6 ft tall, and 175 pounds, she was known to enter a bar(at the time, an alcohol serving establishment) and massacre the bar with a hatchet. She lived from November 25, 1846, to June 9th, 1911. She was married to a severe alcoholic who died one year after their daughter was born. She published her first chapter in 1892 in the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and in May of the 1900, she started her full crusade. She was beaten to death by a "joint" owner in Montana. People are known to believe that women's rights would not be the same without her.

Stephen Arnold Douglas

Stephen A. Douglas was Abraham Lincoln's closest competitor in the presidential election of 1860. He got over 25% of the vote. he supported the Dred Scott decision and was against slavery. He was a Northern Democrat, compared to a Southern Democrat. I stumbled upon him when researching the election of 1860, when Lincoln ( a Republican) was elected. I thought he seemed like an interesting person.
