Slavery & Civil War
====The republicans nominated Lincoln because he believed that slavery was morally wron and wanted to prevent its spread into the western territories. Lincoln faced criticism when he suspended the habeas corpusfor anyone openly supporting rebels or encouraged others to resist the draft. Thousands of african americans joined the military, and women managed homes, and served as nerses. The three main goals of the Radical Republicans, were to prevent the leader of the Confederacy from returning to power after the war, wanted the Republican Party to become a powerful institution in the south, and finally, and most important, they wanted the federal government to help African Americans achieve political equality by guaranteeing their right to vote in the South. ====
