When was Lincoln elected President of the United States?
Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. When Lincoln was a young man, his family moved to the new state of Illinois. Lincoln had to earn a living at an early age, but in his leisure time he studied law. He soon became one of the best known lawyers in the state capital at Springfield, Illinois. It was here that Lincoln became famous for his debates with Stephen A. Douglas on the subject of slavery.
In 1860, Lincoln was elected President of the United States. He was the candidate of the new Republican Party. This party opposed the creation of new slave states. Soon after his election, some of the South states withdrew from the Union and set up the Confederate States of America. This action brought on the terrible Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865.
On January 1,1863, during the war, Lincoln issued his famous Emancipation Proclamation. In this document Lincoln proclaimed that all the slaves in the seceding states were to be free of that date. In 1865, after the war ended, the Thirteen Amendment was added to the Constitution of the United States. This amendment put an end to slavery everywhere in the United States.
Early in 1865, the Civil War came to an end with the defeat of the south by the North. The President died on April 14, 1865.
选项
A、The break-down of the United States.
B、The withdrawal of some southern states from the Union.
C、The creation of the Confederate States of America.
D、The defeat of the Confederate States of America and the reunion of the United States.
答案
D
解析
题干问:“内战的结果是什么?”由材料中“Soon after his election,some of the South states withdrew from the Union and set up the Confederate States of America.”和“...the Civil War came to an end with the defeat of the South by the North.”可知,南部联邦被北部打败了,美国重新统一了,所以答案选D。
