Lincoln was a man of his word, and After he signed the emancipation proclamation he was called an ape because of his giant ears and beard and because of the south’s/confederate pro slavery additude. Abraham lincoln was born on February 12th 1809 in the town of Hodgenville Kentucky. In his early years he lived in a cabin and became a lawyer in his adult life. In the last episode we covered the lincoln debates so that was obviously a part of his life. Ethan- Abe Lincoln was the 16th president. He served in office from 1861-1865 when he was assassinated. He was 1 of the main political leaders during the Civil W

Why did the Irish imigrate to America, why did the Germans?   Irish and German immigration 1st Ben- In 1812 to 1870, seven and half million people immigrated,  Halfway through the nineteenth century, a third of the Irish population immigrated to America, and one third germans did too, they did so because of the unemployment they faced and the civil unrest in their countries, they did it because of the near impossible hardships before them. The wave of immigration really affected a lot of cities. 2nd ricky approximately 90% of immigration was either german/irish.

Welcome back to The Emancipation Podcast Station - the place to hear about history researched and retold through the eyes of Middle school and HS students. Last time on the show... George Washington John Adams   Today we discuss “The Early Republic”.   Let’s dive in. Which Candidate would you have voted for, why?   The election of 1800 1st - Ricky-the Election of 1800 was a cruel, and partisian time filled with bitterness and hate. The gist of the Election was that Thomas jefferson had been ‘waging war’ so to speak against John adams. Each had different views on America even though they were friends Thomas Jefferson was Democrat/Republican and John adams was federalist. 2nd - Gabe - There was some major conflict in america in 1800 because with the Federalist leaning toward Britain and the Democratic/republic leaning More Toward the French many thought the federalist were trying to bring back more of a monarchy. 3rd -  Ben- These bitter rivals fighting over how the States should be governed, but

Welcome back to The Emancipation Podcast Station - the place to hear about history researched and retold through the eyes of Middle school and HS students. The Road to Revolution   Seven Years War Blake-The seven years war is truly an interesting war. Many don’t realize that it was actually the first global or world war. As Ricky said the fighting actually began in 1754, however the English didn’t declare war on the French until 1756 so in actuality it is the Seven Years War. The cause of the war is pretty simple the English were obsessed with gaining the most land while the French were interested in the fur trade with the Native Americans. The English failed to gain control of the French fort “Fort  Duquesne” so the English prime minister decided this was a lack of military strength so he funded the military endeavor even more. This was a good idea at the time but later it was the main cause of the Revolutionary war because of the taxation he needed to pay back the debt. Ricky-The seven years war (m
