History

Lincoln Movie Mrs. Keckley's son, who was at least 3/4s white, had claimed to be a white man and enlisted in the U.S. Army when blacks were not permitted to enlist. Had the army recruiters known that his mother was a mulatto slave, he would not have been permitted to serve. Mrs. Keckley's son was killed in battle early in the war. In the movie, when the Abraham Lincoln character says that he doesn't know her people, she responds by saying:

As for me: My son died, fighting for the Union, wearing the Union blue. For freedom he died. I'm his mother. That's what I am to the nation, Mr. Lincoln. What else must I be?

What does it mean that in 1865 a black woman would say that her significance to the nation was that she was the mother of a Union soldier who died in the war?

Was the Brooks-Sumner incident a direct result of the Kansas-Nebraska Act and Bleeding Kansas or did it more accurately reflect the sectionalist and cultural division between the northern and southern United States In his speech, Sumner used graphic depictions of violence, calling the situation in Kansas the r.a.p.e of a virgin territory and slavery in Kansas the hideous offspring of the crime. However, Sumner did not limit himself to attacking the South or slavery, he made his attack personal. First, he went after Stephen Douglas of Illinois, calling him a ''squat and nameless animal'' for his role in leading the Senate's Democrats.
