the brits invaded and sacked Washington DC. James Madison n his cabinet members already left when the brits arrived. the soldiers under command by their generals burnt down important bldgs like the Capitol, Treasury n the White House. Dolly, James' wife, was still in DC and ordered evacuation of the WH before the brits burnt it down.

abraham lincoln, according to anyone who was connected with agriculture, represented the worst of northern politicians. shortly after lincoln was elected, south carolina seceded from the union. they along with other southern states, retained their anger. in a way, it was their own fault: the democrats were split in the south. some wanted slavery to be extended in other states that were about to join the union and some didn't want it badly enough. lincoln had a solid backing from his party: the republicans were united in not wanting slavery to be expanded.
