Night shift workers who have trouble sleeping may have a condition known as shift work sleep disorder. âWorking non-traditional shifts interferes with the bodyâs circadian rhythms,â says sleep expert Tina Waters, MD. âMost of us are awake during the day because our bodyâs internal clock is keeping us awake.
Election to Congress in 1854 and the Mexican War brought the issue of the expansion of slave territory to the nation's attention. Lincoln formed a clearer position on slavery. He was opposed to black equality and had no intention of disturbing slavery in slave states.
During the war, Radical Republicans often opposed Lincoln in terms of selection of generals (especially his choice of Democrat George B. McClellan for top command of the major eastern Army of the Potomac) and his efforts to bring seceded Southern states back into the Union as quickly and easily as possible.
