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.
The South feared that their rights to slavery were in jeopardy with the election of Republican, Abraham Lincoln. However, the election of Lincoln was not a mandate for the abolition of slavery in the United States. Lincoln's primary platform while running for president was to stop the spread of slavery, not to abolish it. His Republican principles were the foundation for his disapproval of slavery.
