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.
Lincoln was morally opposed to slavery and politically opposed to any expansion of it. At issue was extension into the western territories. On October 16, 1854, in his Peoria Speech, Lincoln declared his opposition to slavery, which he repeated in his route to presidency.
