Abraham lincoln objected to the kansas nebraska act because he thought

Slavery should be contained and not spread to new territories. He said that the passage of Douglas’s Kansas-Nebraska Act angered him “as he had never been before.” It transformed his views on slavery.

Explanation:

The congressman named Abraham Lincoln illustrated the transition of many northern Whigs to the new Republican party. Unless the North mobilized to stop the efforts of pro-slavery southerners, the future of the Union was imperiled. From that moment on, Lincoln focused his energies on reversing the Kansas-Nebraska Act and promoting the anti-slavery movement. He often asked audiences if any issue had so divided and aroused the nation has had the future of slavery. By stopping the expansion of slavery and affirming the moral principle of freedom for all, “we shall not only save the Union,” Lincoln said in 1854, “but we shall have so saved it, as to make, and to keep it, forever worthy of the saving.”

on this day in 1939, in response to hitler’s invasion of poland, britain and france, both allies of the overrun nation declare war on germany.

the first casualty of that declaration was not german—but the british ocean liner athenia, which was sunk by a german u-30 submarine that had assumed the liner was armed and belligerent. there were more than 1,100 passengers on board, 112 of whom lost their lives. of those, 28 were americans, but president roosevelt was unfazed by the tragedy, declaring that no one was to “thoughtlessly or falsely talk of america sending its armies to european fields.” the united states would remain neutral.

as for britain’s response, it was initially no more than the dropping of anti-nazi propaganda leaflets—13 tons of them—over germany. they would begin bombing german ships on september 4, suffering significant losses. they were also working under orders not to harm german civilians. the german military, of course, had no such restrictions. france would begin an offensive against germany’s western border two weeks later. their effort was weakened by a narrow 90-mile window leading to the german front, enclosed by the borders of luxembourg and belgium—both neutral countries. the germans mined the passage, stalling the french offensive.
