When world war 2 began what position did the united states take

The U.S. took a "I'm going to stay out of this approach."  They did support and help the Allies when it came to planes, bombs, etc.  They entered WWII officially after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor which brought WWII into the Pacific Theater.

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.
