Oh, I’ve solved this before! I learned about it a while back!
1. Ulysses S. Grant had the nickname “Unconditional Surrenderer” and fought in the Civil War as a Union general. He was a gifted writer, an inspiration to many soldiers on the battlefield, and he led the Union to various victories over the Confederacy. He was crucial to the battle for antislavery and helped the Union win the Civil War.
2. The four people who ran for Presidency were John Breckinridge, John Bell, Stephen Douglas, and Abraham Lincoln. John Breckinridge, being a southern democrat, was in favor of slavery and did not get voted for anything. John Bell, a Tennesseean and former Secretary of War, served in the House of Representatives for the term of 1827-1841. He was not recognized for anything special. Stephen Douglas, a northern democrat, ran in the Illinois Senate race of 1858 and won the unclaimed spot of the Senate over Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln, a southern Republican, ran for the unclaimed spot of the Senate in 1858 and lost to Stephen Douglas. However, he ran against Stephen Douglas two years following this to win presidency over Stephen Douglas in the Election of 1860.
Your final answers: 1. Ulysses S. Grant. 2. John Bell, John Breckinridge, Stephen Douglas, Abraham Lincoln. The two that stood out were Stephen Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. If you need extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
