Answer:
The main idea of Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address is that<u> the Southern states had no reason to worry for their personal freedom and well being</u>.
Explanation:
Lincoln was elected on November 6, 1860, and before he took office, on March 4, 1861, seven southern states had left the federation. In his inaugural address, Lincoln made clear his position regarding slavery in the South: "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so".
In this way, Lincoln carefully repeated the very clear position of his new government on the issue of slavery, in order to calm the South. He would not interfere with the institution of slavery in states where it already existed and was protected by the Constitution.

Answer:
"The Most Dangerous Game"is a 1924 short story written by Richard Connell. It is essentially a story about a big-game hunter who is forced to swim to an isolated island in the Caribbean, upon falling off a yacht.
The main conflict of the story is that between two men - two hunters. At the very beginning of the story, Rainsford (the protagonist) mentions that there are two classes of people in the world: the hunter and the huntee. Later on, Rainsford arrives on the island and meets a sociopath, Zaroff, who likes to play a rather peculiar game - he hunts other people out of boredom. Rainsford, although he sees no point in this game, is forced to play it and becomes "the huntee" in his own terms. This game, instead of being entertaining, becomes a dangerous fight for life between the two men.
Here, he says, "once below a time." It sounds like something is buried under time, sort of like what happens when something dies, right? But also, something like treasure that needs to be recovered. And what was happening below this time? The speaker spent his days ruling over the trees and leaves and daisies and barley and rivers, blown by the wind.<span>The gist here is that he felt like a young, powerful, world-at-his-fingertips prince. Things were easy, beautiful, and awesome.</span>
