Dear family,

I leave this letter to warn you that I am joining the Union Army and asking for your prayers for my protection and for the protection of all those on the battlefield today.

I believe it is God's will that all men be free regardless of their skin color and that the way the Confederates defend slavery is something inhuman and cruel that hurts the Christian principles to which our country has been rooted.

Moreover, I believe that it is my duty as a citizen to fight for the union of our country, so in this way I will be guaranteeing a prosperous future, strong and full of freedom and unity.

Lastly, I apologize for the concern I am causing you, I ask you to understand and to introduce me in your prayers.

Sincerely yours,

John.

To start with you can do.....

Dear family,
i am joining the confederate army because i need more money and i thought i would the family i wont becoming back in a while but i will be vivisiting tell all my chindren i love them tell my wife i love her.<span>First I think you need to understand that I in no way support the abhorrent institution that was Slavery in the United States prior to the ratification of the 13th amendment. However it did exist and was guaranteed by law and the Constitution. No this did not make it right, but there it is. Reading literature of the time and many political speeches you find it referred to in many veiled ways.i really hope you understand i love you all.

What was the nixon doctrine? how did this doctrine play out in foreign policy
Wewaii [24]
Essentially, the Nixon Doctrine was Richard Nixon's foreign policy manifesto. It outlined that the United States would provide help to foreign nations combatting communism with financial aid rather than military aid. This essentially was to limit the deployment of US military abroad, like in Vietnam or Korea. 
The Nixon Doctrine was in line with Nixon's idea of "Detente" which literally means "relaxation" in French. Nixon wanted to defuse relations with China and the USSR by withdrawing US troops from "proxy wars" (wars fought between two opposing sides but either side is backed by a foreign power, in this case the United States and the USSR). 
To answer the final part of your question, the Nixon Doctrine had initial success. The Doctrine was intrinsic to the Paris Peace Conference in 1973 which saw the end to the Vietnam War. It also allowed Nixon to obtain the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) with the USSR, which limited the amount of nuclear missiles (ICBM's especially), and become the first US President to visit Communist China. The Doctrine was essentially a part of a plan for "peaceful coexistence" between the democracies and the communists, and may have been successful were it not for Nixon's downfall in 1974 and Ford and Carter's lack of continuity in the Doctrine. 

Hope I helped and please rate my answer :)
