Lincoln's main purpose was to urge everyone to honor those who had died at Gettysburg by striving to maintain the kind of nation imagined by America's founders.

President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863.   in the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln affirmed the principle stated by the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal.  The massive number of casualties at the Battle of Gettysburg  gave impetus to Lincoln's words about preserving the Union and government of the people, by the people and for the people, but those ideas had been central to Lincoln's worldview before Gettysburg.  

His closing words of the speech are powerful:  

  • <em>It is for us, the living ... to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced ... that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.</em>

what factors led to the development of the atlantic trade system between Europe, Africa, and the America’s ?
RoseWind [281]
Main causes:
Importance of growth in colonies
Shortage of labor
Failure to find alternative sources of labor
The legal position
Racial attitudes
Religious factors
Military factors

Brief explanation:

Increasing numbers of slaves were transported across the Atlantic because of the new form of farming that developed in the European colonies of the New World.

European farmers attempted to use native populations as a source of labour, which proved difficult. However, tha did not stop the development of the New Word.

With new land available, labourers were always tempted to leave their job and start their own farm. Wages needed to be high enough to tempt them to stay, reducing the planters’ profit margins.

The status of slaves as property was long established. The use of the property law meant that the enslaved were not considered humans, but commodities.

Several ideas from the time supported the enslavement of Africans:

Africans were seen as more suited to work on the plantations

African captives would be executed if the slave trade was abolished

African slaves were seen as benefitting from being looked after by the superior Europeans

Some Bible passages were used to justify slavery. In Genesis Noah placed the 'curse of Ham' on the descendents of his son, starting with his grandson Canaan.

Under the Nuremburg Laws, you were considered Jewish even if only one of your grandparents was Jewish.
castortr0y [4]
This is true because even if that grandparent was to change from Jewish to Christianity they would still be considered Jewish and the Nazis thought it was passed down to the grandchildren.
