Answer:

<h2>It went against the ideals of freedom on which the nation was founded. </h2>

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence (1776) famously asserted:  "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights," and "that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."   For the principle embedded in the Declaration of Independence to ring true in America, those words need to be applied to all humanity -- including non-white and non-male persons.  For the government to derive its powers justly from the consent of the governed, African Americans needed to be counted as citizens and included as voters.

The Republican Party platform in 1860 pointed out the paradox between America's ideals and the continuation of slavery.   The Republicans, whose presidential candidate was Abraham Lincoln, rejected the idea that the Constitution allowed for the extension of slavery into any or all of the territories of the United States as "a dangerous political heresy."  The party platform went on to say that "the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom ... We deny the authority of Congress, of a territorial legislature, or of any individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the United States."

3 The Battle of Tours affected the spread of Christianity because it A kept the Muslims in the southern part of the Iberian Peni
Radda [10]

Answer:

The answer is letter A

Explanation:

At the Battle of Tours near Poitiers, France, Frankish leader Charles Martel, a Christian, defeats a large army of Spanish Moors, halting the Muslim advance into Western Europe. Abd-ar-Rahman, the Muslim governor of Cordoba, was killed in the fighting, and the Moors retreated from Gaul, never to return in such force.

Charles was the illegitimate son of Pepin, the powerful mayor of the palace of Austrasia and effective ruler of the Frankish kingdom. After Pepin died in 714 (with no surviving legitimate sons), Charles beat out Pepin’s three grandsons in a power struggle and became mayor of the Franks. He expanded the Frankish territory under his control and in 732 repulsed an onslaught by the Muslims.

Victory at Tours ensured the ruling dynasty of Martel’s family, the Carolingians. His son Pepin became the first Carolingian king of the Franks, and his grandson Charlemagne carved out a vast empire that stretched across Europe.
