Lincoln's short but powerful Gettysburg Address places the Civil War into the historical context of the American fight for freedom. Lincoln asserts that the war is a test of the ideals for which colonials fought in 1776- in a sense, its a continuation of the American Revolution. In an attempt to give direction to his divided country, Lincoln urges Americans to devote themselves to the task begun but not yet completed- to preserve freedom for all Americans.

in 1870, the state of Tennessee adopted a new constitution. Which is the BEST explanation for why this happened?

Margaret [11]

The best explanation to adopt a new Constitution in Tennessee is that it was a response to the requirement for all ex-Confederate states to adopt new constitutions expressly prohibiting slavery. In that sense, General Assembly, on November 15, 1869, called for an election to determine if a constitutional convention should be called to amend or replace the 1835 Constitution and to elect delegates to that convention. Finally, the voters decided for the convention and the new Constitution was approved in March 1870.

Also, the global economy was changing and growing causing stiff competition among workers for available jobs. A third reason was that there was a burst of growth in temporary jobs and part-time jobs.
