Lincoln's primary goal during his presidency was to "maintain the Union" meaning that he prized this goal above ending slavery since he knew that if the South were allowed to go free the nation would fail.
Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika were the policies adopted by Mikhail

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The impact World War I had on the women who were left home and the men who were in the trenches was devastating in different ways.
First, if men were drafted, they had to leave home to enlist in the military. That was the first shock. Most of them knew they were going to die on the battlefield.
That impacted the family in that women, mothers, had to be in charge of the house, raise children, get a job to feed the family members, knowing that they could never see again their husbands. That should have been a traumatic experience.
Children! How a mother could explain to children that their dad was not going to get back home. Too much pain and suffereing.
President Wilson's appearance in front of the Congress asking for the declaration of war against Germany in hopes that they could influence the terms of the postwar peace settlement.
He proclaimed that the world must be made safe for democracy, to fight for the right of those who submit to authority to be their voice in their governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations and for the safety of all nations and make the world itself free.
The U.S. Senate then voted in favor of war with 82 votes to 6 and two days later the House of Representatives also voted in favor with 373 votes to 50. This solidified and announced the participation of the United States into the First World War.
