What is the main idea of this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address? Apprehension seems to exist among the peop

le of the Southern States that by the accession of a Republican administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered. There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension. Indeed, the most ample evidence to the contrary has all the while existed and been open to their inspection. It is found in nearly all the published speeches of him who now addresses you. I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so." Those who nominated and elected me did so with full knowledge that I had made this and many similar declarations, and had never recanted them.

Lincoln was trying to ensure the southern states that he wouldn't be taking their slaves away from them and that he'd try his best to find a way for them to keep their slaves if it'd keep them content.

Answer:

The Southern states had no reason to worry for their personal freedom and well being.

Explanation:

In his Inaugural Address, President Abraham Lincoln addressed the concerns of the Southern States that <em>"the accession of a Republican administration [will endanger] their property and their peace and personal security"</em>. But he greatly stressed that this is not so. He even quoted his previous speech where he had promised to never <em>"interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists."</em> He also states that he had <em>"no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."</em> This proves that the Southern States need not worry about their personal freedom and well being, despite him becoming President.

PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!Read the following excerpt from Joseph Chamberlain's "The True Conception of Empire":

Answer:

Imperialism is often associated with exerting control over people and territories. It is directly related to the use of force, be it military or not - maybe some sort of financial and cultural control.

We can see those characteristics in this excerpt. It is typical of imperialist minds and the propaganda they spread to claim that it is all done for a greater good. Even death. It is only another step on the way up. That can be clearly seen in the following sentences: "you can not destroy practises of barbarism, of slavery, superstition, which for centuries have desolated in the interior Africa, without the use of force" and " we may rest assured that for one life lost a hundred will be gained, and the cause of civilization and the prosperity of the people will in the long run be eminently advanced."

katovenus [111]

The correct answer is A. an audience member at a blues show.

He or she is telling us about the show he or she went to, where they heard the blues musician play. They describe the musician, the atmosphere, the music, give us their opinion and feelings about the entire night. We learn that the narrator has managed to remember the lyrics to the song because they were so touched by them.
