The correct answer is the statement that reads: “Lincoln argues that the war is a punishment to both the North and South for allowing slavery to exist for so long, reminding the Northerners not to put all the blame on the South”. Near the end of the Civil War, Lincoln delivered his <em>Second Inaugural Address</em> (1865) and he argued that the conflict that was happening (Civil War) was an offence to God and <u>a “divine” punishment for the sin of slavery</u> that both the North and South have tolerated. In his speech, one can spot Lincoln’s argument when he says: “If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him?”.

Which excerpt from "War Message to Congress" expresses President Wilson's opinion?
Len [333]

Answer:

The excerpt from "War Message to Congress" which expresses President Wilson's opinion is:

A. Each nation must decide for itself how it will meet it.

Explanation:

First, let's take a look at options B through D. They all state facts, that is, something that is known or that can be proved to be true. It is a fact that something was said on the 3rd of February. It is a fact that ships were sunk by submarines. It is also a fact that people died in such attacks. Now, when we take a look at option A, we can easily see that it expresses an opinion, not a fact. It is President Wilson's opinion that each country must make a decision for itself. Other people may disagree with him, saying, for instance, that nations should make a collective decision. Thus, we can safely choose letter A as the option that expresses an opinion.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

"at her altar's side"

Explanation:

This imagery would probably best reference religious rites. It can be said that Belinda's morning ritual, where she puts her make up on in front of her vanity, is a form of religious rite, though what she is worshiping as mentioned in the poem, is Pride - over her beauty. This poem was written by Alexander Pope, as part of his collection of poems, The R*ape of the Lock.
