Thoureau wanted to poit to the fact that following traditions limits us and deprives us from developing our imgination. Thoreau, like other romantic authors, does not agree with tradition.  He thinks it prevents people from finding true greatness and blocks their path to spirituality. "Castles in the air" are simply illusions by which people persuade themselves in something that is not true, in Thoureau's opinion.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

b. created an international diplomatic crisis for Abraham Lincoln.

Explanation:

The Trent Affair was a diplomatic incident in 1861 during the American Civil War that threatened a war between the United States and the United Kingdom.

The crisis erupted after the captain of the U.S. San Jacinto ordered the arrest of two Confederate envoys sailing to Europe aboard a British mail ship, the Trent, in order to seek support for the South in the Civil War. The British, who had not taken sides in the war, were outraged and claimed the seizure of a neutral ship by the U.S. Navy was a violation of international law. In the end, President Abraham Lincoln’s administration released the envoys and averted an armed conflict with Britain.

What is the story of the resurrection?<br><br> (PUT THIS IN YOUR OWN WORDS PLEASE)
lara [203]

Answer:

Jesus' resurrection is a witnessed, but not historically confirmed event, in which, according to preserved testimonies, Jesus was executed by crucifixion and buried in a carved rock tomb. After just over two days, witnesses are said to have observed the tomb empty and Jesus alive.  According to many Christians, this could have happened because it was a miracle and therefore evidence that Jesus would actually have been the Messiah, the Son of God. According to many theologians, the resurrection of Jesus is not historically provable, but a matter of faith.

The event is central to the Christian faith, where the traditional theological interpretation is that Jesus overcame death in this way: Jesus paved the way for all who believe in him to arise in the same way at his return. In liberal Christianity, the resurrection can be perceived as spiritual or symbolic.
