The presidential election of 1860

History
1 answer:
lara [203]3 years ago
6 0

The two right choices are these:

1. The Northern-Southern split in the Democratic Party facilitated the election of Lincoln, which incensed both factions within the party. There was turmoil at the selection of the Democrat candidate for President in April 1860. Northern democrats favoured Stephen Douglas, who supported slavery but also the right of the states not to accept it (popular sovereignty), so Southern democrats rejected him candidacy. When the Republicans, taking advantage of this turmoil, opted for the self-made man and epitome of the American dream Abraham Lincoln as their candidate, the Democrats were not pleased. Lincoln won the election, but not by absolute majority - he received only 40% of the votes.

2. The election of Abraham Lincoln, who was opposed to expansion of slavery in territories, led to the secession of seven Southern states. Upon the election of Lincoln, who was strictly opposed to slavery, South Carolina seceded from the Union. Within the following three months, seven states seceded from the Union, and the Confederacy was created. Lincoln

African Americans were not considered citizens until the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, three years after Lincoln's assassination, and, certainly, Confederate states did not assure the freedom of all African American slaves.

To whom is Faulkner addressing his speech
storchak [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: up-and-coming young writers.

Explanation:

William Faulkner's Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech was addressed to all up-and-coming young writers, "already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whom is already that one who will someday stand here where I am standing".

In his speech, he talks about the young people who have forgotten the problems of spirit and human heart, and he invites all young writers to write about these things in order to be able to make good writing.

William Faulkner gave this speech at the Nobel Banquet at the City Hall in Stockholm, on December 10, 1950, after receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Famous Books and Authors: What was the importance of the book or author? -Beowolf: -Geoffrey Chaucer: - Dante Aligheri: -Boccacc
Aleks [24]

<em>Beowulf </em>is a heroic poem - it tells the deeds of a hero - written in Old English that could date from the 8th century. Originally it did not have a title, but later on it was named after Beowulf, a Scandinavian legendary hero. It is considered the oldest European vernacular epic (vernacular means colloquial and epic is poetry that is about heroes) and one of the most important works in Old English literature.

Geoffrey Chaucer (1340/44-1400) is known as the Father of English Literature. He wrote in the English vernacular (colloquial), even though his contemporaries were still writing in Latin, and is one of the most important English poets from the Middle Ages. One of his most well-known works is <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>.

Dante Alighieri (circa 1265-1321) is the author of a true masterwork of the literature of all times: the epic poem <em>The Divine Comedy</em>, an autobiographical work, to a certain extent, written in the vernacular Italian, instead of in Latin or Greek, which were more common at that time. By choosing the vernacular Italian, he was able to share his work with a wider audience.

Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) is, together with Dante and Petrarch, one of the fathers of Italian literature. One of his most famous famous works is the <em>Decameron</em>, a book that includes short stories and novels, with actions that took place in the course of ten days - Decameron means "ten days" in Greek. The book was very influential (it influenced <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>, for instance).

Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) was Boccaccio's fellow poet and humanist. He was a priest, but after seeing a woman seemingly named Laura for the first time he abandoned that vocation and devoted most of his career to write poems for her. Petrarch coined the famous (although not true) term or expression "Dark Ages" in reference to the period that preceded the Renaissance (that is, the Middle Ages).
