Answer:

Thomas Jefferson, a man of great contradictions. He was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States but he was the owner of slaves.

One question would be:  Are really all humans equal by nature? Men´s natural-born rights of life, freedom were only applicable to white people and not to black slaves.

Second question: Can you hold that men can improve their destiny by their own actions but keep slaves who are deprived of the realization of their own will at the same time?

Was Lincoln's vato of wade-Davis bill good or bad? and why?
timama [110]

This can be argued both ways.

<u>Good</u>: Lincoln's vetoing of the Wade Davis Bill ensured that the process of allowing the Confederate states to rejoin the Union would not be as difficult. The Wade Davis Bill called for a majority vote by Confederate citizens in order to rejoin the Union. At this time, a vote like this could have gone very wrong as numerous states would not have the votes necessary to rejoin the Union. Since Lincoln vetoed this bill, it never happened, probably saving the Union a significant amount of problems.


<u>Bad: </u>Radical Republicans probably saw this as bad, as they felt Lincoln's "Ten Percent Plan" let the Confederate states of too easy. The Radical Republicans wanted the Wade Davis Bill to ensure that the Confederate states would be loyal to the Union from now on. However, when Lincoln vetoed this bill, many Radical Republicans felt that the Confederates would allowed to join the Union again without much punishment.
