Answer: D. armed conflict with the Southern soldiers.

Knowing the fort was running out of supplies, Lincoln announced his plan to send three unarmed ships to relieve Fort Sumter rather than sending a military expedition to reinforce and resupply, because he wanted the Confederacy to understand this action was not meant to be an attack, but an attempt to peaceably land provisions only.

Discuss missionary movements in the modern period. What were their characteristics? What was their relationship with colonialism

Aloiza [94]

The modern period can be counted from around 1500 AD.

For example, the missionaries in Mexico did not initially agree that the pagans had souls and were not protecting them from violence from the state. A lot of missionary work (in Mexico too) was state-sponsored and state-imposed, as the colonial powers saw it as increasing their status among other countries.
