Answer:

Some of President Lincoln's ideas have been considered contradictory because, during his presidency, he made many decisions that were different from what he had previously expressed on the subject.

Thus, for example, although during his discussions with Senator Douglas, Lincoln defended a gradual limitation to slavery in the country, he flatly refused to be abolitionist; but in 1863, through his Emancipation Proclamation, he abolished slavery in the territory of the United States.

To understand these contradictions, we must take into account the greatness of President Lincoln as president and as a human being. Without a doubt, it was a president who tried to maintain the unity of America as a nation, and made decisions that he did not ideologically share but understood necessary to maintain that union.

In 1788, why was Austrias army made of many different speaking soldiers, to ultimately attack itself and lose 10% of the entire

Viktor [21]

Because Austria's army in 1788 was not one single and unified fighting force. Rather, Austria's army (Which at the time was not called Austria but the Habsburg Empire) was composed of squads from many smaller nations that were found in the Habsburg Empire. Because there were strong nationalist tendencies among these, they spoke differently and this eventually lead to big differences among different groups and attacks between each other.
