History

6 0
Lincoln often said that he had believed slavery was wrong for as long as he could remember. In a speech in Chicago on July 10, 1858 Lincoln said he of slavery: “I have always hated it, but I have always been quiet about it until this new era of the introduction of the Nebraska Bill began.” We see him as a strong leader who wanted to abolish slavery from the start of his presidency. However, there is another side of Lincoln that isn't well-known. He felt that restoring the Union was much more important that freeing the slaves.
At the beginning of Lincoln's presidency, he wanted reunification at any cost. He strove to avoid a civil war over the issue of slavery and urged to seceded states to rejoin the rejoin the Union. He felt strongly that saving the Union was his primary job. In his inaugural address, he stated, You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to ‘preserve, protect and defend' it. Lincoln felt that seceding from the Union was an illegal act, and it was his job to get the states back in the Union. Lincoln was personally opposed to slavery, but at this point in his presidency, he didn't want to interfere with pre-existing slavery.

Verizon [17]

Economists refer to the polarization of the labor force when middle-class jobs requiring a moderate level of skills, like autoworkers' jobs seem to disappear relative to those at the bottom, requiring few skills, and those at the top, requiring greater skill levels.

<h3>What causes a polarized society?</h3>

Social polarization is the segregation within a society that emerges when factors such as income inequality, real-estate fluctuations, and economic displacement result in the differentiation of social groups from high-income to low-income.

what did the slogan “no taxation without representation” mean and why was it rallying cry for the colonists
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

no taxation without representation meant that parliament should not be able to tax people if they do not have representation on parliament. It was a rallying cry for the colonists because as British colonies Great Britain claimed that members of the British parliament also represent them but they wanted a representative from the colonies who actually knew what the colonists wanted. The crown refused to give them their own representative so they did not want to be taxed.
