Read Abraham Lincoln's Letter to fellow Republican James . Hale. In this letter, President Lincoln suggests a compromise with th

e South's demands to keep the Union from falling apart.
Confidential. Hon. J. T. Hale Springfield, III. Jan'y. 11th 1861.

My Dear Sir- Yours of the 6th is received. I answered it only because I fear you would misconstrue my silence. What is our present condition? We have just carried an election on principles fairly stated to the people. Now we are told in advance, the government shall be broken up, unless we surrender to those we have beaten, before we take offices. In this they are either attempting to play upon us, or they are in dead earnest. Either way, if we surrender, it is the end of us, and of the government. They will repeat the experiment upon us ad libitum. A year will not pass, till we shall have to take Cuba as a condition upon which they will stay in the Union. They now have the Constitution, under which we have lived over seventy years, and acts of congress of their own framing, with no prospect of their being changed; and they can never have a more shallow pretext for breaking up the government, or extorting a compromise,than now. There is, in my judgement, but one compromise which would really settle the slavery question, and that would be a prohibition against acquiring any more territory.
Yours very truly, A. LINCOLN.

Which words best describe Abraham Lincoln's tone in the letter?


A) Nervous and insecure

Why did the US enter WWI? Write one paragraph
Virty [35]

Answer:

The U.S entered WW1 for several reasons. The U.S entered for two main reasons: one was that the Germans had declared unlimited German submarine warfare and the Zimmermann note. The German had totally disregarded the international laws protecting neutral nation’s ships by sinking neutral ships. We warned the Germans one too many times and they did not take us seriously so in 1917 we finally had enough and we joined the war.

The Germans had decided that they would sink any ship they wanted without warning even if it was a merchant ship. This had upset the Americans because they soon started losing

many American lives even though they were neutral. One of the worst incidents was the sinking of the Lusitania, a British luxury liner which the Germans sunk without first warning the ship. The Germans had killed 128 Americans that were on the luxury liner. After that incident the Germans sunk the Arabic and Sussex and created pledges with the United States saying that they would not sink anymore unarmed ships and would visit and search. The Germans how ever would go back on their pledges causing the U.S to get involved.

The Germans had sent the Zimmermann note to the German ambassador in Mexico but was intercepted and decoded by the British. It was then sent to the U.S and given to Wilson. This note helped the U.S enter the war. Wilson showed this note to congress to so that he would be allowed to arm merchant ships and then enter the war to fight germany.

Note: This is alot but all the main points are in this so break it down

Write a paragraph that contains a topic sentence, a summary sentence, and three supporting sentences. Be sure to use transitiona
Murrr4er [49]
This was the answer to a previous question I helped someone with, so I am just copy-pasting it here since it fits all the criteria of your question:

     English should be America's national language because the population percentage of people who do not speak English at home are at 19.7 percent, leaving 80.3 percent to full English speakers. Even though Europeans came later, its populace of Europeans grew faster and larger than had it been elsewhere. In conclusion, the English language should be declared as the number one language because it is spoken more throughout the country, and it's developed new accents in interior states.

Here are some transitional words and phrases to help you in the future: likewise, however, although, on the contrary, in view of, in detail (for example), another key point, etc. You can find more transitions on http://www.smart-words.org/linking-words/transition-words.html. Good luck!

What is one reason that roger williams wrote a key into the american language?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Roger Williams was known as a believer in separating Church from State and he was noted for his tolerance of racial and religious differences. One reason why he decided to write a key into the American Language, was so that settlers would be able to communicate more effectively with Native Americans; as a promoter of tolerance and equality, Williams helped promote more stable interactions between settlers and Native Americans.
