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
B) Bold but concerned
C) Optimistic but timid
D) Resigned and dejected

WORLD SCIENCE DAY.....

Celebrated every 10 November, World Science Day for Peace and Development highlights the significant role of science in society and the need to engage the wider public in debates on emerging scientific issues. It also underlines the importance and relevance of science in our daily lives.

Students attending schools with mandatory uniform policies experience less pressure than do students who must choose their wardr
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

On average, school uniforms cost $150 a year, which is much less than the average spent on back-to-school clothes.

Explanation:

As seen in the given passage, the author's main claim is that the introduction and use of uniforms in schools is a much better option for both parents and the students. The uniforms will enable the students to not only dress the same but also give them much more time to focus on their studies.

And in the argument that mandatory school uniforms are the basis of equality in a school, the author states that this move <em>"save(s) money and time"</em>. This argument can be supported by the statement that <em>"financial investment in uniforms at the beginning of the school year is far more economical than the purchase of an entire wardrobe of designer clothes and trendy styles."</em> So, the fact that <u>spending $150 a year for school uniforms is much more economical than the average spending on back-to-school clothes best supports the author's claim/ position. </u>

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
