Do you think Lincoln possessed the power to free the slaves in the seceded states? Why or why not?

1 answer:

7 0

Lincoln had only one reason to fight: to save the Union. In time, however, there was another reason to fight: to free the black people held as slaves in the South.

Today, Kay Gallant and Harry Monroe continue the story of how President Lincoln dealt with this issue.

VOICE ONE:

Lincoln had tried to keep the issue of slavery out of the war. He feared it would weaken the northern war effort. Many men throughout the North would fight to save the Union. They would not fight to free the slaves.

Lincoln also needed the support of the four slave states that had not left the Union: Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri. He could not be sure of their support if he declared that the purpose of the war was to free the slaves.

Which of the following describes a key difference between feudalism in Europe and feudalism in Japan?

Naddik [55]

The answer choice that best describes a key difference between feudalism in Europe and feudalism in Japan is D. In Europe feudal lords owned all their lands, while in Japan the peasants owned the land they worked.

<h3>What is the key difference between feudalism in Europe and feudalism in Japan?</h3>

The European knights gained land from their lords as a reward for fighting for them and their interests; they had direct control of the serfs that did the work on the land, however, the Japanese samurai did not own any land.

With this in mind, we can give a broad definition of the term "feudalism" and this means the medieval system in Europe of land ownership between a lord and his vassal.
