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.

10. What splits the Eastern plateau?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Mountains (IF THIS IS AFRICA)

Explanation: . It is subdivided into a number of zones running north and south and consisting in turn of mountain ranges, tablelands and hollows. The most striking feature is the existence of two great lines of hollows, due largely to the subsidence of whole segments of the Earth's crust, the lowest parts of which are occupied by vast lakes. Towards the south the two lines converge and give place to one great valley (occupied by Lake Nyasa, or Lake Malawi), the southern part of which is less distinct due to rifting and subsidence than the rest of the system.

What three branches of government does Montesquieu say must be separated to have liberty
gregori [183]

Answer:

Legislature, Executive and Judiciary

Explanation:

In the 18th Century Montesquieu said that these three branches of government should exercise only its function, and that would lead to what he believed liberty is.

In its major work, the Spirit of Law (L'Esprit de Lois, 1748), for the first time, he emphasized the idea of the separation of powers into executive-administrative, judicial and legislative, as is still known today in the practice of democratic states. He is also known for his concept of federalism. In the aforementioned section, he also talked about how different geographical conditions can influence the character of the rule. Many of his ideas will be found in the French Declaration on the Rights of Man and Citizen.
