They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and w

ith it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident...Yours truly,A. LincolnReview the sentences in bold.

In this question, we do not know what the sentences in bold are. However, this is not necessary in order to understand the meaning of the passage.

In this passage, Abraham Lincoln describes his thought process when it came to dealing with the issues of the Civil War. He tells us that he was faced with a difficult decision, as he needed to decide whether to admit that the Union was lost and that the Confederacy should leave, or to focus his efforts on the "colored element." This refers to slaves. He argues that he chose the latter.

This indicates that President Lincoln did not want the Union to split up. The Confederacy had left the Union because of several disagreements, mainly the issue of slavery. However, Lincoln was unwilling to accept that the Union could be disintegrated and that the South could chose to not follow the Constitution. He acted in accordance with these goals.

I need a paragraph, to write about the fifteenth amendment ! well explained please. Please help asap .
aev [14]
The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Although ratified on February 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th Amendment would not be fully realized for almost a century. Through the use of poll taxes, literacy tests and other means, Southern states were able to effectively disenfranchise African Americans. It would take the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before the majority of African Americans in the South were registered to vote.

I hope this helps! Ask me if you need anything else! :))

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer:

This is the differences between the the Constitution and the Articles of Confederation. I hope this helps.

Explanation:

There were key differences between the two documents in the how they both codified the law. The Articles of Confederation established a unicameral legislature, as opposed to the eventual bicameral system created by the Constitution. Voting power was delegated to states based on committees (consisting of anywhere from two to seven people) and each state had one vote in the Articles of Confederation; the Constitution allowed for a single vote for each legislative representative (for each state, two Senators and a number of House representatives based on census population). Furthermore, the Constitution created the Executive Branch of government, establishing a figurehead department of the government that was still held accountable to public scrutiny. In the grand scheme of things, the Constitution did more to centralize authority in a single political entity, rather than rely on the more lax union created by the Articles of Confederation.
