Answer:

He wanted to weaken the South and help the North win the war.

Explanation:

Before the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln was focused on preserving the Union. This is why he does not originally address the issue of slavery. However, as the war changes his thoughts about the war and what is purpose was changed. This is why he tries to free slaves in the Confederate states using the Emancipation Proclamation. Even though the law does not technically free anyone, it gives a new energy to the Union cause.

Instead of fighting to keep the Union together, they are fighting to ensure that all citizens are free. Making this into a moral war ensured that no other country would support the Confederacy.

What does Romanticism mean

svet-max [94.6K]

There are two major ways to define this word show i'll show the two main ones...

Romanticism: The quality or state of being impractical or unrealistic mphaized by emotions.

When someone romanticizes something they make it more likeable and enjoybale than it actually was. An example of this is Pocahontas, people romanticize the story to make it look like they were lovers at a time of hardship and war, because that's more interesting than what actually happened. In reality because John Smith was in his 30s while Pocahontas was a ten years old and he made her come back with him to Europe to show that "The Natives of the New World Could be Civilized" and forced her to marry him, and her name also wasn't Pocahontas (Matoaka and she also went by Amonute, Pocahontas was her nickname.) This is a perfect example of Romanticism.

Another way to use the word Romanticism is when you're talking about the artistic movement in the late 18th century, which inspired artist to give more inspiration, subjectivity, and the primacy of the individual or thing they were painting. I'll include some pictures below.

yan [13]

Direct Answer :

If Mrs. Clark decides to watch a movie for two hours but could have finished test grading in those two hours, the test grading -- or the opportunity cost of this decision to watch a movie -- is the converse of her action.

Reason :

As we know that Mrs Clark thought of watching a movie that is two hpurs but during the same time, she could have finished the test grading. Tgere are two opportunities here- watch a movie or do test grade. As she should do the test grading, which is more important but watched a movie, her action got reversed.

Conclusion :

Therefore, we can say that the answer is converse.

Hope this helps!
