Answer: c. to establish his credibility as someone who has disobeyed laws he doesn't agree with.

Ethos is a rhetorical device in which the author makes an appeal to morality. The author tries to establish his credibility through the use of moral examples in order to convince his audience. Henry David Thoreau makes an appeal to ethos in his text by describing how he lived by his own ideals. Thoreau preached civil disobedience, specifically in the form of tax avoidance. He makes an ethical claim by living in this way and personally refusing to pay his taxes.

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Lincoln sent an expedition to look for suitable locations for a fort, find a route to the southwest, and to investigate the possibility of gold mining. The expedition set up a camp at the site of the future town of Custer; while Custer and the military units searched for a suitable location for a fort, civilians searched for gold, and it is disputed whether or not any substantial amount was found. Nonetheless, this prompted a mass gold rush which in turn antagonised the Sioux Indians who had been promised protection of their sacred land through Treaties made by the US government,[2] and who were later to kill Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn in the Great Sioux War of 1876–1877 between themselves and the United States.[1]
