Read Abraham Lincoln's Letter to fellow Republican James T. Hale. In this letter, President Lincoln suggests a compromise with t

he South’s demands to keep the Union from falling apart.
Confidential. Hon. J. T. Hale Springfield, Ill. Jan'y. 11th 1861.

My dear Sir—Yours of the 6th is received. I answer it only because I fear you would misconstrue my silence. What is our present condition? We have just carried an election on principles fairly stated to the people. Now we are told in advance, the government shall be broken up, unless we surrender to those we have beaten, before we take the offices. In this they are either attempting to play upon us, or they are in dead earnest. Either way, if we surrender, it is the end of us, and of the government. They will repeat the experiment upon us ad libitum. A year will not pass, till we shall have to take Cuba as a condition upon which they will stay in the Union. They now have the Constitution, under which we have lived over seventy years, and acts of Congress of their own framing, with no prospect of their being changed; and they can never have a more shallow pretext for breaking up the government, or extorting a compromise, than now. There is, in my judgment, but one compromise which would really settle the slavery question, and that would be a prohibition against acquiring any more territory. Yours very truly, A. LINCOLN.

Which words best describe Abraham Lincoln's tone in the letter?

A.) nervous and insecure

B.) bold but concerned

C.) optimistic but timid

D.) resigned and dejected

should other people opinions affect our own choices or destinies ? ( 8 - 10 sentences explaining why or why not ) pls help me w
Virty [35]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Other people’s opinions shouldn’t effect our own choices or destines but there is no way for them not to. What others say shouldn’t influence our actions, decisions, or future especially if it doesn’t effect them in the long run.If a decision has to do with your life you’re the only one who can make a decision about what happens with it. Someone’s opinion should only matter in a situation if the situation has to do with them. Even then it depends on the situation for how highly you weigh their opinion. You can listen to someone’s opinion but their opinion shouldn’t be the sole reason a decision was made. Contrary to that people’s opinions will always influence things we do weather it’s going against someone’s opinion or catering to it. In society opinions are things people worry about constantly and effect highly on everything we do so it’s really hard to out run them. In general opinions shouldn’t dictate anything in someone’s life, but they constant are. It just matters if the person decides if their own opinion matters more than others.
