The water enters the xylem first by osmosis. Water moves from the soil to the root hair cell down a water potential gradient, and to the root cortex cell from a higher water potential to a lower water potential, this process will be repeated until water enters xylem. Because transpiration is occurring in the leaf, water is lost so there is a lower water potential inside the leaf. Osmosis moves water from the xylem to the leaf because the xylem has a higher water potential. Water moves from the xylem to the cells of the leaf. This pulls water up the xylem via cohesion which is the process of water molecules attracting each other and sticking together. Water does not fall down the xylem as here is adhesion which is the process of water molecules sticking to the inside of the xylem.
Which of what? could you be more clear?

The US elections of 1860, one year before the civil war.
Explanation:
Letter to the editor,
Dear sir,
Never before in the history of this once proud and united country have elections divided this country in two. As the Democratic Party´s disagreement over the oficial party policy on slavery very clearly shows (with a Southern Democratic candidate and a 'normal' Democratic one), the deeply felt ideological split between the Northern and the Southern States has now, although Abraham Lincoln is chosen as the President, become a fact. This means that we, the United States of America, are no longer United.
