ted States more broadly
History

Genrish500 [490]3 years ago

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

It is well known that President Lincoln did not profess any religion. But later in his life, a couple of personal incidents, such as the deaths of his sons and the beginning of the American Civil War, made Lincoln seriously reflect on the issue of the existence of God.

We can say that the role of religion in Lincoln's understanding of the war was that he questioned if the faith of the Union could be on the hands of a supreme being called god.  Historians consider that Lincoln has two main topics to reflect on. If God had a specific purpose to allow the war between people of the same country, and number two, what could be god's idea on the issue of slavery.

The role that religion played in his understanding of the United States more broadly was to consider that there could have been an ulterior motive for the issue of war. He accepted the idea that probably neither side, Confederates, and the Union, could be right. That a moral or religious lesson was part of the war equation that affected and divide the nation.

That is why in one of his speeches, Lincoln mentioned that "A house divided against itself cannot stand," paraphrasing a quote from Jesus of Nazareth. Indeed, the speech was known as "the House Divided speech."

How was marxism looked upon by society
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

It has it supporter and it has its criticism.

Explanation:

For marxism to be implemented, people need to increase government control in the economy. The ownership of private property will be either eliminated or extremely limited and all resources will be handled by the government. So rather than competing in free market competition, society as a collective will decide what people can and can do in the economy and the distribution of resources will be controlled by the government.

Supporters of Marxism argue that this will eliminate income disparity and social class in society. It is true , to a certain extend. Since the government is dividing the resources, almost no people will receive more than the others.

Critics of marxism argued that this will make government becomes too powerful and provide no incentive for the people work. If people are not rewarded with the ability to own private property,  we will not attract enough people to fill jobs with high difficulties and requirements.
