Assuming you're pro-Columbus day, these are points that can be made:
Being historically accurate, Columbus day should be celebrated because he attempted and was successful at colonizing and helping America grow.
A common argument trying to counter being pro-Columbus day is the mention of killing Native Americans, so you can mention that diseases had already existed and were the primary cause of death in the New Land rather than Natives being killed (keep in mind though that disease and murder were both factors).
Another Pro argument that could be made is the fact that yes, vikings DID find America first, however Columbus helped Americas economy, etc.
Assuming you're anti-Columbus day, these are more points:
What Christopher Columbus did to Native Americans is unjust, essentially he took land from the Natives and they were forced to convert and change their lifestyle in order to work with Columbus or were killed; brutality is unacceptable.
The day itself should be focused on the Native American victims of Columbus.
The vikings technically found the New Land.
I hope this helped a little! :)
Answer:
(1) Executive power of "necessary and proper"--Lincoln was able to legislate from the Oval by use of executive order and in this case as Commander in Chief of the army. Lincoln used the Emancipation Proclamation as a means to control the message of the Civil War, boost morale, and target the Southern labor force.
(2) President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the country moved toward its third year of the wicked common war. The announcement proclaimed "that all people held as slaves" inside the defiant states are, and henceforward might be free."
(3) Lincoln recognized that the Emancipation Proclamation would have to be followed by a constitutional amendment in order to guarantee the abolishment of slavery. The 13th amendment was passed at the end of the Civil War before the Southern states had been restored to the Union and should have easily passed the Congress.
(4) On September 22, 1862, Lincoln announced publicly that he would issue the Emancipation Proclamation as encouraged by the Union victory at Antietam. Emancipation Proclamation is a decree freeing all enslaved persons after January 1, 1863, in the states still in rebellion. Enslaved African Americans were freed by the Proclamation only in the states which had war with the Union. It did not free slaves in the border states. The proclamation changed the dispute over preserving the Union into a war of liberation.
Hope this helps you :) =)
The drought was the very worst, ah ah
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
It was months, and months of back and forth, ah ah
You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore
Hung my head, as I lost the war, and the sky turned black like a perfect storm
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
There was nothing left to do, ah ah
When the butterflies turned to dust, they covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof, ah ah
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing
You didn't provide any reasons so it's hard to pick a specific answer. However, the reason why the colonists were extremely angry with Great Britain were the imposing of all these unnecessary taxes. There was the Tea Act, the Stamp Act, etc. All of these taxes were what drove the colonists crazy.
