Answer:
Five Motives for Imperialism. Various motives prompt empires to seek to expand their rule over other countries or territories. These include economic, exploratory, ethnocentric, political, and religious motives.
The correct answer is:
A. Lincoln declared it was the South's punishment for starting the Civil War.
Explanation:
<em>The 13th Amendment of the American Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude</em>; it was ratified in 1865 after the Civil War and states:
- “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
President Lincoln stated in two speeches that Southern states had caused the Civil War because<u> </u><u>they favored slavery and because of their secession from the Union</u>, his first attempt to abolish slavery was the <em>Emancipation Proclamation in 1863,</em> but it only freed slaves from the<u> Confederate States of America,</u> so<em> Lincoln pressured the Congress to pass the Thirteenth Amendment before Southern states were restored as part of the Union </em>so they couldn't vote against the amendment. President Lincoln did not lived to see the final ratification on December 6,1865 because he was assassinated months before.
Imperialism was basically the tension over colonies. This was a widely recognized reason for starting off WWI. Colonies were places that were taken in to control by other ruling countries. This made countries more powerful and <span>dominant, so this is linked to alliances that were made back then.</span>
I believe the answer is c.1920. However, I could be wrong.
