Why do you think lincoln proposed this proclamation? who did it affect? how? did it really free all the slaves?

1 answer:

4 0

Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1 1863 as a means to follow up on his statement made in September of 1862. In this statement he threatened that any state rebelling against the Union and continued to do so would result in him freeing the slaves in their state. He followed up on this threat by signing this law.

Even though his intentions were good, this does not free any slaves. This is because the states rebelling against the Union do not seem themselves as American citizens who have to listen to the president. Rather, they see the Confederacy as a nation of its own, with its own laws and its own president (Jefferson Davis).

Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

Most often were domestic servants, is the right answer.

Geographic area, whether rural or urban, hugely influenced the lives of the enslaved. Those slaves who lived in the urban areas generally lived under more favorable circumstances than their rural counterparts. In the early phase of the 19th century, most of the enslaved labor performed the agricultural work in the Southern U. S. However, the urban slaves were employed in households as they were basically domestic servants.

What action did Jefferson do that may have been unconstitutional

AysviL [449]

The correct answer is the Louisiana Purchase.

While the President has the power to negotiate treaties, Jefferson likely got quite a bit ahead of himself when the land was purchased before the consent of the United States Senate.

Furthermore, the Federalists believed that the acquisition of territory itself might be unconstitutional.

Which of the following would be another way to describe the Seneca Falls Convention?

trapecia [35]

Answer: The site of the first women's rights convention in history.

The national meeting in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, was the first women's rights convention to be held in the United States, and was organized by women. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of the principal organizers of the gathering, and also was the lead author of an important document issued by what we now call the "Seneca Falls Convention." The Declaration of Sentiments was signed by 68 women and 32 men who had been among the participants in the convention. The document was modeled after Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. In the way that Jefferson had listed grievances against the British monarchy, the Declaration of Sentiments listed grievances against how man had oppressed woman in regard to civil rights. Here's a small sample of some of the "sentiments" which were expressed:

The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world:

He has not ever permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.
He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.
He has withheld her from rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men—both natives and foreigners.
Having deprived her of this first right as a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides.
