Lincoln had spoken against the Mexican-American War
Gentlemen
In view of the desire that we all have in building a strong and unbeatable nation, I have the honor to cordially invite you to the Constitutional Convention, where we will discuss the negative points of the Articles of Confederation and the need to create a new document, where these points repaired.
The articles of the confederation do not allow our beloved congress to have sufficient power to apply the necessary guidelines in our territory, in addition the articles keep the congress economically deficient, which confronts our army, deregulates our trade and does not make us a unified country, united and responsible. I believe that this goes against the reasons that made us fight for our independence and ends up leaving us in a situation as weakened as the one we had before in the hands of the British empire.
However, I recognize the concern of some of you to modify the articles, for this reason, your presence at the convention is so important, because we will be able to listen to you and discuss all the impressions and wishes of delegate, reaching a better conclusion on this subject .
Regarding the trip, we recognize that the journey can be expensive, but remember that our country is in our hands and the decisions we make now will be crucial for our future and should justify the reason for our separation from the English domain.
For this reason, I strongly urge you to respond to the invitation and that together we can form the unbeatable nation that we owe to America.
Answer:
Your answers are correct! B A and C
Explanation:
1- The United States Congress declared war on May 13, 1846. Americans from northern states and whigs (Republicans) generally opposed the war, while southern slavers and Democrats supported it.
The elements of anti-slavery in the north feared the expansion of the power of the slavers. The Whigs, in general, were interested in being able to strengthen the US economy through industrialization, not in acquiring more territory. Among the most strongly opponents in the House of Representatives was John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts. Adams for the first time made known his concern to expand the US territory in 1836 when he opposed the annexation of Texas. He continued with his arguments until 1846 for the same reason that the acquisition of territory in the south of the country would add territory to the slave states.
2- Both the agricultural sector and the textile industry were the main income producers of the state of South Carolina.
The predominance of the primary sector and the basic industry was the common denominator of the southern United States, whose economic development depended on a large percentage of African slaves, because it took a large amount of labor to develop these activities.
3- In 1860, the abolitionist Republican Abraham Lincoln won in the presidential elections of that year. South Carolina, fearing that Lincoln would definitively abolish slavery in the country, decided to separate from the United States. The state did so on December 20 of that year, being the first US state to separate itself from the rest of the country. Subsequently, ten other states would also be separated from the United States, and immediately joined to form the Confederate States of America.
