It is well known that Lincoln grew up in a family that was heavily influentiated by the Baptist church. However, he was very skeptic in his early years. He constantly referred to God and the Bible, and had a deep knowledge of it.

He became even more concerned with religion after two of his children passed away, and attended several Protestant church services with his wife. It's important to note that there is strong evidence that Lincoln didn't believe that Christ was God, but he did believe in a God, creator of all things in the universe.

This was a strong reason for Lincoln to use a lot of religious and biblical references in his speeches and writings as a president of the US, most particularly during the Civil War.

On July 31, 1846, he stated the following:

"...That I am not a member of any Christian Church, is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures; and have I spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general or of any denomination of Christians in particular" -Handbill Replying to Charges of Infidelity.

Hope this helps! Have a great week!

zhuklara [117]

The federal government supported the interests of big businesses over the interests of labor unions.

Unions became popular during the Gilded Age in the US during an industrial boom. The government supported the owners of business during this period and practiced free market capitalism.

During the Gilded Age, the government took a policy of free-market or laissez-faire capitalism. This means the government did not interfere or create regulation of the economic system. They tended to support the practices of corporations because they were wealthy and had power. Unions demanded higher wages, government regulation, and better working conditions. All of these demands went against the thinking of the time and would have cost the government money and the favor of the powerful in the country.

What were the contributions of the inca empire

stepladder [879]

The Inca empire was known for advances that bettered their community and kept balance from within. Some of the things that empires like the Inca used we still may use today.

The Inca had very advanced road systems that they used very frequently. These roads were used primarily for communication and trading goods. Communication, as you can imagine, was very hard back in those days. There was no phone or barely a good mail system, so if someone you knew lived far away, it would be very hard to keep in touch. There were certain message carriers, that would carry messages down these roads to different people.

The Inca also had a very complex government and taxing system. It is very hard to believe that civilizations so far back in time could keep track of things such as government and taxing, even though they didn't keep any written records or anything like we do today. The Inca is known for its complex, advanced, and well done government. This government was called the "Tawantinsuyu" and had numerous people keeping watch over the civilians and how much they paid in taxes, but had one ruler among everyone.

Empires, such as the Inca empire, had to do with many of our advances today and it is astonishing how much they accomplished back in that time.
