William H.Seward was a famous lawyer and politician. He was born in New York, USA. He served as the United States Secretary  of State between 1861 and 1869 and as Governor of New York between 1839 and 1842 .

In 1858 he delivered an important speech which was later known as "<em>the irrepressible conflict" </em>speech. During this oral presentation he adressed the slavery issue.

The so-called irrepressible confict was considered between the oposing forces and the enduring forces. This means the ones that support slavery and the ones that do not.  

On slavery, Seward believed that a decision should be made urgently. He was in total opposition to the slave system. He described this as unfair,not human at all. Furthermore, he pointed at the irony that it made no sense having <em>free states</em> but on the other hand having <em>slave states.</em>

Gekata [30.6K]
In order to maximize profits ,many businessmen in the 19th century resorted to unethical business practices and thus earned the name robber barons. They did not physically rob people but they stole control over natural resources, paid unfairly low wages and pushed out their competition using questionable business practices . While their practices weren't viewed as ethical, most of the 19th century robber barons didn't commit any illegal acts, though through their actions, new laws were enacted to prevent others from following their actions.

Mandarinka [93]
The correct answer is "exaggerated the truth about the event."

Very shortly after the USS Maine sunk, it was reported that the ship sunk due to an attack by the Spanish. The newspaper headlines blamed the Spanish completely and portrayed them as evil. Due to this propaganda, many American citizens supported the US getting involved in the affairs of Cuba and Spain. This would become known as the Spanish-American War.
