While many still debate the causes of the Civil War, author James McPherson said that, "The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states. When Abraham Lincoln won the election in 1860 as the first Republican president on a platform pledging to keep slavery out of the territories, seven slave states in the deep South seceded and formed a new nation, the Confederate States of America. The incoming Lincoln administration and most of the Northern people refused to recognize the legitimacy of secession. They feared that it would discredit democracy and create a fatal precedent that would eventually fragment the no-longer United States into several small, squabbling countries."

How does this quotation express the idea of a “Lost Generation”?
maks197457 [2]

The correct answer is It expresses a hopelessness about life.

Gertrude Stein, who invented this term, used it to name a group of artists who were in France in the final years of the First World War, using the country as a refuge for their creative manifestations, philosophical discussions and literary creations. The Lost Generation became popular in a Hemingway novel called The Sun Also Rises and in his memoir, A Moveable Feast.

Although formed by several artists, the group was best known for the literary works that it produced in the period. On the list of famous authors of the Lost Generation are T. S. Eliot, John Dos Passos, Waldo Peirce, Sherwood Anderson, Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. In addition to them, another personality mentioned as part of this generation is James Joyce, who has his novel Ulysses as one of the most important at this time. Within this generation, there is a lot of influence of jazz on literary compositions, as this musical style was emerging in the United States and influencing other countries.
