What you are referring too is the Gettysburg address. But perhaps maybe you haven't heard it all over.
Lincoln explains in his speech that it is the soldiers who have given their lives, and who have fought with such valor in what they believed in, that have hallowed this ground. Soldiers on both sides, as the states which turned against the union, remained as stars on the union flag.
In other words, it is not the piece of paper that hallows the ground. Not the speech or any other source or action. It is the dedication of the men who fought there that hallowed that ground
If you wish to learn more about this, I recommend going to Gettysburg Pennsylvania just as I have. The town features great restaurants and attractions and you can learn so much from the museum and a trip to the battlefield.
Answer:
(Scalawag - 1840s) (Carpetbagger - 1865 -1877)
Explanation:
The term carpetbagger was used by opponents of Reconstruction—the period from 1865 to 1877 when the Southern states that seceded were reorganized as part of the Union—to describe Northerners who moved to the South after the war, supposedly in an effort to get rich or acquire political power.
The term scalawag was originally used as far back as the 1840s to describe a farm animal of little value; it later came to refer to a worthless person. For opponents of Reconstruction, scalawags were even lower on the scale of humanity than carpetbaggers, as they were viewed as traitors to the South.
The motives, at their core, was to basically conquer the world.
If I'm not mistaken the correct answer should either be A. or B. I'm leaning more towards A.
