Answer:

In a July 4, 1861 speech, Lincoln told the nation the purpose of America’s government was "to elevate the condition of men, to lift artificial burdens from all shoulders and to give everyone an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of life." He followed through with the passage of the Homestead Act, which remained active for 124 years until it was repealed in 1976, and resulted in 10 percent of U.S. land—or 270 million acres—to be claimed and settled.

The incentive to move and settled on western territory was open to all U.S. citizens, or intended citizens, and resulted in 4 million homestead claims, although 1.6 million deeds in 30 states were actually officially obtained. Montana, followed by North Dakota, Colorado and Nebraska had the most successful claims. Native Americans were forced from their lands and onto reservations to make way for homesteaders.

During a speech made in Ohio in February 1861, Lincoln said the act was “worthy of consideration, and that the wild lands of the country should be distributed so that every man should have the means and opportunity of benefiting his condition."

What does Senator Kaine argue is Congress's proper role in the war against ISIS?
murzikaleks [220]

The Democratic senator by the state of Virginia, Timothy Kaine, crossed out of illegal the decision of Trump to attack Syria.

"Trump's decision to attack Syria without congressional approval is illegal." The Senator argues that President Trump's Administration is based on a war approval of 2001, after the attacks of September 11. It is based on the fact that it is not possible to continue in this way after 17 years, and therefore proposes that the Congress revoke the 2001 authorization and work on a new authorization if necessary.
