How does paragraph 8 contribute to the development of ideas in the text?
Answer:
It describes how presidents can use the State of the Union to publicize their goals.
This is the correct answer because that paragraph talks about the way the United States President used the State of the Union Address to inform Congress and the American people about the situation of the country in politics, economy, security, and more.
But nowadays, the situation has changed and the US President uses public relations programs to appear before the media and tries to influence public opinion through mass media.
The tensions over the slavery caused conflict in America primarily because of the different political views on the matter, as well as the economy.
The North wanted to modernize, and to follow the example of the European countries that abolished the slavery, thus they wanted the slaves to be freed, and to be equal citizens in the society. Also, the North was industrialized, so they were really not dependent on slaves to keep their economy going.
The South wanted things to remain the same. They did not wanted the slavery to be abolished, but instead to remain as it is. The economy of the south was largely based on the plantations with different types of crops. Big portion of the work done on the plantations was done by the slaves, so if they were freed, that would mean that the plantations would either be left without enough laborers, or the former slaves would have demanded wages that would lower the profit of the plantation owners.
This disagreements eventually led to a bloody conflict, which ended up with a win for the North.
