2 answers:

4 0

The Four Noble Truths, which include the Eightfold Path, describe the true nature of existence, and the means to live in harmony with that nature.

By tradition, the preaching of the Four Noble Truths was the first sermon given by the Buddha, after he became the Awakened One.

It could be said that The Four Noble Truths, and what they infer, are Buddhism itself. There are many traditions, schools, sects of Buddhism, but the Four Noble Truths are acknowledged in all of them, because they are foundational. They describe why Buddhism is needed, and what constitutes the essence of the practice of Buddhism. There may be various practices and ideas within Buddhism, but they are merely different expressions of the essence as expressed in the Four Noble Truths.

How did Lincolns policies on slavery change as the civil war continued

Makovka662 [10]

Lincolns originally said slavery should be preserved in its current colonies but shall not be expanded.
That was the politically popular/convenient thing to say without losing the election. 

Lincoln wanted to keep the union together and if that meant keeping slaves in the South so be it. 

When the emancipation proclamation came to his desk, he re-examined the political climate and decided to do what was morally right despite political backlash.
