Answer:

The gold standard is a monetary system based on gold.

Explanation:

The gold standard is a monetary system based on gold. Countries who adopt the system link their value of currency or paper money into a fixed amount of gold.

The gold standard is often used during times of economic downturn, for example, the U.S. started using it in 1933 during the Great Depression, at a time when people did not trust any financial institution and the atmosphere was filled with high speculations about the value of the American currency and other nations' in the near future. Consequently, the government decided to use the gold standard as gold was the strongest asset. Nowadays, no nation uses this type of system.

In his inaugural address, Lincoln promised not to interfere with the institution of slavery where it existed, and pledged to suspend the activities of the federal government temporarily in areas of hostility. The main point of Lincoln's second inaugural address was to claim that both the South and North had to share some of the blame for the sin of slavery. Throughout the address, Lincoln doesn't talk about retribution or punishment; themes that were expected by many in the North. Instead, he calls for peace among all Americans.
