He had a well-shaped head - not the "bullet" type of many pugilists - and dark hair which was turning gray. He carried this head at a proud angle which gave emphasis to his prominent jaw. His face was somewhat florid, so that even without knowing who he was, on would have said "Here is a man who has been a hard drinker." He had a fine mustache in the old tradition. Starting below his nostrils this mustache, a few shades grayer than his hair, extended in leisurely fashion over his lip and all the way across his face on both sides. The under edges were a trifle ragged and the curl at the ends was upward. He had a custom of snorting sometimes, as he was about to say something, after which he would stroke his mustache, first on one side, then on the other. I got the idea that this stroking business acted as a sedative on him. . . .

He talked with a perceptible, but not pronounced, brogue. When he became excited, however, this brogue grow thicker. He made small errors in grammar, which stamped him as a man of little education, but remembering how brief his education really was, one had to admit that he talked remarkably well. . . .

"Well, there's nothing to fighting, " he opened up, "Just come out fast from your corner, hit the other fellow as hard as you can and hit him first. That's all there is to fighting."

He laughed, then at once grew serious.

"What I should like to talk about is something else. Whiskey! There's the only fighter that ever really licked old John L. Jim Corbett, according to the record, knocked me out in New Orleans in 1892, but he only gave the finishing touches to what whiskey had already done to me. If I had met Jim Corbett before whiskey got me I'd have killed him. I stopped drinking long ago, but of course, too late. Too late for old John L., but not too late for millions of boys who are starting out to follow the same road

ryzh [129]

The correct answer is B) Congressional leaders wanted to restore the Union as quickly as possible.

<em>What was not a primary motivation for Republicans to promote congressional reconstruction over those policies proposed by Lincoln and Johnson is: " Congressional leaders wanted to restore the Union as quickly as possible."</em>

US Congress did not share the same Reconstruction ideas of President Lincoln and Jackson. Let's have in mind that after the Abraham Lincoln assassination, Andrew Jackson became the president of the United States and continued with the Reconstruction process. Some Radical Republicans did not support the considerations for the southern states that the President had in mind.

What the Congress wanted to with the confederated states was first, that the policy of Reconstruction should be in the hands of Congressmen. Then, representatives and Senators thought that the southern states should be punished for their crimes against the Union and the destruction of so much property. And of course, they wanted to limit the power and faculties of southern states.

The other options of the question were a) Congress felt that Reconstruction policy should be under its authority, c) Congress wanted to punish the south for its crimes against the Union, and d) Congressional leaders wanted to keep southern states out of power.

Triss [41]

You didn't attach the map you were shown, but I can tell you what that map would look like.

Israel had gained control of several sections of territory which they had not previously controlled. In the south, Israel now held control of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula (which had been held by Egypt). Along the Jordan River, Israel now controlled the region known as the West Bank (which was a region where Palestinians lived). In the north Israel had taken the Golan Heights away from the control of Syria.

In negotiations after the war, there were thoughts of returning land for peace, but that really only has happened in the case of Israel's relationship with Egypt. (Israel and Egypt signed a lasting peace agreement in 1979.)
