Read the excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. What does he mean when he says, “we cannot dedicate—we cannot consec

rate—we cannot hallow, this ground”?
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

A. He is waiting for a religious leader to consecrate the ground properly.
B. He is convinced that the soldiers died in vain.
C. He thinks that the soldiers themselves consecrated the ground with their sacrifice.
D. He feels that the ground cannot be dedicated until the war is over.

The correct answer is the following: <em>option C. When Lincoln expresses that "we cannot dedicate-we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow, this ground" it means that he thinks that the soldiers themselves consecrated the ground with their sacrifice.</em> He is stating that the men who fought and die in battle are the ones who made a greater act than the living could ever afford to perform, they are the one who had blessed the land in which the lie upon now, with their bravery and sacrifice.

What information does the historical account provide that might answer why moctezuma became a prisoner of his own palace
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

B. Moctezuma demanded tributes and victimized his people.

Explanation:

From the passage, we discover that his people resented to his demands for tribute and victims of the religious sacrifices. Such resentment from his people weakened his conquest.

When any people are against their rulers, it is difficult for such ruler to enjoy freedom and exercise his authority. I believe this played out when the people began resenting  Moctezuma.  

He demanded tributes and victimized the people but that worked against him and made him a prisoner in his own palace.
