Answer:

At the outset of the Civil War, President Lincoln had not spoken out specifically on issues relating to slavery, but on the contrary, had established that abolition of slavery was not one of the mainstays of the Union, but the maintenance of national unity.

Now, as the years and battles progressed, this position was mutating, and in 1863 President Lincoln made his Emancipation Proclamation, by which he freed all the African-American slaves that were in the southern states that were falling into the hands of the Union, urging in turn that they join the northern cause.

Thus, through these types of policies, President Lincoln was including slaves and abolitionists within his political position, leaving the Confederation in ideological check.

The correct answer is D, that to encourage people to take action against widespread corruption

The "Muckrakers" were crusading journalists, authors and photographers who published their work in order to raise awareness on social issues and injustice. Other muckrakers highlighted the deficiencies in the political system. Their newspapers, articles and photographs led to the formation of influence groups sparking a series of reforms during the Progressive Era (1890 - 1920). Raising awareness of social injustice, corruption and inequality and the abuse of political power was their main goal in order to bring about the reform.
