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.

why did hamilton believe that paying off the states wartime debts was important for the future of the nation

Genrish500 [490]

Today, the national debt that Hamilton began with a bank loan of $19,608.81 is the largest single entry on any set of books in the world. The federal government pays $19,608.81 in interest on its current debt every 2.4 seconds.

What would Hamilton think of his creation today? He would surely be impressed with its sheer size, although he would note that relative to the American GDP, about $14 trillion, it is "not excessive." But he would, I suspect, not be happy with what borrowed money is being used for. Hamilton saw the debt as a powerful means of fighting wars, building infrastructure, and getting through economic bad times. For the last 30 years and more, however, the national debt has been increasingly used so that no one in Washington ever has to say no to anyone.

Describe the backgrounds and philosophies of Patriots and Loyalists. Why did colonists with such diverse individual interests un

Sidana [21]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In colonial American times, previous years of the beginning of the Revolutionary War of Independence, Americans were basically divided into two groups: Patriots and Loyalists. Colonists with such diverse individual interests united in support of their respective causes because problems were so many and the division started to polarize even more.

Patriots supported the idea of Independence from England, meanwhile, Loyalists thought that the colonies wouldn't be the same without the support of the English crown.

Patriots wanted to achieve liberty and independence by winning the war. Loyalists tried to maintain things as they were because they always supported the King of England.
