These professors were accused of being communist sympathizers. This resulted in their dismissal from the University of Washington. One of the biggest reasons why this was a big deal was due to the beginning of the Cold War and the start of the second Red Scare.

After World War II, the US and Soviet Union emerged as global superpower. As communism spread throughout Eastern Europe, US citizens were scared that this system would spread to the US. In order to prevent this from happening, institutions all over the country took action against supposed communists, including firing them from their jobs.

What was one reason why Lincoln pushed for passage of the Thirteenth Amendment?
Solnce55 [7]

The correct answer is:

A. Lincoln declared it was the South's punishment for starting the Civil War.

Explanation:

<em>The 13th Amendment of the American Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude</em>; it was ratified in 1865 after the Civil War and states:

  • “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

President Lincoln stated in two speeches that Southern states had caused the Civil War because<u> </u><u>they favored slavery and because of their secession from the Union</u>, his first attempt to abolish slavery was the <em>Emancipation Proclamation in 1863,</em> but it only freed slaves from the<u> Confederate States of America,</u> so<em> Lincoln pressured the Congress to pass the Thirteenth Amendment before Southern states were restored as part of the Union </em>so they couldn't vote against the amendment. President Lincoln did not lived to see the final ratification on December 6,1865 because he was assassinated months before.
