Answer: Choice C.
They worried that Lincoln would try to end slavery in the United States.
==========================================================
Explanation:
The issue of slavery was debated and fought over for many years before the election of 1860. It was only until Lincoln became president that sparked the southern states to secede, which led to the Civil War. Proof of this is found in the many Declaration of Secession documents produced by each state that left the union. This is basically a document explaining why they left the United States to form the Confederate States of America (CSA) aka the Confederacy.
In modern times, some people mistakenly claim that the Civil War wasn't over slavery but rather states' rights. This is simply false. The documents I mentioned prove that slavery was the core issue. More proof is the various states having issues with the fugitive slave act, in that the northern states didn't really adhere to the law to the level of the southern states' liking. I guess you could argue that states' rights were involved, but specifically the south fought to have the right to own slaves. In short, it's all about getting the correct context. Expanding that context, simply look at the decades preceding the war and notice all of the tension involving whether a new state was a free state vs a slave state.
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "B. rich men come and go, but farmers can't be replaced." In The Deserted Village the poet says that rich men come and go, but farmers can't be replaced.
Here are the following choices:
A. rich men suffocate easily and peasants always want something
B. rich men come and go, but farmers can't be replacedC. wealth lasts forever, while men decay
D. princes should never be allowed to rule
The "Manifest Destiny" is a representation of an idea that justifies United States massive expansion throughout the 19th Century. It states that it was part of the plans of God that the United States, as a superior, dominated all of America, and the Americans of the United States were blessed. There was a national feeling of accomplishment and a political tendency of Economic Nationalism.
The expansion started with the Westward settlement of Americans and by the support of the 1787 Northwest Ordinance, there was the possibility of annexation of new states. Since then, the United States had a significant growth of its original territory, mainly through the following ways:
- Wars for territories (e.g Mexican-American War)
- Broken treaties with Indians (that limited the territory of Indian occupation)
- Purchase of territories (e.g Louisiana Purchase)
The annexation of the new states implied that they were settled in a condition of "Free" or "Slave" state, according to the region they and the politics of the place. This, along with the different political views and need of homogeneity of federal decisions (a feeling that the North was benefited by federal laws and decisions.) created a sectarian feeling on the country that led later to the separation of the United States of America (Northern, predominately free states) to the Confederate States of America (predominately slave states), and ultimately led to the Civil war in the 1860's
We can say Manifest Destiny united the people of United States in a general feeling of prosperity, in a kind of religious way, but divided the states itself , because of the need of the new states "identity" to be determined.
Being “Christian” is a very debatable topic as there are many religions under being a Christian like Catholicism, Baptist , and Lutheran or even non denominational. The most important belief of Christianity overall is the Belief in God the Father the son and the Holy Spirit, many other beliefs are following the will of God and putting your life and trust in his hands not only just believing, but allowing yourself to be saved and accept yourself as a sinner for God will too. Being Christian is not something as basic as going to church you must follow the way of God and put your heart, soul, and mind into trusting in him and being anxious to learn more and grown yourself as a better person and Christian.
