Best answer:  Union troops had a greater reason to fight the Confederates.

Historical context/details:

President Abraham Lincoln issued The Emancipation Proclamation as an executive order on January 1, 1863. The executive order declared freedom for slaves in  ten Confederate states in rebellion against the Union.  It also allowed that freed slaves could join the Union Army to fight for the cause of reuniting the nation and ending slavery.  As summarized by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, "The Proclamation broadened the goals of the Union war effort; it made the eradication of slavery into an explicit Union goal, in addition to the reuniting of the country."

While Lincoln personally was strongly against slavery, he had to tread carefully in his role as president and commander-in-chief.  The Emancipation Proclamation was carefully worded in order to retain the support of four border slave states, which remained in the Union though they were states that permitted slavery, were  Maryland, Missouri, Delaware, and Kentucky.   Lincoln wanted to keep those states loyal to the Union cause.

The Emancipation Proclamation was also a way of blocking foreign support for the Confederate cause.  According to the American Battlefield Trust, "Britain and France had considered supporting the Confederacy in order to expand their influence in the Western Hemisphere. However, many Europeans were against slavery."  Britain had abolished slavery in its territories in 1833.  France had put a final end to slavery in its territories in 1848.  So when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, it also served as a foreign policy action to keep European powers out of the US Civil War, according to Steve Jones, professor of history at Southwestern Adventist University.

Gilgamesh's relationship with Enkidu teaches him many life lessons. Discuss two of the lessons that he learned on his journey. W
Vadim26 [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the ancients books or documents known to historians. It is probably the first one in the history of humanity. It relates to the life and adventures of Gilgamesh, in ancient Mesopotamia.

Yes, in the story, Gilgamesh's relationship with Enkidu teaches him many life lessons.

One of the lessons that he learned on his journey is the persistence to accomplish what you want, despite the toughest circumstances. The other lesson is that death is inevitable. It is part of the life of humans, It is the end of the trip.

Gilgamesh is presented as 1/3 human and 2/3 god while Enkidu is presented as half human and half animal before he is "tamed" because according to the story and the narrative of the Sumerians, it was the gods who came to earth from the sky. They were known to be giants and had special "knacks" or characteristics. When these gods married human women, then, they breed a rare mixture of humans with other species.

Those texts can be found in the famous clay tablets of the Sumerians.

Which best describes the state of the US economy of the 1970s?
siniylev [52]

The correct answer is C)Fewer jobs and lower wages gave Americans fewer resources.

The 1970's is a decade in American history that is categorized by turmoil and slow economic growth.The fewer jobs and lower wages are often attributed to the economic policies of presidents like Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. The inability of these two presidents to address the issue of inflation and fix the issues caused by the crisis with the organization that provided oil for the United States (OPEC) resulted in several different issues that negatively impacted the American economy.
