Answer:

(i) First, it is important to remember the context. America was in the midst of a bloody civil war. Union troops had only recently defeated Confederate troops at the Battle of Gettysburg. It was a the turning point in the war. The stated purpose of Lincoln’s speech was to dedicate a plot of land that would become Soldier’s National Cemetery. However, Lincoln realized that he also had to inspire the people to continue the fight.

Below is the text of the Gettysburg Address, interspersed with my thoughts on what made it so memorable.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

“Four score and seven” is much more poetic, much more elegant, much more noble than “Eighty-seven”. The United States had won its freedom from Britain 87 years earlier, embarking on the “Great Experiment”.

(ii) The Emancipation Proclamation and Thirteenth Amendment brought about by the Civil War were important milestones in the long process of ending legal slavery in the United States. This essay describes the development of those documents through various drafts by Lincoln and others and shows both the evolution of Abraham Lincoln’s thinking and his efforts to operate within the constitutional boundaries of the presidency.

What was one result of the independence movements in latin america during the 19th century
vredina [299]

Answer:

The 19th Century Independence movements in Latin America led to the creation of numerous independent countries.

Explanation:

Most countries were fighting against the rule of the mighty Spanish Empire which had colonized the region for several centuries.

However a couple of countries were also fighting against the Portuguese.

By the end of the 19th century, many nations came into being including, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia and many others.

The new young countries were still vulnerable to outside influence and as Spanish power declined, many other European nations were waiting to fill the power vacuum.

In response, the United States developed the Monroe Doctrine, stating how it will not tolerate any interference of European countries in the Western Hemisphere.
