What is the main idea of this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The main idea of the excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address is:

The Southern states had no reason to worry for their personal freedom and well being.

<h3>Who was Abraham Lincoln?</h3>

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States from 1861 to 1865, when he was murdered.

The chosen option is the correct one because in the excerpt Lincoln explains how there were not reasons for the Southern states to fear for democracy.

I was able to find online the excerpt of Lincoln's First Inaugural Address and the options to choose from:

  • The Southern states openly flouted and defied the laws of the Constitution of the United States.

  • The Southern states were threatened by Lincoln’s fondness for the Northern states.

  • The Southern states’ authority was dwarfed by the emerging Northern states of the Union.

  • The Southern states handled their personal affairs of state in an immoral and unethical way.

According to Douglass How does Virginia law help show that slavery is wrong ?
Andre45 [30]

Answer :

According to Frederick Douglass in his book "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?", Virginia law helps to show that slavery is wrong by saying that in case a white person owns slaves, he is putting them to work for no particular reason at all, just on the basis of the color of the skin. It further implies that slaves are normal human beings, just like you and me.

What is the riskiest sexual behavior
USPshnik [31]
There is no riskiest sexual behavior, but there are a lot of risky sexual behaviors, depending on what you see as the risk. Sometimes pregnancy may be a risk couples are not willing to take. In that case, unprotected sex is risky for them. Then, at all times, there is the person in polygamous relationships with others who are in polygamous relationships too, during which he is having intercourse without protection. He is at high risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease such as HPV.
