The main idea of Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address is that both the Union and the Confederacy were responsible for the Civil War. The second inaugural address was held at Washington D.C in 1865. From the excerpts, both the Union and Confederacy did not initially want to go to war but wanted to be victorious.

Thanksgiving - Wampanoag: Thanksgiving is a popular holiday in the United States. But before the Europeans came, the Wampanoags were doing Thanksgiving beforehand, and ate dishes that we still eat on Thanksgiving today; cornbeard, turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, etc.
Hockey - Sauk, Foxes and Assiniboine: Hovkey was originally called "Shinny", and was played with a ball made of buckskin and a curved stick. Unlike in the modern world, you can play either floor hockey or ice hockey, these Native American groups only played it in the winter.

The item in the list which was <u>NOT</u> a justification for increased US involvement in Vietnam:
<h2>To keep North Vietnam aligned with the United States.</h2>
Explanation:
North Vietnam never was aligned with the United States. The US was aligned with and fought on behalf of South Vietnam. North Vietnam was controlled by a communist government and was seeking to unify Vietnam under communist control.
US foreign policy in those years was one focused on fighting communism. Domino theory was a major idea in US thinking at the time. Domino theory proposed that the spread of communism in Vietnam would result in other countries in the region falling like dominoes to the influence of communism.
The event that sparked a major increase of US involvement in Vietnam was the allegation of attacks on US naval ships in neutral waters in the Gulf of Tonkin. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a measure passed by US Congress that allowed the US President to make military actions, like increase troops, without formal declaration of war. The resolution was passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. The key wording in the resolution said:
- <em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>
That resolution served as a blank check for President Lyndon Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war. Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.
Missouri
This event is referred to as Bleeding Kansas and took place when Kansas was voting on whether or not to be a slave state.
Kansas had been granted popular sovereignty meaning they were allowed to vote on whether or not the state would be a slave or free state. Abolitionists flooded the state to encourage citizens of Kansas to vote to be a free state. However, Missouri being a slave state was concerned about being located next to a free state, so people from Missouri crossed the border and attempted to vote for slave status. While there, they got into large riots with abolitionists hence the name "Bleeding Kansas".
