Why I Don't Make New Year's Resolutions:
The thing about New Year's resolutions is that it's similar to saying "I'll do it tomorrow". Some people say "hopefully next year I lose weight and exercise", see it sounds like a nice goal, but half the time it's just a method to push doing it farther back. It's not supposed to be a deadline that you extend and I get tired of seeing people do that because that means they won't do it here and now.
If you want to get something done, do it now. Not tomorrow, not the day after, and definitely not next year. If you have the time to dream to do this next year, then why can't you do it now? (This applies to the people that truly have time to make these improvements and meet these goals.)
Sorry if this isn't the best, but I hope this helps.
Doing research is useful for gathering details
To evoke a sullen response, someone could punish another person.
Because the Constitution could sanction emancipation only as one of the war powers, freeing slaves could only be justified as a means of winning the war and suppressing the Southern rebellion. As a result, until the very end of the war Lincoln claimed that the purpose of the war was the restoration of the Union.
