Lincoln uses the metaphor of the wolf and the sheep to say that the Confederates had a different conception of freedom than those of the Union.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was one of the most prominent politicians in the history of the United States who served as the 16th President of the United States of America. He was a tireless leader of the states of the Union during the Civil War.

He is known for making a metaphor regarding the concept of freedom that the Confederate states and the states of the Union had because he considered that the Confederate states, like a wolf, had a conception of freedom that violated the freedom of others ( the sheep).

According to the above, it can be inferred that Lincoln refers to the Confederate States as the wolves of the Civil War because they wanted to impose slavery without thinking about the rights of slaves, while the States of the Union were the sheep because they wanted to. freedom for all.

Lincoln used the metaphor in order to provide the difference between Union and Confederate understandings of liberty and freedom.

Lincoln use the metaphor of the wolf and the sheep in order to illustrate the difference between Union and Confederate understandings of liberty and freedom because both Union and Confederate have different ideology towards freedom and liberty. The freedom and liberty for one group is the captivity or subjugation for the other group.

Lincoln goes on to explain that his policy of emancipation is viewed as the same way as the wolf and sheep so we can conclude that Lincoln used the metaphor of wolf and sheep in order to provide the difference between Union and Confederate understandings of liberty and freedom.

How would the world be different if the Columbian Exchange never happened?
miss Akunina [59]

When Europeans first touched the shores of the Americas, Old World crops such as wheat, barley, rice, and turnips had not traveled west across the Atlantic, and New World crops such as maize, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and manioc had not traveled east to Europe. In the Americas, there were no horses, cattle, sheep, or goats, all animals of Old World origin. Except for the llama, alpaca, dog, a few fowl, and guinea pig, the New World had no equivalents to the domesticated animals associated with the Old World, nor did it have the pathogens associated with the Old World’s dense populations of humans and such associated creatures as chickens, cattle, black rats, and Aedes egypti mosquitoes. Among these germs were those that carried smallpox, measles, chickenpox, influenza, malaria, and yellow fever.

The Columbian exchange of crops affected both the Old World and the New. Amerindian crops that have crossed oceans—for example, maize to China and the white potato to Ireland—have been stimulants to population growth in the Old World. The latter’s crops and livestock have had much the same effect in the Americas—for example, wheat in Kansas and the Pampa, and beef cattle in Texas and Brazil. The full story of the exchange is many volumes long, so for the sake of brevity and clarity let us focus on a specific region, the eastern third of the United States of America.

As might be expected, the Europeans who settled on the east coast of the United States cultivated crops like wheat and apples, which they had brought with them. European weeds, which the colonists did not cultivate and, in fact, preferred to uproot, also fared well in the New World. John Josselyn, an Englishman and amateur naturalist who visited New England twice in the seventeenth century, left us a list, “Of Such Plants as Have Sprung Up since the English Planted and Kept Cattle in New England,” which included couch grass, dandelion, shepherd’s purse, groundsel, sow thistle, and chickweeds. One of these, a plantain (Plantago major), was named “Englishman’s Foot” by the Amerindians of New England and Virginia who believed that it would grow only where the English “have trodden, and was never known before the English came into this country.” Thus, as they intentionally sowed Old World crop seeds, the European settlers were unintentionally contaminating American fields with weed seed. More importantly, they were stripping and burning forests, exposing the native minor flora to direct sunlight and to the hooves and teeth of Old World livestock. The native flora could not tolerate the stress. The imported weeds could, because they had lived with large numbers of grazing animals for thousands of years.

Cattle and horses were brought ashore in the early 1600s and found hospitable climate and terrain in North America. Horses arrived in Virginia as early as 1620 and in Massachusetts in 1629. Many wandered free with little more evidence of their connection to humanity than collars with a hook at the bottom to catch on fences as they tried to leap over them to get at crops. Fences were not for keeping livestock in, but for keeping livestock out.
