Question

Help please! Medal and Fan!

Answer 1

Step 1: Study this excerpt from the speeche given by Lincoln.

A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved—I do not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.

—Abraham Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois, June 16, 1858

Answer 2

Step 2: Respond to questions.

Analyze the excerpt from Lincoln’s speech by answering the following questions in one paragraph:

What is Lincoln’s point of view regarding the future of the country?
Which statement from the excerpt shows his point of view?
Explain how the selected quote shows Lincoln’s point of view.
What is an historical idea or event that supports Lincoln’s point of view?

Answer 3

This is what I have so far. I need the last question.

Lincoln was trying to say that if we divide we may fall. The statement “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” shows his point of view. I chose that part, because it basically sums up the point he is trying to get across.

Answer 8

Your first paragraph is correct. Do you still need help with the others?

Answer 9

I need the last question for the paragraph

Answer 10

and yes there is a second part

Answer 11

So you need to know: What is an historical idea or event that supports Lincoln’s point of view?

Answer 12

I believe that the Union can only be preserved by maintaining inviolate the Constitution of the United States as our fathers have made it. That Constitution guarantees to the people of every State the right to have slavery or not have it…each State being left free to decide for itself. The framers of that Constitution…well understood that each one of the thirteen States had distinct and separate interests, and required distinct and separate local laws and local institutions.

—Stephen A. Douglas, Springfield, Illinois, June 17, 1858

Analyze the excerpt from Douglas’s speech by answering the following questions in one paragraph:

What is Douglas’s point of view regarding the Constitution?
Which statement from the excerpt shows his point of view?
Explain how the selected quote shows Douglas’s point of view.
What is an historical idea or event that supports Douglas’s point of view?

Answer 13

Yes!

Answer 14

Ok, well the Emancipation Proclamation supported his views on this topic heavily. It was the declaration where he declared all slaves free :)

Answer 15

ok thank you! Can you help me with the second part or no?

Answer 16

Yeah I'll do my best!

Answer 17

Thank you!

Answer 18

Alright, so from the paragraph, what do you think the answer to the first question is?

Answer 19

I'll give you a hint, we can see it in the lines "That Constitution guarantees to the people of every State the right to have slavery or not have it…each State being left free to decide for itself."

Answer 20

He was trying to say that he thinks people should have a choice.

Answer 21

???

Answer 22

Yes that is right :) You can use that quote to answer the second question. (and the third)

The last question would be, I think, the idea of Abolitionists.
