"If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him?"

Answer 10

If I remember correctly:

Logos refers to persuading someone using logic.

Answer 11

@Starr_DynastyT Please do not give direct answers. It's against the CoC on OpenStudy.

Answer 12

Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning.
Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author.
@leahhhmorgannn is correct

Answer 13

"One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease."

What is the purpose of this passage from President Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address?

to explain where slavery existed
to explain why the cause of conflict was resolved before the war ended
to explain how slavery was restricted
to explain the causes of the war and its longevity
