Answer 1

The Emancipation Proclamation, excerpt

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION.

I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States, and each of the States, and the people thereof, in which States that relation is, or may be, suspended or disturbed.

That it is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tendering pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all slave States, so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States and which States may then have voluntarily adopted, or thereafter may voluntarily adopt, immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery within their respective limits; and that the effort to colonize persons of African descent, with their consent, upon this continent, or elsewhere, with the previously obtained consent of the Governments existing there, will be continued.

Answer 10

Answer 11

to make or form of decent

Answer 12

One thing that is important with questions like these is eliminating options.
Which one of them does not match colonize? Start by seeing what does NOT match first. It will eventually lead you to the correct one that makes most sense.

Answer 13

settle and infiltrate canceled out?

Answer 14

hello?

Answer 15

Those are some answers you can rule out! That leaves you to decide between 3 more. Build
Establish
Populate
Using the definition on the site I posted, can you rule another one out?

Answer 16

Yes settle is out, and I think we could eliminate infiltrate as well. Because colonize means to CREATE a group, while infiltrating kind of means to permeate. Almost in the sense that it couldn't be helped, if you understand.

Answer 17

build?

Answer 18

Build couldn't be one because look at how it is used in the sentence. "effort to colonize persons of African descent" How do you build a person? So that one is ruled out.

Answer 19

so that leaves me obviously with establish ?

Answer 20

Yes, establish and populate.
Those are the two that are left that would almost the answer.
Which sound right to you? @Cinthia_orozco53115 :)

Answer 21

ummmm populate ? im pretty sure right?

Answer 22

Actually, my inclination would be more towards establish.
Unless @neonumbrella5115 has a different opinion that makes more sense.
I mean to me, when you colonize....you are establishing. Aren't you?

Answer 23

thank u sooo much ! you guys think you guys can help me with one more question ?? please... and yeah i believe you that sounds more like it

Answer 24

I would also say establish, because the goal of the Emancipation proclamation was to establish African Americans as equal human beings.

Answer 25

I'd be happy to try and help with another :)

Answer 26

thanks

Answer 27
