Homework Lecture Six
1. The main goal of the newly elected President Lincoln was to save the Union.
2. The purposes of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution were to abolish slavery, give all races equal rights, and give all races the right to vote.
3. My favorite military figure from the Civil War was General Grant. He knew how to use every advantage he could get, and he won the war.
4. I would have rebuilt the South, brought the states back into the Union, and get the South back into the Legislative Branch.
5. Since Lincoln was homeschooled he probably had better control over himself then someone from a public school.
6. I think someone who was in support of McClellan made the cartoon. The cartoon shows Lincoln running away from the White House and McClellan walking in.
7. The Cartoon is showing Columbia protecting the Chinese immigrants from the anti-Chinese-immigrant crowd. Should the Chinese stay or go.
8. H1. I prefer inflation to deflation. In deflation is the rising of prices, but he economy is not crashing. When deflation happens, the economy crashes. Inflation is encouraged more by a “hard money” standard because the value of the dollar decreases.
9. Mystery: Did George McClellan scorn Abraham Lincoln because he was homeschooled? George McClellan probably would not scorn Abraham Lincoln because he was homeschooled. Homeschooling was pretty common back then. He probably scorned Lincoln because Lincoln did not have as great an education as he had. McClellan graduated West Point in the top five of his class. He probably thought he was a better man and knew more than Lincoln ever could.
10. H3. Abraham Lincoln was a great man. He was very intelligent. When he became president, he knew what had to be done in order to preserve the Union, and he took the right actions. Not every president would have declared war on its own country.
