It is this mutual negative among its various conflicting interests, which invests each with the power of protecting itself;—and places the rights and safety of each, where only they can be securely placed, under its own guardianship. Without this there can be no systematic, peaceful, or effective resistance to the natural tendency of each to come into conflict with the others: and without this there can be no constitution.

The difficulty is not in stating the principle, but in practically applying it. It is a mistake to suppose the government is indifferent to this matter, or is not doing the best it can in regard to it. What does Lincoln mean when he says the difficulty lies not in the principle, but “in practically applying it”? Lincoln was appealing to freed slaves to fight on behalf of those still enslaved in the South. Lincoln objected to using African Americans as soldiers, as they were untested in battle. Lincoln knew the government should protect African American soldiers but was unsure exactly how it should do so. Lincoln wanted to convince African Americans that participating in the war would help them be free.

Its population was much greater — 22 million compared to 9 million. 1
Which statement does NOT describe conditions in the South during the Civil War? In 1863, thousands of hungry citizens, mostly mothers with children, rioted. The lack of an extensive railway system made it difficult to move men and supplies. The government issued approximately $1.5 billion in paper money during the war. A larger population provided a larger reserve of volunteers and men eligible to be drafted into the armed forces. 2 "During Reconstruction, the South was the victim of federal overreach and foolish racial policies.” Select the historian, or historical school of thought, that would agree with this interpretation of Reconstruction. William A. Dunning Eric Foner Social historians W. E. B. Du Bois 3 Choose the statement that was NOT a factor in the evolution of Abraham Lincoln’s views on race and slavery before the Civil War.

The Western territories should be organized to best promote harmonious interracial relations.
The Western territories should be equally divided between slave and non-slave states. The existence of slavery in Western territories should not be decided by popular sovereignty. Territories captured from Mexico should be returned to Mexico. 12 Consider the painting Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way, completed by Emanuel Leutze in 1861 and how it represents core beliefs behind manifest destiny. Choose the statement about the meaning of manifest destiny that is NOT represented in the painting. Westward expansion would guarantee the flourishing of the United States. The West was undeveloped and had limitless potential. Acquiring Western territory contradicted the idea of an “empire of liberty.” Western settlement was part of God’s divine plan for the country. 13 Read the statements about the Seneca Falls Convention and mark them as true or false. = Correct Answer = Incorrect Answer true false The Convention called for greater public recognition of women's contributions to the family. Attendees issued statements critical of the separate spheres doctrine.

Douglas; Democratic Party 18 All of the following statements describe a Southern argument for secession EXCEPT __________. “Individual states are recognized as separate but equal, and each has control over its own institutions.” “We are now a minority against a political party that threatens our economic system and way of life.” “We will move toward independence rather than be ruled over by a system that threatens our existence.” “The federal government has illegally seized properties within our states and under our jurisdictions.” 19 Which Civil War battle was the first meaningful confrontation between North and South, resulting in a Confederate victory that diminished Union hopes of a quick, decisive end to the war?
Antietam Gettysburg First Battle of Bull Run Petersburg 20 Consider the sketch published in Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper in 1867. This sketch, captioned “Selling a freedman to pay his fine, at Monticello, Florida,” highlights the limits that the black codes imposed on former slaves’ __________. voting rights social positions political affiliations economic opportunities 21 Which of the following was NOT a cause of westward expansion during the Civil War and Reconstruction? The Homestead Act offered free western land to anyone over the age of 21. Northern Congressmen pursued their vision of “free soil, free men, free labor” in the West after the South seceded. A transcontinental railroad was built from Chicago to Oregon. Each state was granted federal land on which to establish agricultural colleges. 22 Choose the false statement about Lincoln’s Ten Percent Plan.

Our movement is made up of free and escaped slaves, as well as White Northerners. Slavery will come to an end in our nation if we can convince the public it is a moral evil. Relocating slaves so that they have the opportunity to begin new lives is the honorable thing to do. We believe all African Americans have the right to become equal citizens in the United States. 25 Read the excerpt from an 1863 Frederick Douglass speech titled “Men of Color, To Arms!” A war undertaken and brazenly carried on for the perpetual enslavement of colored men, calls logically and loudly for colored men to help suppress it. Only a moderate share of sagacity was needed to see that the arm of the slave was the best defense against the arm of the slaveholder. What does Douglass mean by “the arm of the slave was the best defense against the arm of the slaveholder”? African Americans deserved to seek retaliation for their continuous enslavement. Slaves wanted to defend the Union against Confederate attacks in the North. Slaves should be allowed to arm themselves against a government that threatened their existence. African Americans were the logical choice to participate in the war against slavery.
