Hi

The purpose for Michael Rutledge writing about his great-great -grandfather's experiences in Samuel's Memory is to remind people of the suffering American Indians endured on the Trail of Tears.

In Samuel's Memory the author tells the story of his great-great grandfather, a then 9 year-old boy called Samuel Cloud and his experience on the Trail of Tears. His purpose to tell this story is  to remind people of the suffering American Indians endured on the Trail of Tears.

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
