PLEASE HELP!; Read this quotation from Lincoln, and then answer the question. What was Lincoln saying about the government?
It could not continue to be divided by slavery.
It needed to make slavery legal in every state.
It would never stop being divided by slavery.

It could not continue to be divided by slavery.

Explanation:

We can rule out the middle choice because we know Lincoln advocated to end slavery, not legalize it. He is saying that the land could not survive if it continued to be divided over slavery, but he doesn’t say that it couldn’t ever stop being divided and reunite, as implied by the last option. The top one implies that the nation could not survive as it was unless there was change, which still left a possibility, and matches most closely to Lincoln’s quote.

in november 1781, john hanson became the first president of the united states in congress assembled, under the articles of confederation. many people have argued that john hanson, and not george washington, was the first president of the united states, but this is not quite true.

explanation:

frederick william of brandenburg-prussia trained his son, frederick, to be a hardy soldier. but frederick disliked rifle shooting and horseback riding. unlike his father, he was interested in french literature. he enjoyed poetry and music and, like some others of the enlightenment, he scoffed at religion. his father thought him soft, frivolous and unmindful of his duties. and when frederick refused to put his signature on a right to succession, for a few moments his father strangled him.
