6. The correct answer is D. Emancipation Proclamation.
To determine the answer, we need to understand what the 13th Amendment is and how the presidential orders listed relate to it. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States.
A. The Homestead Act, passed in 1862, provided land to settlers in the western territories but did not directly impact the 13th Amendment.
B. The Wilmot Proviso, proposed in 1846, sought to ban slavery in any territory acquired from Mexico but was never passed and did not directly impact the 13th Amendment.
C. The Lecompton Constitution, proposed in 1857 for Kansas, allowed slavery, but it was ultimately rejected by Congress and did not directly impact the 13th Amendment.
D. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, declared that all slaves in Confederate-held territory were to be freed. This directly impacted the 13th Amendment as it laid the foundation for the eventual abolition of slavery.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Emancipation Proclamation.
7. The correct answer is A. West Virginia had not yet been captured by Union Forces.
To understand why Lincoln excluded West Virginia from the effects of the Emancipation Proclamation, we need to consider the context of the Civil War and the status of West Virginia at the time.
A. West Virginia had not yet been captured by Union forces when the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1862. As a result, the proclamation did not apply to the state's slaves.
B. West Virginia did not threaten to secede if Lincoln freed their slaves too. In fact, West Virginia split from Virginia and remained part of the Union during the Civil War.
C. West Virginia was a Union state, but slavery was constitutionally protected in the North. However, this is not a direct reason for why West Virginia was excluded from the effects of the Emancipation Proclamation.
D. West Virginia did not have any slaves to be freed anyway. This is not the main reason why Lincoln excluded West Virginia, as the state did have slaves at the time.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. West Virginia had not yet been captured by Union forces.
8. The correct answer is D. By the end of the war, he had decided that the North should fight to end slavery in the South.
To determine how Lincoln's ideas changed over the course of the war, we need to examine his evolving beliefs about slavery and the North's objectives.
A. At the beginning of the war, Lincoln did not believe that the government should have a role in the northern economy. This perspective did not significantly change over the course of the war and is not an accurate reflection of Lincoln's evolving ideas.
B. Lincoln did not begin the war liking slavery but gradually learned to hate the institution. As a long-time opponent of slavery, Lincoln's stance did not dramatically change during the war.
C. Initially, Lincoln believed that slaves were inferior, but this misconception did not last throughout the war. It is important to note that Lincoln's views on race evolved, but this change cannot be specifically attributed to the course of the war.
D. By the end of the war, Lincoln had firmly decided that the North should fight to end slavery in the South. This transformation in his thinking is evident in his push for the passage of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery nationwide.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. By the end of the war, he had decided that the North should fight to end slavery in the South.
