1. What are some examples of early advanced civilizations in South America? Where were these civilizations based?
Answer: Hundreds of years before the arrival of European explorers, the ancient civilizations of South America developed rich and innovative cultures that grew in and amongst the geographic features of their landscape. The most famous of these civilizations is the Incan Empire. Emerging in 1438 C.E., the Incan Empire developed along the west coast of the continent, with the Pacific Ocean forming its western border, and the formidable Andes Mountains to the east, which provided a natural barrier from outsiders. The Inca relied on the Pacific Ocean and major rivers originating in the Amazon Basin for fishing and trade, as well as rich plant and animal life that they supported. The Inca constructed inns, signal towers, roads, and massive forts such as the famous Machu Picchu, the ruins of which continue to teach archaeologists about the Incan Empire.

Why it was important to Washington to keep America out of European affairs?
Upon becoming President of the United States, George Washington almost immediately set two critical foreign policy precedents: He assumed control of treaty negotiations with a hostile power—in this case, the Creek Nation of Native Americans—and then asked for congressional approval once they were finalized.
Answer:
Washington was leery of any such foreign entanglement, considering his country too weak and unstable to fight another war with a major European power.

What were the qualities that made Cato the model of the noble Roman?
Answer:
Marcus Cato was a humble person who, even after becoming powerful, didn't seek the life of luxury but stayed contented in wearing poor clothes and staying in a homely lodging. He also labored with his own hands (especially during summer time) and ate the same food with his servants. He was very eloquent and helped people without expecting anything in return. People considered him a good lawyer because he would always give good counsels. In addition to this, he was also considered a good father, an excellent husband and an extraordinary economist. Such depth of character made him the model of the noble Roman.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the chapter entitled, "The Life of Cato the Elder." Marcus Cato grew up carrying good habits. He knew how to balance life by taking care of his health and strength. He was always helping people who needed him. His behavior gained him so many friends and admirers.

Explanation:
Read the selection "Lincoln's Journey to Emancipation" and answer the following questions:
1. Most of us are familiar with the story of Lincoln, the unambitious rail-splitting man of the people. How
does Oates's biographical portrait of Lincoln reveal the complex human being behind this mythical image?
2. How was Lincoln able to reconcile his reverence/love for the founders and the Constitution with the
moral paradox of slavery in a free society?
3. What was the slave power that and many other feared the late 1850s? How had the events of that crucial
decade seemed to confirm their fears?
4. Oates says that the pressures and problems of fighting a civil war finally caused Lincoln to hurl an
executive fist at slavery. What were the forces that led Lincoln to issue his Emancipation Proclamation?
5. Many of Lincoln's contemporaries as well as later scholars accused Lincoln of having made an empty
gesture with the Emancipation Proclamation. How does Oates answer these accusations?
Answer
1. Abe LinColn has often been associated with mental disorders such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and psychopathy, both during his lifetime and after his death. Psychiatrists and psychoanalysts who have diagnosed Lincoln as having mental disturbance include well-known figures such as Walter C. Langer and Erich Fromm. The adult Lincoln was a "counteractive type," by which he meant a person primarily motivated by resentment and revenge in response to prior narcissistic wounding and profound feelings of inferiority. Pathological narcissism is in part a compensatory defense against these painful wounds and inferiority feelings. There is no question that Lincoln's personality included pathological narcissism or what you would call psychopathic narcissism, and may have met modern diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder.
2. Abraham showed his reverence/love for founders and the Constitution in a plethora of ways. He knew that the South would do anything to mitigate the rights of African-Americans, Lincoln even said this in one of his famous speeches, "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall". Lincoln knew that his beloved nation was at a stand fall. Abe believed the only way to get his nation out of this dogma, he would need to take charge. Another famous quote by Abraham Lincoln is, "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." Lincoln was a firm believer in uniting not only his nation, but the world surrounding it. Through this he would encourage unity and forgiveness for his people.
3. The extreme violence of Atlantic slavery made it a system of fear. From slaving vessels off the coast of Africa to interior regions of the American continents, masters deliberately terrorized enslaved people through whipping, family separation, and in attempts to control them. That use of terror inadvertently sowed the seeds of masters’ own fear of their slaves. Out of self-preservation, enslaved people used subtle forms of resistance that could not easily be ascribed to them but about which masters were glancingly aware. Masters worried that in time, if poison, witchcraft, or arson did not consume them, enslaved people would answer overt violence with overt violence through insurrection. Masters erected legal and policing apparatuses whose wellspring was their own fear and that permitted them within the confines of their homes to terrorize enslaved individuals with impunity. In this system of fear, masters’ dread of insurrection often led them to use even greater brutality, such as torture, dismemberment, and burning at the stake, to assert control after rebellions or even to preemptively quash uprisings that were rumored to be coming.
4. Although Secretary of War Edwin Stanton supported it, Seward advised Lincoln to issue the proclamation after a major Union victory, or else it would appear as if the Union was giving "its last shriek of retreat". In September 1862, the Battle of Antietam gave Lincoln the victory he needed to issue the Emancipation. Robert E. Lee near Sharps burg, Maryland, in the Battle of Antietam. Days later, Lincoln went public with the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which called on all Confederate states to rejoin the Union within 100 days—by January 1, 1863—or their slaves would be declared “thenceforward, and forever free.” From the first days of the Civil War, slaves had acted to secure their own liberty. The Emancipation Proclamation confirmed their insistence that the war for the Union must become a war for freedom. It added moral force to the Union cause and strengthened the Union both militarily and politically.
5. Oates had become infamous for his part in the Pottawatomie Massacre in Kansas in 1854 when he and his sons, in revenge for the burning of Lawrence Kansas by a pro-slavery band, hacked to death several men from a pro-slavery family in the dead of night. Oates had sworn an oath to break the jaw bone of slavery. Oates sought to inspire a slave revolt and failing that hoped to provoke a sectional crisis. Lincoln and the Republicans condemned the raid, but southerners claimed it was the natural result of Republican anti-slavery doctrine. While in jail, Oates transformed his image from that of “avenging angel” to sorrowful Moses. Evidence of financial abolitionist support for Stephen Oates’s raid and the sympathetic reaction in parts of the North to his execution, maddened the South. Many southerners feared that if a Republican were elected president, he would not send troops to suppress future abolitionist raids.
Explanation:
1. In "Lincoln's Journey to Emancipation," Stephen B. Oates portrays Abraham Lincoln as a man who first wanted to free slaves but reconsidered his position for political exigencies.
However, after the Southern States rebelled against the Federal Government with succession, Lincoln summoned the courage to end slavery, which he described as the highest form of injustice. He ascribed the Civil War as God's punishment of the United States for allowing slavery to continue until then.
2. Abraham Lincoln recognized that slavery was evil. He understood that the Southern States were engrossed in slavery for power and would not lightly give it up. He vowed to crush the disunity and in-congruence that slavery hoisted upon the United States.
3. The slave power refers to the conspiracy theory that slaveholders in the South had economic, social, and political influences that they could use to achieve unholy objectives contrary to the Constitution of the United States.
4. The forces that drove Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation included war-front victories and the need to demoralize and further weaken the Confederate Army by winning over the support of slaves in the war effort. By the Proclamation, Lincoln was able to sway support and win more decisive battles as slaves withdrew their support for the Confederacy.
5. Stephen B. Oates thinks that the Emancipation Proclamation was an art of political strategy mastery and acted as a pivotal moment in winning the Civil War by the Union.
Thus, while Lincoln's contemporaries and others regarded the Emancipation Proclamation as lacking in energy, Oates concludes that the Proclamation finally thwarted the social, political, and economic powers of slaveholders against the Federal Government.

Explanation:
-"Britain acknowledged the independence of the United States" is a political effect. This meant, that the British Empire would not have any interference in the public policy of the territories of the newly formed country.
-"Countries that participated in war agreed to repay debts to one another" is an economic effect.
