Which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address shows that he believed the union was forced into war to ensure
that the country remained united?
on the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. all dreaded it-all sought to
avert it. while the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the union without war, insurgent agents were
in the city seeking to destroy it without war-seeking to dissolve the union, and divide effects, by negotiation. both parties deprecated war, but one
of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. and the war came
one eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the union, but localized in the southern part of it. these
slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. all knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. to strengthen, perpetuate, and
extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the union, even by war, while the government claimed no right to do more
than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained.
neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph,
ible, and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it
may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just god's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us
judge not that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully

freeborn women in ancient rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office. because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by roman historians. but while roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. exceptional women who left an undeniable mark on history range from lucretia and claudia quinta, whose stories took on mythic significance; fierce republican-era women such as cornelia, mother of the gracchi, and fulvia, who commanded an army and issued coins bearing her image; women of the julio-claudian dynasty, most prominently livia (58 bc-ad 29), who contributed to the formation of imperial mores; and the empress helena (c.250–330 ad), a driving force in promoting christianity.

women in the ancient greek world had few rights in comparison to male citizens. unable to vote, own land, or inherit, a woman’s place was in the home and her purpose in life was the rearing of children. this, though, is a general description, and when considering the role of women in ancient greece one should remember that information regarding specific city-states is often lacking, is almost always from male authors, and only in athens can their status and role be described in any great detail. neither are we sure of the practical and everyday application of the rules and laws that have survived from antiquity. we do know that spartan women were treated somewhat differently than in other states. for example, they had to do physical training like men, were permitted to own land, and could drink wine.
