Best Answer

After the bombardment and surrender of the Federal Fort Sumter, US President Lincoln saw his duty of protecting Federal property and keeping the US from becoming a state of anarchy as a primary objective. Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to end the insurrection that was taking place in the seven Rebel states that had declared their independence from the US.With that said, it was clear that no other issue was as important as ending the Southern rebellion. He had no hidden agenda of abolishing slavery.

Yes. Washington left office in March of 1797. Lincoln took office in March of 1861 just 64 years apart. So there were a large number of people born in 1796 say, who were still very much alive in 1861. In fact, ex-president Martin Van Buren ,who was 16 when Washington left office lived for more than a year after Lincoln became president. Tyler was almost 7 when Washington left office and he not only lived to see Lincoln elected but was elected to Confederate Congress.

What is the difference between say and tell?

Both "say" and "tell" can have a direct object and an indirect object. The direct object is the words spoken, and the indirect object is the person to whom the words are spoken. However, with "say" you put the word "to" in front of the indirect object; whereas, with "tell" you do not: I say to you, "Hello". I tell you, "Hello". Also, with "tell" you ALWAYS have an indirect object. With say, you don't have to have an indirect object: I say, "Hello". I tell you, "Hello". (You would never say, "I tell, Hello".)
