Answer:
In this my latest blog on the history of Irish America, I go back again to the 19th century and to the life of the Irish-born editor and political commentator, Edwin Lawrence Godkin. Now a forgotten figure, in his heyday between the 1860s and 1890s he was influential and well-connected, numbering the writer Henry James among his many prominent American friends and associates.
During the British General Election of 2017, a leading politician caused a brief media stir (and a dash to consult reference books on 19tth century American history) by dismissing an opponent as a 'mutton-headed old Mugwump'. Could he, perhaps, have been thinking of the prominent Irish Mugwump, Edwin Lawrence Godkin?
It was some years ago while I was researching an article on Irish-born journalist, William Howard Russell's newspaper reports from the Crimean War (‘Men at War: 19th century Irish war correspondents from the Crimea to China' in History Ireland Vol. 15, No. 2, March/April 2007) that I came across E. L. Godkin, who was born in Moyne, Co. Wicklow in 1831 and studied at Queens University, Belfast. He was the son of a Congregationalist Minister who was dismissed from his post on account of his support for the repeal of the Act of Union and his association with the Young Ireland movement of the 1840s. Rev. James Godkin was a significant figure in his own right, who advocated agrarian and church reform, two hotly contested political issues in 19th century Ireland. During his career as a journalist, he became editor of the Dublin Daily Express and Irish correspondent of the London Times.
Edwin Godkin evidently inherited his father's literary bent. He was still in his 20s when he published a sympathetic and well-regarded history of Hungary in which he eloquently described the influential conservative Austrian statesman, Prince Metternich, as 'one of the ablest high priests that ever ministered at the altar of absolutism."
Godkin made a name for himself reporting on the Crimean War for the London Daily News. His reports from the battlefront contain more gore than glory. Here's how vividly he described the aftermath of the fighting at Eupatoria in February 1855.
"Men lay on every side gashed and torn by those frightful wounds which round-shot invariably inflict. Here a gory trunk, looking as if the head had
been wrenched from the shoulders by the hand of a giant …another cut in
two as if by a knife and his body doubled up like a strip of brown paper."
After his return from the Crimea, Godkin worked in Belfast for the liberal newspaper, the Northern Whig and then left for the United States in 1856. In the period before the Civil War, he paid a visit to the American South which he viewed unsympathetically. On the issue of slavery, although he had little feeling for its victims, he was unequivocal. It was, he said, a "foul and monstrous" wrong.
At the end of the Civil War, Godkin turned his hand to the newspaper business and became the co-founder and editor of The Nation (whose title recalls the Young Ireland movement's journal that Godkin would have remembered from his youth), a weekly publication based in New York which has been described as "the most influential liberal weekly" during America's gilded age. Godkin edited the Nation until 1881 when it merged with the New York Evening Post which he went on to edit from 1883 until 1899 when he retired from journalism.
During his years in journalism, Godkin was a combative, controversial figure much given to polemical forays. Although the Nation's original backers were individuals with radical views, Godkin and the paper he edited took an increasingly conservative stance. The paper's motto was: 'to govern well, govern little.' He argued that Government "must let trade, and commerce, and manufacturers, and steamboats, and railroads, and telegraphs alone". Government's job as he saw it was simply to maintain order and administer justice. As an influential editor, he campaigned for low tariffs, a hard currency, civil service reform, independence in politics and international peace while battling against his prime political phobias: imperialism, profligate spending and corruption in government.
Godkin's most influential phase was as a proponent of the Mugwump movement, whose star shone briefly during the closing decades of the 19th century, but failed to make a lasting impact on the US party system. The Mugwumps were a group of high-minded, middle class, reformist Republicans who were appalled by the machine politics and the graft that flourished in American cities in the latter part of the 19th century.
The Mugwumps made their most significant contribution to American politics when they turned their backs on the Republican candidate, James G. Blaine, and helped Grover Cleveland become the 22nd President of the United States in 1884. Cleveland was the first Democrat to be elected President since James Buchanan (1857-1861).
C.
Godkin viewed the blacks who were placed in charge of the government in the south as ignorant and inexperienced.
E.L. Godkin described the blacks as ignorant and that they lacked experience.
He also said that the blacks broke their oaths of allegiance to the United States, and that the whites in Southern states would have done the same thing if they had got the chance of doing it by finding themselves in the elevated office.
This was against the custom of the Southern States, to put their ablest men, who had the highest social standing and character in office.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
At Border Cave, cooking, light, and warmth were advantages to the H*mo Sapiens that lived in that region approximately 200 000 years ago.
Borde Cave was located in the Lebombo Mountains in South Africa. It was a rock shelter or a refugee for H*mo Sapiens where they could have a warm place to spend the night and cook their food. This cave is on the border to Swaziland.
Anthropologists have found skeletons in the cave that confirm that H*mo Sapiens inhabited that region.
Do you think Thomas Paine's writing was persuasive enough to convince colonists who were still undecided about going to war with Britain? Use details from the text and your own logical reasoning to explain your answer.
Common Sense by Thomas Paine is a very influential piece of literature and laid down the facts, making people want to claim their independence from Great Britain. Many people who were undecided during this time also ended up wanting to become independent from Great Britain after reading Common Sense.
Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense to be very persuasive. To start Common Sense off, Thomas Paine writes, "In the following pages I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments and common sense..." This was very simple and appealed to people who maybe didn't know if they would be smart enough to read his work. Paine assures them that everything he writes about is simple and plain, with common sense.
Paine goes on later to say how they don't need Great Britain to flourish and they can be entirely independent on their own. He believes that people who think they are depending on Great Britain and really need them are incorrect and the facts prove them to be wrong.
By Thomas Paine writing Common Sense, many people started to realize they could in fact be independent. In just a couple of months, Common Sense sold a hundred thousand copies. It also helped influence the Declaration of Independence.

enlist Americans still loyal to the British crown.
3. It led them to commit many more soldiers and resources to the effort
4. It Inspired direct overtures for peace and an offer of independence by the British

It led to a greater effort to enlist Americans still loyal to the british crown
Tq
It led them to commit many more soldiers and resources to the effort. Thus, option 3 is the correct option.
The Battle of Saratoga, a turning point in the American Revolutionary War, resulted in a significant defeat for the British army. The surrender of General Burgoyne's forces to the American troops at Saratoga convinced the British that the war would not be easily won. This decisive American victory, coupled with the entrance of France into the war as an ally to the American colonies, forced the British to reassess their strategy.
In response, the British government decided to commit more soldiers and resources to the conflict in order to suppress the rebellion. They believed that by increasing their military presence and efforts, they could regain control over the American colonies and secure victory. The Battle of Saratoga and the French entrance into the war forced the British to take the conflict more seriously and escalate their commitment to the fight.

Excerpt from National Union Free Convention’s “How shall We End the Rebellion—Shall We Coax It, or Crush It?” 1864
AMERICANS! Here you have two plans for ending the Rebellion, restoring peace, and preserving the Union. They differ in every essential feature. They agree in scarcely anything. Here are some of their points of contrast:
1. The Chicago platform says not one word in condemnation of the Rebellion or of those who have wrapped the nation in the flames of civil war. The Baltimore platform brands the Rebellion as a gigantic crime, and demands the punishment of the rebels and traitors who have brought it on. With which do you agree?
2. The Chicago Platform proposes that the Rebellion be stopped by IMMEDIATE EFFORTS FOR A CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES on the part of the Government. The Baltimore Platform proposes to "quell it by FORCE of ARMS." The first is Surrender—the last VICTORY! Which do you prefer? . . .
4. The Chicago Platform says not a syllable against the rebellion, but denounces, with intense bitterness and venom, everything the Government has done to put it down. The Baltimore platform applauds and upholds the Government in its efforts to subdue the rebels, and promises continued support in this endeavor. Which is the most patriotic? . . .
7. The Chicago Platform has not a word to say against slavery, which has caused the war, and which is to be the cornerstone of the new Confederacy the rebellion seeks to establish. The Baltimore Platform brands it as a curse to the country, and calls for its complete extirpation from the soil of the Republic, at the hands of the people, through an amendment of the Constitution. Which is the wisest and best for the country?
Use the excerpt to answer the question.
Answer: A. the Wade-Davis Bill, because it was harsher on the rebels
Explanation:
Based on the tone of the text, one can tell that the author of this excerpt is on the side of the Baltimore platform which calls for tougher actions against the Confederacy.
We see this in their use of favorable language towards the Baltimore platform but negative language towards the Chicago platform for instance using ''surrender'' to describe Chicago and ''victory'' for Baltimore.
In this regard, they would support the Wade-Davis bill which was more stringent and harsher on the rebels as it called 50% of white males in the Confederate states to swear an oath of loyalty for them to be readmitted back into the Union.
It also called for Black Americans to have the right to vote which goes in line with the Baltimore platform's stance on slavery.
