Why was the election of Lincoln in 1863 or whatever it was the last straw for the South? I know he was republican, but why did they secede immediately after his election? And if you know can you explain the Wilmot Proviso, Kansas-Nebraska Act, and umm the expansion into Oregon country

This is 100% serious, which ONE would you choose to be in:

1) A world in which good is rewarded.

2) A world in which evil punished.

......and why?

I have several fashion prints from the early 1800's from R. Ackerman's Repository of Arts. They have a little foxing, but are generally in good shape. Thanks for any help.

We are destroying the planet with our technology, we are destorying each other with religion. Perhaps we would be better off like animals.

I just keep thinking about how we are born into circumstances that we do not always find favorable. Like if I was going to create the world there wouldn't be winter, war, or porkchops.

Ah! Well, I have been asked to take some pictures of a couple I know. Of course I said yes. They both know that I am a beginner and that I hardly know what I am doing! Id like some tips on what I should tell them to do? What if we spend an hour taking pictures and all of them turn our horribly? Im kinda nervous about this and I dont know why.

Any tips would be just grand :]

Whatever could not be as part, whole, equivalence, uniqueness, limit, link, influence, sensation, origin, derivative, rule, condition, intent and fulfillment could not be unity.

Could you rephrase this statement in a better way?

There is a section in 1984 that says that the only way to fully achieve peace is to ensue War, because War leads everyone to be on one accord with each other, and it is also good for the economy. It will use surplus of goods, however it also will not lead to a depression, because so many people are employed, and so many things are being used for War. Here' s direct quote from the book: In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recgnize their common interest, and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against each other at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of the society intact. Therefore...A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war (Orwell II-9).

I posted a question, and someone thought that lavender is light purple, and lilac is darker. I think they're both light, but lavender is more pink, and lilac is more bluish. Any artists know?

Ie, the top one is lavender, and the bottom is lilac to me. Wrong?
