What clues does Walt Whitman provide in the opening stanza of the poem that suggest the captain did not die a natural death? Use textual evidence to support your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

In his poem "O Captain! My Captain!", Whitman provides clues about the unnatural death of the captain when he mentions the blood dropping on the deck of the ship. People who die naturally - of natural causes - do not usually bleed. Bleeding is the result of being hurt, injured, be it in an accident or due to violence.

O the bleeding drops of red,

                              Where on the deck my Captain lies,

                                 Fallen cold and dead.

As we know, the fallen captain is none other than Abraham Lincoln, who had been shot and killed. The whole poem is a metaphor for his death as well as the victory of the Union in the Civil War. Whitman is lamenting Lincoln being gone, having been murdered before he could see and celebrate victory with the country.

How did President Andrew Johnson’s Reconstruction plan differ from President Abraham Lincoln’s?

Answers

Explanation:

Johnson's plan was loosley similar to Lincoln's original plan needing 10% of all  voters to pledge allegiance to the Union. But Johnson stated no former leaders or officeholders of the Confederacy, or Confederates with more than 20,000 in taxable property could hold office or vote. However, he had to power to return these rights to some, and he used this power often resulting in many Confederate leaders back in office months later. 8 months later, all 11 states were back in the Union with new/ revised constitutions, none of which extended voting rights to African Americans. Hope this helps! :)

Should the Electoral college be eliminated

Answers

If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Presidential election leaves the Electoral College process and moves to Congress.

Answer:

I think yes, the electoral college should be eliminated because it doesn't give voice to the smaller states. It also can put people in office even if they had a lower popular vote. The electoral college was put into place to help those who weren't as educated and that isn't so much the case now. Having it be popular vote, more people would likely vote, because then their opinion would actually have an effect on the poll.
