when the time for the next elections came, it was clear that the most important question would be slavery. there were four candidates, but a northerner called abraham lincoln won the election. in his inaugural address lincoln warned the southerners that they shouldn't destroy the union of the states, but they didn't listen. in february 1861 eleven southern states formed their own union, which was called the confederacy, but abraham lincoln wouldn't let them split up the country. and so the civil war began. the north (their army was called the union army) was actually more powerful than the south: as you remember, they had more men, and their factories produced weapons and supplied the northern army with everything it needed. but the confederacy had one big advantage: they didn't have to invade the north, they just had to protect their own land and homes. at that time a lot of people thought that it would be possible. so at first, the confederacy had more luck; their men were better trained and fought with more spirit. just as in the revolutionary war, americans from the south were once again fighting for their independence. the union soldiers were getting tired. after they lost some important battles, the anti-slavery idea wasn't enough to inspire them any more. the southerners felt that just one more big victory would be enough to win the war.
Мой дорогой друг андрей! как у вас там погода? хочу тебе рассказать о нашей погоде. погода у нас переменная. с утра может полить ливень, как из ведра, но к обеду может выйти из облаков солнце. но в то же время может быть холодно и тепло. например с утра легкая прохлада, а после обеда температура воздуха значительно повышается, легкая прохлада ощущается в основном утром, когда я иду в школу. а когда прихожу со школы, не лень в такую погоду погулять! мне больше нравится теплая и сухая погода. а какую погоду любишь ты? буду с нетерпением ждать твоего ответа. твой любящий друг (имя)переводhello my dear friend andrew! how have you got there the weather? i want to tell you about our weather. the weather is variable. in the morning rain may pour in torrents, but for dinner can come out of the clouds the sun. but at the same time can be cold and heat. for example in the morning coolness, and in the afternoon the temperature rises considerably, coolness is felt mostly in the morning when i go to school. and when i come home from school, too lazy to walk in this weather! i like the warm and dry weather. what kind of weather do you love? i look forward to your response. your loving friend (name)
