Question

According to Lincoln in his day did most people (a)work for others (b) work for themselves or (c) hire laborers to work for them ? does Lincoln think this was different in the southern slaveholding states than in the northern free states?

Answer 1

B) Work for other. Sometimes people do it their selves but most of the time people work for others for quick money

Answer 2

According to the former president Abraham Lincoln, "A large majority belong to neither class – neither work for others, nor have others working for them". Which means that the correct answer is:

(B) work for themselves

Lincoln believed it was no different in Slave States, as he points out himself:

"Even in all our slave States except South Carolina, a majority of the whole people of all colors are neither slaves nor masters"
