O Lincoln believed that the United States as a nation was embodied in a particular set of universal ideals
O European nations were being built on the idea of unifying a people of the same ethnic, cultural, and linguistic group into a unified nation
O North Carolina was the last state to secede from the Union.
O With more than 165,000 men engaged in the battle, Gettysburg is the largest battle ever to have taken place in North America

Answer 1

Louisiana seceded before Fort Sumter's fall; Lincoln saw the nation as embodying universal ideals. North Carolina was not the last to secede; Gettysburg was the largest battle in North America.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correctly describing the secession of the southern states and the formation of the Confederate States of America, Louisiana did indeed secede before the fall of Fort Sumter. President Lincoln maintained the view that the United States was united by universal ideals, not solely based on ethnic or cultural identity. North Carolina was not the last to secede; Tennessee holds that distinction. The Battle of Gettysburg was the largest in North America as it engaged over 165,000 men.

The Confederate States of America were formed following the secession of Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana after the election of Abraham Lincoln. Slavery and states' rights were central themes in their secession. Confederate forces' attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861 marked the beginning of the Civil War, after which additional states seceded, including Virginia and North Carolina. The irony of the Confederate Constitution was that it granted less power to individual states compared to the U.S. Constitution, especially to preserve slavery.
