Final answer:

Lincoln's initial goal was to preserve the Union rather than abolish slavery, which is why the statement in Exercise 16.3.1 is False. The Treaty of Paris did indeed ignore the American Indians, making the statement in Exercise 8.4.1 True. The Iroquois Confederacy was not entirely neutral during the Revolutionary War, therefore Exercise 8.3.5's statement is False.

True or False Answers to Historical Questions

True or False: Before heading off to war, Rhodes off with an enthusiastic ceremony. This statement is partially drawn out of context but seems to refer to a ceremonial send-off, which is typical for troops heading to war. The context provided in the information does not specifically confirm Rhodes' scenario, so answering True or False confidently is not possible.

True or False: Although he agreed with the punishment for the deserter, Rhodes had no interest in witnessing the event, and he did so only under orders. This question cannot be answered as there is incomplete information regarding Rhodes' feelings towards the punishment of a deserter, and thus an accurate answer cannot be provided.

Exercise 16.3.1:
When the war broke out, Lincoln announced that the war was being fought to free those who were enslaved in the South. The statement is False; initially, President Abraham Lincoln's primary aim was to preserve the Union rather than to abolish slavery.

Exercise 8.4.1:
For all practical purposes, the Treaty of Paris ignored the American Indians. This statement is True; the Treaty of Paris did not address the concerns of the American Indians, even though they had a stake in the outcome of the Revolutionary War.

Exercise 8.3.5:
All of the tribes in the Iroquois Confederacy maintained neutrality during the Revolutionary War. This statement is False; not all members of the Iroquois Confederacy remained neutral; the confederacy was split, with some tribes supporting the Americans and others the British.
