HELP!!!!!!!!!

I have been the most persevering and determined public man in my State to preserve the Union—the last to abandon the hope, that the good sense of the Nation would prevent a collision between the extremes.


–Jonathan Worth,

Letter to Springs, Oak and Co.,

May 13, 1861


What does Worth mean when he says that he was the last to abandon hope?

Answer: He means he will be the last person to abandon hope in the union.

Step-by-step explanation:

When he uses the phrase last abando hope in the union he is reffering to him being the last of the union, the loyalist of the union.
