2) When Abraham Lincoln was introduced to Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1862 (in the midst of the Civil War), he fondly commented she was "the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war." Explain this comment.

Explanation:

President Lincoln allegedly said about Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin that it was "the book that started this great war." It's unlikely he ever said these words, but there's an element of truth to them all the same, for Uncle Tom's Cabin was hugely influential in strengthening the cause of abolitionism. In detailing the horrors of slavery, Stowe helped to convince many Americans that there could be no compromise with the South over the institution's continued existence.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
