Which detail best supports the writer’s idea that "statesmanship is not an abstract skill, but a contextual one"? adapted from lincoln the great by wilfred w. mcclay which brings us to the question of lincoln’s halfway measures, whose fuller context we need to remember. he rose to prominence as a politician who was antislavery but also anti-abolitionist. the strategy he preferred would have contained the spread of slavery, then gradually eliminated it—as opposed to overturning the institution in one grand liberatory1 gesture. such a position perhaps seems incoherent now, and it [lincoln’s strategy] failed in the end, since the south concluded that it could not trust president lincoln, who received not a single electoral vote from the south, to protect its "peculiar institution." but it was a position predicated on lincoln’s belief that the maintenance of the union was the key to all other political goods. we find it harder to swallow lincoln’s frank disbelief in racial equality and his support for african colonization schemes. that such positions were common, even mildly progressive, in his day does not count for much with us. but what should count for us is the fact that, in the maelstrom of war, lincoln overcame his disinclinations2 to see that the union could only be preserved if it sought to achieve something greater than its own survival. statesmanship is not an abstract skill, but a contextual one, highly specific to the circumstances it finds. it is irresistible to wonder what kind of leader lincoln would have been had there been no secession attempt after his election, or had he lived to be a postwar president. that the question is almost impossible to answer intelligently, though, tells us a great deal. lincoln was above all a war president. like it or not, that condition of history defined him. he was not elected to be such a president. he might have been no more effective in peacetime than andrew johnson was. and he might well have found out, as winston churchill or george h. w. bush later did, tha

Negative Effects of Pesticides



In the last 50 years, there has been a decrease of honeybee colonies. Where are the bees? Normally, bees have a built-in memory system so they can leave the hive, collect pollen and nectar, and then return safely to their hive. But, as they consume pesticides from the flowers, their brains are negatively affected, and they "forget" the location of the hive making it impossible for them to return. This has been decreasing the number of bee colonies.

Negative Effects of Pesticides



Pesticide exposure in bees may cause infections in honey bee colonies. Scientists detected 35 different pesticides in the pollen. They found more infections in bees that consumed pollen with these pesticides. These infections are a cause of honeybee deaths.

Negative Effects of Pesticides



The way humanity manages honey bees will define our future in the 21st century. The fact is that 70 percent of our crops are pollinated by bees. If the bees disappear because we are using pesticides, these crops will disappear because they will lose their major pollinator - the bee.Excerpt from United Nations Report
