participation in the military is not a required civic duty for all american citizens, but it is required in some other countries like germany, switzerland and japan. do you think that military service should be a requirement for all citizens? be sure to explain and support your answer in paragraph form.

No, I don't think they should because people are being forced to leave their families and friends. When someone joins the military they put their whole life behind them and go off to a place that is the least bit comfortable. They are yelled at and punished in ways most people couldn't understand. People who join the military are usually left scarred mentally and physically. I believe if someone is not going into the military by choice they shouldn't be forced or told "It's their civic duty"

the assassination of president lincoln was just one part of a larger plot to decapitate the federal government of the u.s. after the civil war. the first reaction to lincoln’s death was disbelief. then it quickly changed to grief. abraham lincoln’s death created an outpouring of grief from citizens in both the north and the south.

explanation:

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.
