One question lincoln’s main purpose in his gettysburg and second inaugural address was to question 1 options: blame the conflict on the south and collect reparations from the rebellious states. preserve the union get support from foreign countries to defeat the south encourage the splitting of the union

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".

hope this
