(03) There were two very significant events during Lincoln's presidency. Do you know what they were? 

One was the American Civil War. 

(American states were divided into two groups: Northern states and Southern states; and they fought a war.) 

The other was the abolition of slavery. 

Earlier, Afro-Americans were kept as slaves in the US by white men. 

They were bought and sold in the market like vegetables or meat. 

This practice was called slavery. 

Lincoln thought this practice was unfair. 

He wanted to stop it. 

So he passed a legislation abolishing the practice of slavery. 

Northern states supported him. 

But southern states wanted slavery to be continued. 

So there was a war between the two groups. 

This war was fought at a place called Gettysburg. 

At the end of the war, the Northern states won. 

A speech was delivered by Lincoln at Gettysburg when the war ended. 

This speech is famous in history as Gettsburg address.

The Descent of the Ganga to the Earth The Ganga was originally a river in the sky. It was called Akash Ganga. Now, let's see why and how the Ganga came to the earth. Once upon a time, there was a king called Sagara. He had 60,000 sons. One day they went to the forest hunting. They happened to make a sage angry by their arrogant behaviour. He turned them to ashes. They died because of a sage's anger. So their souls could not reach the heaven. Many hundreds of years later, a descendant of them decided to send his forefathers' souls to the heaven. His name was Bhageerath. He asked many wise men what he should do to be able to send his forefathers' souls to the heaven. They said if the Akash Ganga flowed along the land where their ashes spread, their souls could go to the heaven. So he prayed to the Ganga to come to the earth and flow along the land where his forefathers' ashes lay. The Ganga accepted his prayer but she warned that if she descended to the earth directly...

While performing addition/subtraction on fractions, the key is “making the denominators equal”. While performing addition/subtraction on decimal numbers, the key is “making the number of places equal”. 0.5+0.5=1 0.5–0.25=0.50–0.25=0.25 0.1–0.01=0.10–0.01=0.09 0.1+0.12+0.123=0.343 0.3–0.125=0.175 0.9+0.19+0.99=2.08 1.08–0.54=0.54 1.08–0.81–0.27=0 15.1–1.51–5.551=8.039 (17/10)–(87/100) =1.7– 0.87=0.83 ?–0.05 = 0.05 Answer: 0.1 3.5–? = 3.15 2 = 1+1 Adding 5 on both sides 2+5 = 1+1+5 Subtracting 2 from both sides 2 – 2 = 1 + 1 – 2 6 = 2+4 Dividing by 2 on both sides 6/2 = 2/2 + 4/2 7 = 3+4 Multiplying both sides by 5, 7*5 = 3*5 + 4*5 3.5–x = 3.15 Adding x on both sides, 3.5 – x + x = 3.15 + x (The purpose of this is to make x positive.) 3.5 = 3.15 + x 3.15 + x = 3.5 (It is better to have x on the left side because it is the value of x which we are trying to find.) Subtracting 3.15 from both sides 3.15 + x – 3.15 = 3.5 – 3.15 (The purpose of this is to remove 3.15 from the LHS so that only ...
