In the eyes of the british the colonies existed for what purpose

It has been proven that in the eyes of the british, the american colonies only existed to benefit britain economically.

I hope my straight forward explanation can answer your question :)

abraham lincoln was the president of usa and he had asked the audience to make a pledge on equality.

his pledge was:

“it is my earnest desire to know the will of the providence.”

lincoln also had hatred for people who condoned and practiced slavery and so he pledged:

""and if i can learnt what it is i can do it"" this is another pledge by abraham to reassure the congregation on how to deal with the providence will.

explanation:

hope this !

entering that problem on the tube you may come up with an answer
