Question
Which of the following is TRUE about the results of the American Civil War?Question 2Answera.It ended slavery and therefore achieved full rights for American blacks.b.The War ruined the South’s economy but not Northern industrial capitalism.c.The US government resettled former slaves on land takes from plantation owners.d.Its high military casualties stopped American’s rise to global power.
Solution
The correct answer is:
b. The War ruined the South’s economy but not Northern industrial capitalism
Here's why:
a. It ended slavery and therefore achieved full rights for American blacks - This is partially true. The Civil War did end slavery with the 13th Amendment, but it did not achieve full rights for American blacks. Those rights were not fully realized until the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
b. The War ruined the South’s economy but not Northern industrial capitalism - This is true. The South's economy, which was heavily dependent on slavery, was devastated by the war. The North, with its more diverse economy, was able to recover more quickly.
c. The US government resettled former slaves on land takes from plantation owners - This is false. While there were some efforts to provide former slaves with land, these were largely unsuccessful and most former slaves ended up working as sharecroppers.
d. Its high military casualties stopped American’s rise to global power - This is false. Despite the high casualties, the United States continued to rise as a global power after the Civil War.
