Homework Help Forum: 6th Grade Civil War History

Posted by Mary-Grace on Wednesday, September 2, 2009 at 5:53pm.

These are all true or false questions: The Civil War Greatly increased the power of the Federal Government. I think that is false but I'm not sure . . . As a result of the war, the South's economy boomed, while the economy of the North slumped. I'm pretty sure that is false. The war ushered the use of ironclad ships, which were superior to the wooden ships of the past. That would be true, I think. The Thirteen Amendment abolished slavery in all states in the western territory. Now this one really puzzles me, because I thought slavery was abolished in all the states, not just western territory. Would you say this is true or false? Thanks for all the help, it would be nice if you could say if you think they are true or false and then possibly explain, it so I know your not going to give me the wrong answer . . .

  For the first question, think about the Constitutional Amendments that took power away from the states and gave this power to the federal government. http://books.google.com/books?id=7RrOgALVzfEC&pg=PA318&lpg=PA318&dq=civil+war+increased+power+federal+government&source=bl&ots=MpfEt01z_0&sig=KBrtDotjdjWBSjJwIELK7eK4gcA&hl=en&ei=AeqeSveOK9LEmQeZvdX-DQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3 Your answers to 2 and 3 are right. The last question is a little tricky. You're right that the 13th Amendment abolished slavery in all states. So I'd mark that one false. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
