I THINK IT IS B. AM I RIGHT?

B is right.

You're welcome. And thank YOU!

The correct answer is that it strengthened because they had more rights on what to say.

wow... just wow

Is it though?

Yea lol it’s b

Yes, you are correct. Option B is the correct answer: The women's movement was put on hold while women focused on anti-slavery reform and the war effort during the Civil War.

To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the options and eliminate choices that don't align with historical facts or logic.

For option A, it is not accurate to say that the women's movement shifted their focus to helping widows of the Civil War. While there may have been some women who dedicated themselves to this cause, it cannot be considered the main effect of the Civil War on the women's movement.

Option C suggests that the movement was strengthened during the Civil War because women had more time to work on it. However, this is not supported by historical evidence. The Civil War was a time of great turmoil and upheaval, with many societal issues taking precedence over women's rights.

Option D suggests that the women's movement flourished during the Civil War because most men were off fighting in the war. While it is true that men's absence during this time provided some opportunities for women to step into new roles and take on responsibilities traditionally held by men, it does not mean that the women's movement as a whole flourished during this period.

Therefore, option B is the most accurate and logical choice, as the women's movement did take a backseat during the Civil War as women focused on anti-slavery reform and supporting the war effort.

Thank you. Your the best!
