Based on the information provided, your answers are mostly correct. Here's an explanation for each question to confirm your choices:
1. Which factor contributed the most to the increased importance of literature in American culture during the 19th century?
The correct answer is D. the greater availability of books, magazines, and newspapers. This factor played a significant role in the increased importance of literature during the 19th century as it allowed for the dissemination and accessibility of written works to a wider audience.
2. Which of these claims produced conflict between religious leaders and transcendentalist writers?
The correct answer is A. the claim that God and nature were the same. This claim from transcendentalist writers, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, sparked conflict with religious leaders who held more traditional beliefs that God and nature were distinct entities.
3. What was the effect of Nat Turner's Rebellion?
The correct answer is B. laws went into effect to prevent the freeing of slaves. Nat Turner's Rebellion, an unsuccessful slave revolt in Virginia in 1831, led to stricter laws and regulations aimed at preventing future uprisings and restricting the rights and mobility of enslaved individuals.
4. President Andrew Johnson said that "this is a country for white men." How did he act on this belief?
The correct answer is C. he vetoed most reconstruction legislation. President Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Abraham Lincoln after his assassination, opposed the significant changes brought by the Reconstruction Era and vetoed numerous bills aimed at granting rights and protections to freed slaves, thus acting on his belief in a racially divided nation.
Overall, your answers are right except for question 1 where the correct answer is D, the greater availability of books, magazines, and newspapers.
