Are my answers right??
Ms. Sue, cna you help me?
I disagree with your answer to #1.
The other three look good, but #3 (Nat Turner) confuses me. Were there any laws against feeling slaves? Do you mean fleeing or freeing or feeding? You may be right when the answer is typed correctly.
I meant freeing.
Your answers are mostly correct, but there is a slight error in question 3. The correct answer is not B but rather A.
1. The factor that contributed the most to the increased importance of literature in American culture during the 19th century was D. the greater availability of books, magazines, and newspapers. This era saw the advent of mass printing and improvements in literacy rates, which led to an increased demand for literary works.
2. The claim that produced conflict between religious leaders and transcendentalist writers was A. the claim that God and nature were the same. Transcendentalists believed in the divinity of nature and saw God's presence in it, which clashed with traditional religious teachings that emphasized the separation between God and nature.
3. The effect of Nat Turner's Rebellion was A. it became illegal to teach slaves to read and write. In response to the rebellion, southern states passed laws prohibiting enslaved individuals from learning to read and write, fearing the spread of knowledge would incite further unrest.
4. President Andrew Johnson's belief that "this is a country for white men" was acted upon by C. He vetoed most reconstruction legislation. Johnson, who succeeded Abraham Lincoln as President after the Civil War, opposed civil rights reforms and vetoed many bills passed by Congress to protect the rights of newly freed slaves and promote their inclusion in society.
