It will help if you post each question separately using the "Ask a New Question" link, NOT by posting the questions as responses. Also, please show your work and thoughts for any questions that you post. We're glad to help, but we're not here to just provide answers. Thanks!

For heaven's sake look those amendments up online! What do YOU think the blockade did to the economy in the Confederate states?

Sure! I'd be happy to help you with the first two questions.

1. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments were all important additions to the Constitution because they
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the options one by one:

A. repealed previous amendments - This option is incorrect because the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments did not repeal previous amendments.

B. granted more freedom to women - This option is incorrect because while these amendments had a significant impact on civil rights, they did not specifically address women's rights.

C. addressed issues that contributed to the Civil War - This option is correct. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, the Fourteenth Amendment granted equal protection under the law for all citizens, and the Fifteenth Amendment protected the right to vote regardless of race. These amendments directly addressed issues that were central to the Civil War and its aftermath.

D. were passed over the objection of the majority of the states - This option is incorrect because the adoption of these amendments required the support of the majority of states.

Therefore, the correct answer to question 1 is C. addressed issues that contributed to the Civil War.

2. The Union blockade during the Civil War
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the options one by one:

A. led to an alliance between the Confederacy and Great Britain - This option is incorrect because the Union blockade actually hindered the Confederacy's ability to establish alliances and receive foreign aid, including from Great Britain.

B. caused inflation and shortages in the South, especially for manufactured goods - This option is correct. The Union blockade significantly restricted the flow of goods and resources into the South, leading to shortages and inflation, particularly for manufactured goods that could not be produced domestically.

C. really had no effect on the South, since they were already agriculturally self-sufficient - This option is incorrect because the blockade did have a substantial effect, as explained in option B.

D. hurt the North the most since they relied heavily on Southern cotton and agriculture for its own manufacturing base - This option is incorrect because while the North did rely on Southern cotton and agriculture, the blockade primarily affected the South by disrupting its economy and reducing its export capabilities.

Therefore, the correct answer to question 2 is B. caused inflation and shortages in the South, especially for manufactured goods.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
