sorry, my subject is history not physics :(
I agree with first and last but think high tariffs did more to help business (in the North it protected manufacturers, hurt the South which imported manufactured goods) The Munn vs Ill case was after the war as I recall.
For the first question, you are correct. The South's basic strategy at the start of the war can be summarized as "prepare and wait" (option A). This means that the South aimed to defend its territory and wait for opportunities to strike rather than launching immediate invasions or attacks.
Regarding the second question, you have selected option D. However, the correct answer is option A. High tariffs refers to taxes imposed on imported goods, which can protect and support domestic industries by making foreign goods more expensive. Therefore, by implementing high tariffs, the government can indirectly assist American businesses.
Lastly, for the third question, you have selected option C. However, the correct answer is option C. The Fugitive Slave Act specified that escaped slaves must be returned to their owners. This law mandated the assistance of all citizens in capturing and returning runaway slaves. It was a controversial and deeply divisive issue during the time leading up to the American Civil War.
I hope this explanation helps clarify the correct answers to your questions. If you have any further inquiries, feel free to ask!
