These are all true or false questions:
The Civil War Greatly increased the power of the Federal Government.
I think that is false but I'm not sure . . .
As a result of the war, the South's economy boomed, while the economy of the North slumped.
I'm pretty sure that is false.
The war ushered the use of ironclad ships, which were superior to the wooden ships of the past.
That would be true, I think.
The Thirteen Amendment abolished slavery in all states in the western territory.
Now this one really puzzles me, because I thought slavery was abolished in all the states, not just western territory. Would you say this is true or false?
Thanks for all the help, it would be nice if you could say if you think they are true or false and then possibly explain, it so I know your not going to give me the wrong answer . . .
For the first question, think about the Constitutional Amendments that took power away from the states and gave this power to the federal government.

Your answers to 2 and 3 are right.
The last question is a little tricky. You're right that the 13th Amendment abolished slavery in all states. So I'd mark that one false.

you just did my homework for me. i'm a junior in high school :D
this is crazy what are you talking about i need cival war facts
Sure, here are the explanations for each question:
1. The statement "The Civil War greatly increased the power of the Federal Government" is generally considered to be true. The war led to significant changes in the balance of power between the federal government and the states. The federal government's authority was solidified and expanded through measures such as the Emancipation Proclamation, the establishment of national currency and banking systems, and the strengthening of central authority.
2. The statement "As a result of the war, the South's economy boomed, while the economy of the North slumped" is false. The Civil War had a severe impact on both the Northern and Southern economies, but it was the South that experienced significant economic hardships. The conflict devastated agricultural production, destroyed infrastructure, and disrupted trade, leading to economic decline in the Southern states.
3. The statement "The war ushered the use of ironclad ships, which were superior to the wooden ships of the past" is true. During the Civil War, innovative ironclad warships, such as the USS Monitor and CSS Virginia (formerly Merrimack), emerged and played a pivotal role in naval warfare. These iron-plated vessels offered increased protection and firepower compared to traditional wooden ships.
4. The statement "The Thirteen Amendment abolished slavery in all states in the western territory" is false. The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery and involuntary servitude throughout the entire country, not just in the western territory. It was a significant step in ending slavery as an institution in the United States.
