7 and 16 are right.
I don't know about 8. One source says that a state was readmitted to the Union when 10% signed loyalty oaths. There were not immediate elections; three states were not admitted back into the Union until after 1868. Please check your book again.
I have to say, it is a secret. But I am sickened by those scam artists at ETN posting advertisements. I hope the misspellings on their web page is enough notice to students that they are not to be trusted (How can a person misspell their own University name?)
Otherwise, I wish kids would stop posting questions there, they are not going to be answered there.
These days, if one is going to have a wall for notes, you get all kinds.
Thanks for asking.
Ohh I see. Thanks for letting me know(:

Re: << (How can a person misspell their own University name?) >>
At Cal State Humboldt in northern California, many students spell it Humbolt, includng (for the first few years) my son who went there. He later corrected it for his grad school applications elsewhere.
Both spellings are common.
I doubt if HORWARD is a common misspelling.
7. The correct answer is c. more money to spend on war. The North had a significant economic advantage over the South during the Civil War. They had a more developed and industrialized economy, which allowed them to generate more revenue and invest more money in their military efforts. The South, on the other hand, relied heavily on an agrarian economy that was heavily dependent on slave labor and lacked the infrastructure and resources to sustain a prolonged conflict.
To arrive at this answer, you can consider the economic differences between the North and the South during the Civil War. The North had a more industrialized economy with factories, railroads, and a larger population, giving them the ability to generate more revenue through taxes and investments. The South, on the other hand, relied primarily on agriculture, specifically cotton plantations powered by slave labor. This economic disparity directly affected the resources available for the war effort.
8. The correct answer is b. immediate elections in all Southern states. Both President Lincoln and President Johnson insisted on the prompt restoration of the Union and the reinstatement of Southern states into the Union. This necessitated the holding of elections in the Southern states to establish new governments and rejoin the Union. President Johnson's reconstruction policies placed an emphasis on quickly reintegrating the South, which included holding elections and allowing Southern states to form their own governments.
To determine the correct answer, you can analyze the reconstruction policies of both President Lincoln and President Johnson. Both presidents sought to reunite the country and reintegrate the Southern states into the Union after the Civil War. This involved having the Southern states hold new elections to establish loyal state governments and reaffirm their allegiance to the Union.
16. The correct answer is a. prevent African Americans from exercising their rights. The main goal of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) during Reconstruction was to suppress African Americans and prevent them from exercising their newly gained rights and freedoms, particularly their political rights. The KKK used violence, intimidation, and terror tactics to enforce white supremacy and maintain racial hierarchy in the South.
To arrive at this answer, you can examine the historical context of the Ku Klux Klan during Reconstruction. The KKK was founded in 1865, shortly after the end of the Civil War, and it emerged as a terrorist organization that targeted African Americans and their allies. The KKK sought to undermine the progress made by African Americans during Reconstruction and maintain white dominance and control in the South.
