It ended the labor shortage, as war veterans went to work on the railroad.

Explanation:

The Civil War caused an enormous labor shortage because when it started men that used to work, began to enlist. A report from the Secretary of War in 1862 said that there were 718,512 volunteers in the Union Army. This caused labor shortage, because men that could be working, were fighting.

When the War was over, despite the casualties, men were able to go back to work and projects were developed such as the railroad construction.

Brut [27]

Answer:

James Oglethorpe's best argument for establishing a new colony in North America was that it would serve as protection for South Carolina.

Explanation:

The original purpose of the colony, according to Oglethorpe's plan, was as a penal colony for the settlement of people in prison becacuse of debts. The first prisoners arrived on February 12, 1733, a day that is still celebrated as Georgia Day. But the main geopolitical importance, that convinced the king to approve its creation, was that it would serve as a barrier for Spanish coming from Florida to reach the Carolinas, which were important crop producers for Britain.
