The right answer is A - by sending unarmed supply ships to to the fort.

On April 4, 1861, Lincoln faced his first major crisis as president. Most of his cabinet members and senior military officers urged him to withdraw the troops from Fort Sumter to preserve peace. Lincoln, however, believed that giving up Fort Sumter would mean giving up the Union. So he ordered that ships be sent to Charleston to resupply the sixty-nine federal soldiers at Fort Sumter.  On April 4, 1861, Lincoln faced his first major crisis as president.

This order ignited the Confederate attack, which on April 12, started a 34-hour open fire against the Fort Sumter, until its ultimate surrender. The fall of Fort Sumter started the Civil War and inflamed a wave of swagger across the Confederate states.

Why many americans blamed spain for the explosion of the uss maine?
kondaur [170]
Before the USS Maine exploded, the United States was trying to expand as a world power. Thus, many Americans blamed Spain for the explosion of the USS Maine because it gave them a reason to declare war on Spain and take control of Spanish territory in the Pacific and Caribbean.

How did the post-World War II world change life and economics in the United States?
Phantasy [73]
One of the greatest changes in the United States was the most of the women had served in the workplace in one way or another during the war, when the men were off fighting. Many did not return to be housekeepers after the war, and some were competing with men returning home. Another change also had to do with the structure of the economy. Almost everyone was involved in the war effort in some way, and we had grown quite efficient. That efficiency was put into mass production of consumer goods on a scale not seen before the war.

How did the Enlightenment impact the French Revolution?
Ber [7]
The Enlightenment was an era where people started realizing that they had (human) rights, realized that the monarchy + aristrocrats/ rich ppl in general shouldn't do whatever they wanted to do (like kill a bunch of ppl for saying smth against the Crown's beliefs), realized that they are capable of believing and doing something more than just living as a peasant.

The French had really sucky monarchs (like King Louis the Thirteenth), and frankly, they were sick of living in famine and poverty, so it was kinda like being in the right place and at the right time-- they overthrew their monarchy, now aware that they had these rights (inspired by the Enlightenment). "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" was the slogan. Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood = everything the monarchy wasn't.
