Answer:

The correct response is that the Underground Railroad grew and became busier.

Explanation:

The Underground Railroad is the name given to the network of routes that runaway slaves used to escape to areas where slavery was outlawed, particularly into the northern United States and Canada. It was during the late Antebellum period and during the civil war when this system was most active, in the 1840s through the 1860s. The Fugitive Slave Act was a compromise between the North and South in 1850 and it made it so that officials in the northern states had to return any suspected slave to their owners in the southern states. This act made it so a suspected slave would even be denied any trial and it is believed this led to the kidnapping of free blacks into slavery. Fugitive slaves had no right to defend themselves against the accusations they were escaped slaves. Despite the odds, it is believed that about 30 000 people escaped secretly to Canada using the Underground Railroad.

Was the breakdown of the global multi-polar distribution of power during WWI through WWII (1914-1945) highly probable?

salantis [7]

Yes.

I would concur that the breakdown of the multi-polar distribution of power between 1914-1945 was more or less unavoidable and unpreventable. To conclude what was going on, we need to look back to the 19th century. Most of the 19th-century events, from the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, Great Britain was considered as the world’s incontrovertible superpower. Britain had the largest, most powerful and strong navy in the world. It was the incontrovertible and undisputed ruler of the seas.

This area was where Macedonia was, being a Hellenistic dynasty, takes its name by Antígono, who in the distribution of the kingdom of Alexander the Great, after his death, Antígono was named the ruler of Macedonia (fatherland of the family of Alexander the Great and of many of his generals) and the said kingdom. The Antigonid Kingdom, almost occupied the entire territory of present-day Turkey, which means that the Ottoman Empire was the most important state (1299-1923) or kingdom that succeeded it.
