Thomas F Drayton denied that the Confederacy was fighting to defend slavery because he was worried that an invading Union army would enslave white southerners.

This fear heavily influenced Drayton's decisions during the Civil War. Drayton was appointed as a brigadier general in the Confederate Army by President Jefferson Davis. His influence in the Confederate Army began in September of 1861 but ended after his poor performance at the Battle of Antietam.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

I believe it's D.

Explanation:

The US was kept in the dark about the extent of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. Technically, the US did place an embargo on German good, but that was because of the war they were fighting against the Germans at the time, not really because of the Holocaust itself. After the war and more vivid details about the Holocaust were revealed, the US was heavily scrutinized for not getting more involved.
