<span>By the late 1800s, railroads carried goods just about everywhere, from coast to coast. In rural areas, horse-drawn carriages could still be seen, and some salesmen (they were most always men back then) used this method of transportation.

How did grants decision to end prisoner exchanges affect the men at Andersonville ? Why would a blockade affect civilians and pr

kiruha [24]

Answer:

In May of 1863, the Confederate Congress passed a joint resolution that formalized Davis' proclamation that black soldiers taken prisoner would not be exchanged.
It was overcrowded to four times its capacity, with an inadequate water supply, inadequate food and unsanitary conditions. Of the approximately 45,000 Union prisoners held at Camp Sumter during the war, nearly 13,000 died.
Many of the prisoners who claimed to have escaped from Andersonville often either escaped from other camps or in transit between camps.
Captain Henry Wirz
Because of public outrage and indignation in the North over conditions at Andersonville, Captain Henry Wirz was found guilty of war crimes and was hanged on November 10, 1865. It has been said that Wirz was the last casualty of Andersonville.

Which situation was a basic cause of the Great Depression

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Speculation in the Markets

Explanation:

The best explanation is that people borrowed money to play the stock market and when the market crashed, they not only lost their money but they owed money still. This caused the credit market to freeze up as everyone's debt was occupied and lenders didn't have money to lend out anymore.
