The Story of Cincinnatus

The early Roman nobleman Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus was an exemplary strategic consultant. In 458 BC, Rome was in peril. An enemy army stood at the city's gates — an adversary with new weapons and innovative offensive tactics.

Cincinnatus, who had retired to a small farm, was implored by the Senate to assume leadership through the crisis. Despite the risk that his family might starve if his crops went unsown, he took command of the Roman army and within sixteen days defeated its foes.

At the battle's end, he immediately relinquished his absolute authority and returned to his farm. Throughout history, Cincinnatus has been cited as a model of leadership, public service, civic virtue, and modesty.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

First I would like to know what D is, but based on the options, I would say C.

C is the answer choice because:

A is completely wrong, after the Civil War African Americans were freed from slavery.

B is wrong, but not as much as A. They were allowed to learn to read, but since former slaves didn't know how to read, the're children didn't. And that's were schools came in.

C is right, African Americans had fewer opportunities then whites. There were segregated, and of that divide between races, the whites fared better the blacks.

If I had information for D I would give an answer for that one as well.
