Answer:

It means that the old times weren't as good as the phrase 'the good old times' made it seem.

explanation:

What Andrew Carnegie meant by this is that although we may use the phrase

“The ‘good old times’, those times were not really good times. This is because things were not clearly as good as it is today compared to those times. Going back to those times or old conditions would be disastrous as the good old times were not quite as civilized as we have it today.

From the speech from which he said these words, he said neither master nor servant were as well situated as they are today. This means that life wasn't very easy or comfortable in the old times compared to today.

What group of bills attempted to preserve the union despite the conflicts over slavery?
Assoli18 [71]

The correct answer is D) Compromise of 1850.

The Compromise of 1850 was a law that would temporarily settle the conflict over whether or not slavery would exist in the new territories gained after the Mexican-American War. The Mexican-American War saw the United States gain control of modern day California, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona etc.

At this time, the issue of slavery and its expansion was a hotly debated topic. This is due to the fact that Congressmen from slave states wanted these new territories to allow slavery. While the Congressmen from free states did not want slavery to expand. This is because expanding the institution of slavery would result in an imbalance of free and slave state representatives in Congress.
