If there was no civil war, would America still have slavery?

This is one of those questions that is near impossible to answer.

The best I can give you, based upon my reading, is that it is likely that slavery would have continued for quite a while longer. Over time, though, it would have held a diminished role in society as the South industrialized. The advent of the assembly line would have further pushed the decline.

Holding slaves was a morally bankrupt AND expensive endeavor. For a long time, the cost benefit analysis for slave owners was that they could get years of work out of a person without wages. Eventually, with technology, this would have made the institution less of a good "investment," combined with moral pressure as most of the Western world divested itself from slavery.

So, you'd likely see a more pronounced version of our de facto slavery with migrant farm workers in the United States.

kaheart [24]

The correct answer is A. The British soldiers panicked when they were shot at.

Explanation:

The excerpt presented describes a battle fought by the British forces against the French and Indians. About this, the author, who belongs to the British side (you can know this because the author uses "they" to refer to the French and Indians), describes the French and Indians number was not known "the Number of each not known", and they were located in a hill "possessed the Sides and Brow of a Hill".

Moreover, the author states the French and Indians began to shot "some of them fired", and this led to a general panic in the British side "this immediately struck a general Pannic; the Men could not be persuaded to form regularly." Thus, in this battle, the British soldiers panicked when they were shot at.
