Answer: The group that was considered effective against the Union Army, but very dangerous because of the use of guerilla tactics were; <em>The Quantrill gang. </em>The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The Quantrill gang were also known as the bushwhackers, they assembled up to 400 men during the Centralia attacks/massacre. They gained the most notoriety as being guerilla fighters. The man who led the gang was William Quantrill. They were an active gang from 1861 until May 1865. Jesse James and his brother were also in this gang of raiders. When the gang was in Lawrence, Kansas, many members and even the women associated with the gang were arrested for their crimes. After the arrest, the gang attacked the town and killed around 180 of the citizens.  

He did lose control of this group of men in 1864 when they decided to split apart and go their separate ways.

“Gerrymandering is a threat to democracy in the United States”
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Gerrymandering (/ˈdʒɛrimændərɪŋ/,[1][2]) is a practice intended to establish an unfair political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries, which is most commonly used in first-past-the-post electoral systems.

Two principal tactics are used in gerrymandering: "cracking" (i.e. diluting the voting power of the opposing party's supporters across many districts) and "packing" (concentrating the opposing party's voting power in one district to reduce their voting power in other districts).[3] The top-left diagram in the graphic is a form of cracking where the majority party uses its superior numbers to guarantee the minority party never attains a majority in any district.

In addition to its use achieving desired electoral results for a particular party, gerrymandering may be used to help or hinder a particular demographic, such as a political, ethnic, racial, linguistic, religious, or class group, such as in Northern Ireland where boundaries were constructed to guarantee Protestant Unionist majorities.[4] The U.S. federal voting district boundaries that produce a majority of constituents representative of African-American or other racial minorities are known as "majority-minority districts". Gerrymandering can also be used to protect incumbents. Wayne Dawkings describes it as politicians picking their voters instead of voters picking their politicians.[5]

The term gerrymandering is named after Elbridge Gerry (pronounced like "Gary"[2]), who, as Governor of Massachusetts in 1812, signed a bill that created a partisan district in the Boston area that was compared to the shape of a mythological salamander. The term has negative connotations and gerrymandering is almost always considered a corruption of the democratic process
