Confucianism was further developed by Mencius (372B.C.-289B.C.) and Xun Zi. It was in the reign of Emperor Wu during the Han Dynasty that it was promoted to being the state ideology.
The correct answer is D. World War II increased the numbers of working women, due to the fact that more labor was needed to increase production in order to maintain a economy of war. In addition, since many men were on the battlefield, it were the women who in many cases had to take the head role in their families and support their children, so they were forced to work.
Sectionalism was very much a part of the Missouri Compromise, with two main sections of the country -- North vs. South -- divided over the issue of slavery.
The Missouri Compromise (1820) admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added at the same time as a free state, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal. The Missouri Compromise also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.
A couple decades later, that sectional debate was sparked still further by the acquisition of lands from Mexico after the Mexican-American War. The Mexican Cession was the large region of land that Mexico ceded to the United States in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. It included territory that would later become the states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of what would become Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. The Mexican Cession reignited tension on the issue of slave-holding states vs. free states. Since the Missouri Compromise had specified only the Louisiana Purchase lands with its 36 1/2 degrees latitude dividing line, new debate arose over whether territories in the Mexican Cession territory would be slave or free states.

Pancho Villa was a revolutionary general and one of the most important figures in the independence of Mexico. He was widely known to be a brilliant tactician on the battlegrounds. Instead of using traditional military formations, he adopted alternative "guerilla" style tactics, trying to evade direct open-field contact with the enemy.
He would fill a locomotive with explosives and send it into the enemy's depot where it would subsequently explode and leave the enemy short on supplies. he would also train snipers in order to inflict fear in these enemies, as they felt helpless while seeing their comrades fall with and no enemies to be seen.
