Answer:

The correct option is D

The Industrial Revolution or First Industrial Revolution is the process of economic, social and technological transformation that began in the second half of the 18th century in the Kingdom of Great Britain, which spread a few decades later to a large part of Western Europe and Anglo-Saxon America, and that it concluded between 1820 and 1840.

From this moment on, a transition began that would end centuries of labor based on manual labor and the use of animal traction, being replaced by machinery for industrial manufacture and for the transport of goods and passengers. This transition began towards the end of the 18th century in the textile industry, as well as in the extraction and use of coal. The expansion of trade was possible thanks to the development of communications, with the construction of railways, canals, and roads. The transition from a mainly agricultural economy to an industrial economy greatly influenced the population, which experienced rapid growth, especially in the urban sphere.

4. Historical Question: What was the Union Army's strategy at the Battle of Antietam?

dangina [55]

The Union Army's strategy at the Battle of Antietam was to keep the army intact to avoid being flanked by the Confederacy.

<h3>What did the Union do at the Battle of Antietam?</h3><h3 />

At the Battle of Antietam, the Union Army knew that the Confederates would attempt to flank them by dividing their army. They knew this because they had found out General Lee's plans in advance.

As a result, the Union Commander, Gen. George B. McClellan, kept the army intact while trying to attack the flanks of the enemy. General Lee then attacked with all his force thinking that the Union would see this and fall back.

The Union responded by standing their ground and driving back the Confederate army. The strength of this strategy was that it won the battle for the Union. A limitation was that it cost many lives.
