Which of the following statements about the Civil War is FALSE?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The correct answer is b.Most Northeners wanted to end slavery. In fact the Mayor of New York City suggested that the city secede from the Union to show their support for their Southern brothers. Most northern states had passed ant-slavery laws, but African Americans were still treated with disdain and inherent racism. Perhaps the main reason that Northeners kind of sat on their hands regarding slavery was because of cotton. Textile mills up north could not exist without cotton, and to the north way of thinking no slavery, no cotton.

Why did the eastern part of the roman empire last longer than the western part

omeli [17]

There are many reasons but here's two

1. The 'war' and invasion etc was fought in the West so the province that you are going to have to raise troops and revenue from to fight the war is the same one where all the fighting takes place.

Meanwhile the 'East' had Anatolia as a heartland for revenue and recruits that was untouched .

2. There is a lot of evidence that it wasn't simply 'barbarian' invasion but also a large element of rebellion against central authority by local forces. These are the people who are supposed to supply your troops and revenue.

How did the Zhou dynasty change the way rulers governed china

nataly862011 [7]

The correct answer to the first question is answer B ("They claimed a divine approval to rule").

The kings of the Zhou Dynasty were actually the first to utilize the concept of "mandate of heaven" to legitimize the overthrowing of the previous dynasty (the Shang) and their subsequent ruling of China. They believed that the monarch embodied the natural order of the universe and was likened to the son of God. It was different from the concept of "divine right" of kings in Europe, because it also contemplated rebellion. A ruler could be taken out by rebels if he was unjust. If he were to be defeated this would also prove he was unworthy. Natural disasters such as floods and famines, were interpreted as a sign that the heavens did not approve of the current ruler.

The correct answer to the second question is answer D ("Through trade on the Silk Road").

In times when sea travel was yet very under-developed, one of the only two routes existing on land to travel West, was the Silk Road. The territories of China were isolated from the west by the planet's highest mountains and vastest deserts, which would've made the country's prosperity endangered. However, the Shang, Zhou and Han dynasties worked to excel at producing multiple kinds products that were lacking in Europe such as silk, paper and porcelain. Through the Silk Road, westerners could reach China in search of these greatly valued goods that they could only obtain there.

Hope this helps!
