Answer: D. armed conflict with the Southern soldiers.

Explanation:

South Carolina militia had declared that any attempt to resupply Fort Sumter would be seen as an act of aggression.  

Knowing the fort was running out of supplies, Lincoln announced his plan to send three unarmed ships to relieve Fort Sumter rather than sending a military expedition to reinforce and resupply, because he wanted the Confederacy to understand this action was not meant to be an attack, but an attempt to peaceably land provisions only.

Long after the United States abolished slavery in 1865, Black Americans still face systemic racism. There are several events in American history that point to the lasting impact of slavery and the Tulsa Race Massacre is an important one for students to learn about. Unfortunately, Oklahoma is the only state that requires the teaching of this devastating historical event in public schools, and the official legislation to make the curriculum universal across the state only began this year.

4 The Iron Curtain represents:
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

A. The divide between Eastern and Western Europe.

Explanation:

The term "Iron Curtain" refers to the imaginary and invisible boundary line that divides Europe based on political, ideological as well as military beliefs. This barrier is not a literal/ physical barrier like the Berlin wall, for it is just a "thought process" barrier of the Soviet Union.

This imaginary barrier was developed to prevent any form of influence from the western side of Europe. Soviet Union tried to prevent any influence from its western counterpart after World War II, preventing any form of contact between the two. This concept of the Iron Curtain was to make sure the Eastern side remains devoted to the Soviet's belief and not become like the western side.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
