He responded by not helping because he didn’t want to fight a war across an ocean
Answer:
B. Harrison’s wife was gravely ill is the right answer
Explanation:
Benjamin Harrison was the president in 1889.
He increased the strength of the US Navy. He also singed Sherman’s antitrust act into law. He was also known for his civil rights legislation.
He was defeated in politics by the Democrat Cleveland by getting more than 90 000 votes. Four years later, again Harrison stood in elections, but could not campaign as his wife was ill. She died two weeks before the elections.
It was the Confederate cities of Atlanta and Savannah that were nearly burned to the ground late in the Civil War, since by this time the Union was implementing their harshest tactics in the hopes of forcing the South into submission.
