The correct answer is the Battle of Antietam.
The Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest battle in the Civil War. Roughly 22,000 were killed. However, this battle gave the Union a victory in terms of strategic location. This "victory" gave Lincoln the confidence to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation stated that slaves "in all rebellious states" (meaning the Confederacy). This did not sit well with the Confederates and practically all the states ignored it since they considered themselves part of another country anyways.
Answer:
Enslaved people in cities often kept some of their wages, while enslaved people on plantations never saw any of the money they made for their owners.
Explanation:
In America, the settlement of the Europeans brought slavery and "bound laborers." These laborers were owned by the masters who indulged them in domestic, farming, and commercial laboring. They were not paid and were neither given any equal rights. Plantation laborers were indulged in plantation fields. They were not treated with any human dignity. They were beaten, punished, and even sold without their consent. In the urban areas, the definition of slavery was different from that of the plantation fields. The laborers were employed in the shops and they had some freedom as compared to the farm slaves. They enjoyed some escape in the urban areas from the harshness of the masters.
Iroquois Nation--this nation of tribes created a confederation to settle disputes, facilitate trade, and aid in defense.
The Iroquois Confederacy consisted of 5 tribes who governed the area of the Great Lakes as a representative unit. Each tribe had delegates who came together to make decisions regarding the group of tribes. This type of confederation is similar to the early government of the US or at least the initial goal--a confederation of states working together on issues that addressed the whole but otherwise independent. <span />
