The correct answer is B) New laws were passed to ensure better quality of food.
The book <em>The Jungle </em>by Upton Sinclair exposed the disgusting working conditions and habits of the meatpacking industry. This included sweeping guts of the floor and the inclusion of rats in meat sold to the American people. The conditions described disgusted the American people and resulted in president Teddy Roosevelt passing the Meat Inspection Act of 1906. This law would ensure the cleanliness and safety of meat sold to the American public by having the government inspect these types of factories.
Ten-Percent Plan,which specified that a southern state could be readmitted into the Union once 10 percent of its voters (from the voter rolls for the election of 1860) swore an Oath Of Allegiance to the Union. Voters could then elect delegates to draft revised state constitutions and establish new state governments. All southerners except for high-ranking Confederate army officers and government officials would be granted a full pardon. Lincoln guaranteed southerners that he would protect their private property, though not their slaves. Most moderate Republicans in Congress supported the president’s proposal for Reconstruction because they wanted to bring a quick end to the war.
In many ways, the Ten-Percent Plan was more of a political maneuver than a plan for Reconstruction. Lincoln wanted to end the war quickly. He feared that a protracted war would lose public support and that the North and South would never be reunited if the fighting did not stop quickly. His fears were justified: by late 1863, a large number of Democrats were clamoring for a truce and peaceful resolution. Lincoln’s Ten-Percent Plan was thus lenient—an attempt to entice the South to surrender.
