The best answer is D.

On the eve of the civil war, the population of the United states was approximately 32 million people ( both black and white), of which 20 million lived in the North. Nearly one million Americans worked in industry and manufacturing rather than agriculture so there was no shortage of people to work in factories.

Many thousands of people moved from rural areas to cities to find jobs. Recently arrived immigrants took jobs in factories just to get started in America. Men, women and children worked in factories often for long hours and very little pay.

Also during the civil war, Northern cities and their industries remained untouched and so manufacture and production of goods went on as usual.

Which of the following ideals of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were consistent with a democratic outlook when they developed

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

People are equal

Each individual has worth

It is the duty of an individual to combat oppression

Explanation:

The three major religions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism all started around the same area in Southwest Asia and had some democratic principles that were based on the love that God had for humankind.

One such teaching was that all people were equal and had worth. Jews believed that all were equal and had self worth by virtue of simply being created by God. The Muslims preached that all were equal before God and that all people had dignity. As such even leaders were bound by the same laws as those they rule. The Christians emphasized that it was important to remember that all people are equal and as such we should love them.

The religions also believed it to be the duty of the individual to fight oppression. This was especially true for the Muslims but all three religions show that people must stand up for their neighbours against oppression because all are equal before God.
