From what was the Confederate States of America created?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. The Confederate States of America was created from states that had seceded from the Union.

Explanation:

Confederate States of America was an unrecognized confederation of seceded states of the United States of America, which existed from 1861 until 1865. The Confederacy was originally formed by seven slave states in the southern region of the United States of America. Their regional economy was characterized by agriculture, mainly cotton production and where the plantation system depended on slave labor.

Each state had declared its separation from the American Union following the November 1860 election with Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln as president. Lincoln's political platform was to oppose the extension of slavery to other states and territories. A Confederate government was proclaimed in February 1861 before Lincoln formally took office in March, but that government was declared illegal by the US government. After the war broke out in April, a further four states in the northern states declared that they also broke with the union and entered the Confederacy. Missouri and Kentucky were also later accepted as members of the Confederacy, but none of them had officially declared that they broke with the Union or were ever controlled by the Confederate army.

The US government rejected the demands to break out of the Union and regarded the Confederate government as invalid. The Civil War began on April 12, 1861, with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter, a fortress in the Port of Charleston, South Carolina. In 1865, after very hard warfare, mainly in the Confederate territories, the Confederate's military forces surrendered and the Confederation disbanded.

each of the following is a result of an entrepreneurs failed business except a.unemployment b. increased stress c.loss of person
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

<u>This question asks us to find which of the following options is not a result of someone with a failed business. </u>

A: Unemployment

If someone had a failed business, the business would no longer be running. Therefore, they would not have a job, and they would be unemployed. This is a result, so it is not correct.

B: Increased stress

If someone's business failed and they were unemployed, their stress levels would definitely increase. This would be a result, so it is not correct either.

C: Loss of personal savings

Most likely if someone opened a business, they used their savings to help fund the opening. If the business failed, they would lose the money they used. Therefore, this is a result and can't be correct.

D: Feeling of accomplishment

If someone's business failed, they probably wouldn't feel proud or accomplished. This would not be a result of an entrepreneur's failed business, so this the correct choice.

Lynn’s company supported her both personally and financially when she went back to school to pursue her Master’s degree. Consequ
cupoosta [38]

Lynn's commitment would be best described as normative commitment (C) in this scenario.

Out of all types of organizational commitment, the one which results from a sense of obligation to stay is called normative commitment. It differs from:

  • affective commitment (desire to stay) which involves a <u>personal attachment</u>,
  • continuance commitment (need to stay) which involves a <u>fear of loss</u>.

Here, we are told that Lynn "feels indebted toward her company," which makes her "hesitant" to change jobs even though she may find better-paid ones in other companies. The idea is that her employer's generous support in her time of need binds her by creating a <u>sense of moral duty</u>, like she owes the company something.
