The correct answer is:
North because its government had been in power longer
Explanation:
With Lincoln's election in 1861, Southern states believed they were no longer represented in the federal government, so they started to secede from the Union,<em> forming the Confederate States of America and naming Jefferson Davis as President. </em>
The North seemed stronger at the beginning of the Civil War (and it turned out it was) because the Union had been in power longer, and President Lincoln was the official President to the entire world, even though the South tried to win support from European countries. The federal government had power over the army and had naval power to block Southern ports and their economy.
The North also seemed stronger because of their bigger population and advanced industries.
Do you mean southern United States? That would be warmer.
One of the most revealing parts of the text is this one:
<em>The laws were designed to correct every deficiency revealed in the Lower East Side fire: for example, it required automatic sprinklers in high-rise buildings. Fire drills became mandatory in large shops. Factory doors had to be unlocked and had to swing outward.</em>
It's correct to assume that, even thought it was a tragedy, the Shirtwaist Factory Fire was the reason behind a series of measures that were adopted to prevent new disasters.
The legacy left behind after what happened is incalculable and the amount of deaths avoided after this specific disaster is very substantial considering the new safety procedures created to avoid something like that to ever happen again.
The correct answer is:
A. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire was the disaster that brought to attention the need for improved working conditions in America
