The Civil War was based on a disagreement on slavery, but slavery was not the main issue. The Union opposed the South's economic system (slavery) and the South was not too happy about that so they began seceding from the Union. President Lincoln's main goal was to preserve the Union and to get the Southern states to come back. Slavery was just something that had gotten taken care of during the Civil War.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The rebels, referred to by Westerners as Boxers because they performed physical exercises they believed would make them able to withstand bullets, killed foreigners and Chinese Christians and destroyed foreign property.
As the Western powers and Japan organized a multinational force to crush the rebellion, the siege stretched into weeks, and the diplomats, their families and guards suffered through hunger and degrading conditions as they fought to keep the Boxers at bay. By some estimates, several hundred foreigners and several thousand Chinese Christians were killed during this time. On August 14, after fighting its way through northern China, an international force of approximately 20,000 troops from eight nations (Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States) arrived to take Beijing and rescue the foreigners and Chinese Christians.
