<em>In The Year Of </em>40 A.D
A major problem for the United States after the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was that tens of thousands of Loyalists, due to the climate of violence and fear that still existed after the conflict (particularly in the South), fled the country, retreating with the British army to Britain and other parts of the British Empire (Jamaica, Bahamas, India) and also to Canada, settling primarily in the regions of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Since those Loyalists were often wealthy and educated, and they had been part of the thriving and cohesive upper class that controlled much of the industry and the commerce in areas such as New York or Boston, the social structure of the colonies changed significantly after their departure.
Answer: A. Voters are more likely to participate in a presidential election than in a primary.
This table shows the voter turnout in percentages in different states, for both the Republican primary and the general election.
Option A is correct because the percentages are higher for the general election than for the primary in every state.
Option B and Option D assumes that the numbers represented are number of people, instead of <u>percentages</u>. We have no way of knowing what the absolute number of voters is per state.
Option C concludes the opposite of what the data shows.
