5 0

Answer:

<u><em>The British Involvement</em></u>

Britain was engaged without proclaiming which side they were on. The south relied on the protection of Britain, but they did not get it. The British Government needed to help the Confederacy. British common people were anti-slavery. British had a sufficient supply of cotton and did not need the South for that supply.

Given bad crop yields, Britain was pressured to import grain from the North

<u><em>The Trent Affair</em></u>

First major crisis in late 1861, with Britain. A British ship was stopped by Union warship and 2 Confederate Delegates removed. Slow communication has given UK time to calm down.

<u><em>Alabama</em></u>

British made a Confederate Warship. The ship picked up arms in Cuba. Union merchant ships were captured and burned. Canada was invaded by the north.

<u><em>Laird Rams</em></u>

Two huge warships made in the UK. Fabricated to sink Union ships. Had they supported the West, Canada would have been overrun by the East.

Why did apache not build hogans like the Navajo
Lostsunrise [7]
A hogan is more of a permanent home, it takes a lot more time and materials to build. The Navajo are people that had kept sheep and goat, they mostly lived at between 5000 and 8000 feet in elevation. Some apache did make make hogans but they also used tipis. Apaches live a more mobile life style so other types of houses were more useful.
