A, Slaves provided much of the labor on plantations that grew cash crops would be the answer I would go with. Most slaves worked in crop fields, and iron working didn't become prominent in the US until the industrial revolution about 10 years after the Civil War. I cannot say I'm 100% certain, but the others to me don't seem to make sense when looking at the situation.

What led to much of europe being locked in battle ​
Paul [167]

Assuming your question is in reference to World War I, here's how much of Europe ended up locked in battle:

The systems of alliances and military plans which were put in place before World War I presupposed a major war between the countries which were tied together with alliances.  The Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies.  Germany was part of a group of allies in opposition to the Triple Entente.  Behind these alliances stood the escalating trend of militarization and military planning that the nations were doing, preparing for war with one another.   Militarism was the propelling force that led the nations to think that war was the best way to solve the problems that arose.

So here's what happened to start the Great War (World War I).  When an Austrian prince and his wife were assassinated in Serbia, the Austrian Empire threatened the nation of Serbia with retaliatory action (even though the assassination was carried out by a terrorist group, not the Serbian government). Russia responded to Austria's threat, because Russia was bound to protect its Slavic ally, Serbia. Germany responded to the mobilization of Russian troops, and when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, they implemented the Schlieffen Plan (drawn up by one of their generals), which called for them to go on attack vs. France.  That pulled France and Britain into the war immediately as well, and the war spread and became a global conflict.

Why Did We Create Public Schools?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The Puritans were the first in this country to point out the need for some kind of public education. They established schools to teach not just the essentials-reading, writing and math- but also to reinforce their core values. ... They began calling for free, compulsory school for every child in the nation.

The idea began to spread that childhood should be a time for learning, and schools for children were developed as places of learning. ... In America, in the mid 17th century, Massachusetts became the first colony to mandate schooling, the clearly stated purpose of which was to turn children into good Puritans.
