The raid on Harper's Ferry was an intent by John Brown, who was an abolitionist, to initiate a slave revolt in 1859 by taking control on the federal arsenal located in Harper's Ferry, Virginia.
The two groups that were outside the arsenal were:
- <em>John Brown's "group of 22"</em>. This group of men was supposed to be supported abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. However, none of them showed up in the scene, as Tubman fell ill and Douglass was doubtful of a victory.
- <em>A group of US Marines</em> led by Colonel Robert E. Lee.
The attempt was unsuccessful, resulting in the defeat of Brown's group by the US Marines.

Gettysburg .is the turning point
Answer: B) The success of the Spanish-American War and the colonies received from that victory.
The Spanish-American War was a war between the United States and Spain in 1898. The main issue at play in this conflict was that of Cuban independence. The U. S. backed the Cuban rebels that seeked independence. The public was greatly influenced by a media campaign of anti-Spanish sentiments.
The United States eventually emerged victorious, and this meant the loss of the last remnants of the Spanish Empire, which was a great shock to Spain. However, the U. S. gained several territorial possessions, fuelling an interest in expansionism.
It did not lead to the Civil War, what led to the civil war was the war of 1812. That was when U.S.A recognized that it needed to become stronger, and slaves were transported to the United States and put in the working class under bad conditions. Child labor and prejudice began there as well.
D - People who believed that the appropriate role of the government was to address the major social problems of the day
This is because the Progressives wanted better working conditions as well and wanted the government to regulate large monopolies.
Hope this helps!
