The correct answer is B. Abraham Lincoln.

Explanation

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was an American politician who was president of the United States of America from 1861 to 1865, the year in which he was assassinated. He stood out as an anti-slavery leader of the Union during the United States Civil War. Also, it promoted a fast modernization of the country's economy. In 1860 Lincoln formalized his candidacy for the presidency of the United States representing the Republican Party, during the voting he did not have great support from the Southern states (characterized by being slavers), however, he swept the north and was appointed president in 1860. During his presidency, he stood out for a platform against slavery in the territories, but for tariffs, a transcontinental railroad, and Homestead Act which defined the ownership of a property to those who cultivate it for five years, causing the arrival of Europeans to the states of Louisiana and Arizona. So, the correct answer is B. Abraham Lincoln.

Answer:

Explanation:

The leading causes of the great migration were racial segregation and very poor economic conditions. The people who escaped that had to look elsewhere for a better economic base and a more tolerant society than in the south where Jim Crow laws were upheld. It is hard to say which push factor was stronger in this case because the terror was combined with very poor living conditions and the whole situation of black folks in the south was very bad.

Why were American women pressured to leave their jobs after the war?
ZanzabumX [31]
Hi, Domesticity and Money Pressures
Many families wanted extra income -- and required a wife's earnings — to afford the lifestyle they desired. Yet middle-class women felt the pressure of the culture telling them to stay home. Many also had little desire to work in the nine-to-five jobs open to them.
