Answer:
B. the shift of the Roman Empire's capital from Rome to Constantinople
Explanation:
The Western Roman Empire had been on the decline, while the Eastern Roman Empire has been on the rise. Being more powerful and more influential, the capital of the Roman Empire shifted in the Eastern part of it. Constantinople became the capital of the Roman Empire in 330 AD. This led to significant transfer of power toward the East, and big loss of power in the West. The East prospered more and more and became the strongest power in every sense in the region. The West on the other side was crumbling, little by little losing its political, economic, and military power, eventually resulting in its fall.
Cultural diffusion is when groups are divided over time due to differences of opinions over time. One example for today would be the presidential election which divides many cultural groups because of the issues which each individual in the group supports.

Best answer: Union troops had a greater reason to fight the Confederates.
Historical context/details:
President Abraham Lincoln issued The Emancipation Proclamation as an executive order on January 1, 1863. The executive order declared freedom for slaves in ten Confederate states in rebellion against the Union. It also allowed that freed slaves could join the Union Army to fight for the cause of reuniting the nation and ending slavery. As summarized by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, "The Proclamation broadened the goals of the Union war effort; it made the eradication of slavery into an explicit Union goal, in addition to the reuniting of the country."
While Lincoln personally was strongly against slavery, he had to tread carefully in his role as president and commander-in-chief. The Emancipation Proclamation was carefully worded in order to retain the support of four border slave states, which remained in the Union though they were states that permitted slavery, were Maryland, Missouri, Delaware, and Kentucky. Lincoln wanted to keep those states loyal to the Union cause.
The Emancipation Proclamation was also a way of blocking foreign support for the Confederate cause. According to the American Battlefield Trust, "Britain and France had considered supporting the Confederacy in order to expand their influence in the Western Hemisphere. However, many Europeans were against slavery." Britain had abolished slavery in its territories in 1833. France had put a final end to slavery in its territories in 1848. So when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, it also served as a foreign policy action to keep European powers out of the US Civil War, according to Steve Jones, professor of history at Southwestern Adventist University.
