“Schenck believed that war helps the rich while sacrificing the poor men who are forced to fight, and he contended that the draft violated the U.S. Constitution.”
Democratization of voting or universal (white) male suffrage--during the 1820s many states removed the property ownership requirement for voting and specially allowing white men to vote exclusively.
These new suffrage policies made a clear distinction between males and females and between black and white. Industrial work became a valid place of work and gave workers a voice through voting but made clear gender and racial distinction in the US.
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Although the riot was originally against the draft, it quickly became racially charged against black people. As the rioters believed that the liberation of black slaves and their subsequent migration to the Union would saturate the labor market, and create greater competition for white middle-class immigrant workers.
It is also worthy to note that the dependancy of NYC on the cotton trade with the South was also another reason for the general discontent against the draft and the war itself.
Woodrow Wilson's attitude toward American entry into World War 1 was that he insisted on neutrality until the United States was provoked by German actions.
God bless!
