Which statement below best describes why so few children attended schools in America prior to the Civil War?
Margaret [11]

The correct option is "Few children knew how to read printed material."

The care of war orphans was an important function for local organizations, as well as for the state and local government. A typical state was Iowa, where the private "Association of Iowa Soldiers' Orphanages" operated with funds from the legislature and public donations. Orphanages were created in Davenport, Glenwood and Cedar Falls. The state government financed the pensions of the widows and children of soldiers. Orphan schools were created to provide housing, care and education for the orphans of civil war soldiers. They became a matter of state pride, orphans were exhibited around demonstrations to show the power of a patriotic education.

5. Include 1 quote from either the Federalist or Anti-Federalist Papers and explain how it supports your position on ratificatio
In-s [12.5K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Anti-Federalist Papers and explain how it supports your position on the ratification of the Constitution.

I am going to choose a quote from Anti-Federalist No. 3, "New Constitution Creates a National Government, Will not Abate Foreign Influence, Dangers of Civil War and Despotism," written by John Francis Mercer. It was published in the Maryland Gazette on March 7, 1788.

This is the quote:<em> "In a national government, unless cautiously and fortunately administered, the disputes will be the deeprooted differences of interest, where part of the empire must be injured by the operation of general law." </em>

That is why antideferalists heavily opposed the creation of a strong central government, as was the intention of Federalists such as Jhon Jay and Alexander Hamilton. I agree with antifederalists like Thomas Jefferson, who believed in a simpler form of government, not despotic, that granted rights to the citizens. These rights were established in the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States, drafted by federalist James Madison.
