I believe the first one is true and the second one is false. I am not completely sure but I just took a test with those questions and got an A-
Answer:
A). It is biased.
Explanation:
The credibility of the given passage by Columbus can be questioned as it offers a biased representation of the inhabitants. <em><u>This prejudice is evident from the use of descriptive words like 'timid, full of terror, guileless, liberal, etc.' which imposes the author's feelings and opinions on to the readers</u></em>. A text is characterized as credible when it offers an objective representation of the topic with sufficient evidences to support his/her claim. But here the author merely passes his judgment without any evidence to back it which shows the bias. This puts the trustworthiness of the content in question. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
Both Hemingway and Fitzgerald were renowned writers from the Lost Generation. They both came of age during World War I and thus their writings too were inspired by their experiences during the war and after. Through their respective novels 'The Sun Also Rises' and 'The Great Gatsby', both touch on the materialistic lifestyle of the rich people of that generation and speak out on behalf of those who were concerned about the disillusionment and shift in the values of the western civilization.
A His capture of Vicksburg prevented shipments of Confederate supplies from reaching the West.
William T. Sherman's siege and eventual capture of Vicksburg led to the severing of the western half of the confederate states from the east, leading to the South having problems moving supplies and man across, and effectively cut off all trade, weakening the CSA.
B His march destroyed Georgia and demonstrated the military superiority of the Union troops.
Sherman's famous "March to the Sea" was directed through the state Georgia, in which the soldiers destroyed many infrastructures, and burned crops. They also freed slaves in the surrounding area, which swelled their ranks.
D His capture of Atlanta facilitated the reelection of Lincoln as president.
Many Northerners were complaining that Lincoln was not doing much to help the war (as the North progressed slowly), and looked to a general that Lincoln had laid off, George McClellan, who headed the Democratic Party and promised a speedy treaty with the South with favorable terms for both sides. However, victory by Lincoln's generals meant that the people had faith in him again, and so they reelected him.

It is NOT C, because Sherman's march to the sea was through Georgia, and in no way did it progress near the Gulf of Mexico (meaning that he cut through Texas).

African Americans are still denied equal voting rights in South Carolina.
