Answer:

1A, 2B, 3A, 4D, 5 "As still more Confederates joined in the battle, they forced the Union soldiers back to the edge of the bluff. Some fell or jumped to their deaths while many stumbled down the deep slope." The eighth paragraph is evidence too.

Explanation:

The first clue that shows a "terrible defeat" is the heading that reads, "A terrible mistake." Another way to tell is to understand the text is painting an awful way to die for many Union soldiers caught off guard by the many Confederate soldiers.

matrenka [14]

They bought complex social and economic changes that led to riots, strikes and the emergence of the unions.

They showed no concern for their workers, keeping their wages at a minimum, and reduced them as they felt fit. Many of them suffered poor standards of living while the Robber Barons lived luxurious lives.

Because of them today money goes around the world so that people could either become rich or poor
