Answer:

Option: b) Raise taxes to pay off a growing debt

Explanation:

The Estates-General was an assembly of delegates from all three of the estates (clergy, nobility, and commoners). The purpose of the meeting of the Estates-General in 1789 was to reflect on the increasing debt. The debt led the monarchy and the government to raise taxes. A debate on new taxes led to discontent among the people of the Third Estate because they had to pay high taxes while the other two enjoyed the rights and power in France.

Passage of the Lend-Lease Act in 1941 signaled the entry of the United States into World War II. the end of American neutrality
kogti [31]

The correct answer is: "the end of American neutrality in World War II"

The Lend-Lease Act was a program enacted in the US in 1941 to provide support to Allied countries so that they could defeat the axis forces (nazi Germany, fascist Italy and the Japanese Empire) in WWII, but the US had not decided to directly participate in the conflict yet.

The program consisted on the distribution of  food, oil, and all types of military materials and it remained functioning since 1941 until the end of the conflict in 1945.

Answer:  Choice C.

They worried that Lincoln would try to end slavery in the United States.

==========================================================

Explanation:

The issue of slavery was debated and fought over for many years before the election of 1860. It was only until Lincoln became president that sparked the southern states to secede, which led to the Civil War. Proof of this is found in the many Declaration of Secession documents produced by each state that left the union. This is basically a document explaining why they left the United States to form the Confederate States of America (CSA) aka the Confederacy.

In modern times, some people mistakenly claim that the Civil War wasn't over slavery but rather states' rights. This is simply false. The documents I mentioned prove that slavery was the core issue. More proof is the various states having issues with the fugitive slave act, in that the northern states didn't really adhere to the law to the level of the southern states' liking. I guess you could argue that states' rights were involved, but specifically the south fought to have the right to own slaves. In short, it's all about getting the correct context. Expanding that context, simply look at the decades preceding the war and notice all of the tension involving whether a new state was a free state vs a slave state.
