Why did both the Union and Confederacy care about British neutrality?

History

vodka [1.7K]3 years ago
8 0

The simple version is that both Union and Confederacy cared about British neutrality for the same reason - both sides of the same coin so to speak.

The Confederacy was an agrarian society. Their two major crops were cotton and tobacco, much of which they exported to England. Their manufacturing capabilities were minor and they relied on the income they got from their trade with England to purchase many manufactured goods, especially weapons.

The Union had considerable manufacturing capability of their own, and wanted England to stay neutral for exactly that reason, so that they (the English) would not respond militarily to the Union blockade of Confederate ports, which effectively cut off the supply of arms, equipment and cash the Confederacy needed to survive.

Before the 1890s, who was responsible for printing election ballots? a. the national league of women voters b. state governments
SashulF [63]
Strangely enough the correct answer here would be actually D as the voting ballots before the 1890s were in fact printed by the political parties themselves. Today the printing of ballots is a very serious business and there are strict regulations and control mechanisms in place in order to stop voter fraud which unfortunately is a big issue.

According to this document do you think most people in Babylonia made money in cities or in the country
myrzilka [38]
In Hammurabi's Code document it gives laws about how to govern onself while cultivating land so it looks like most people made money in the country as peasants with the exception that when Babylon was first founded in about 1900 BC is was primarily a city-state with very little adjoining area for cultivation so initially the citizens probably made most of their money in the city.,

What strategy helped Warren G. Harding win the presidential election in 1920?
sleet_krkn [62]

Warren G. Harding won the presidential election of 1920 with 60.3% of the popular vote. This was the first time women were allowed to vote in all states, so voter turnout was unusually high as well.

The strategy Harding adopted was promising a "return to normalcy." This was a promise to return to the life that Americans enjoyed before WWI. He turned away from heroic deeds and revolution, and promised healing, restoration and serenity. It was an extremely popular proposal.
