1. B, "rely and wait", I don't really understand this option, but I selected it because the South's strategy at the beginning of the Civil War was a defensive strategy and that means waiting
2. A, "high tariffs" always protects domestic industry by causes the purchase price of foreign manufactured goods more expensive.
3. A, "young single women", I chose this one mainly because it was the best answer. In general mill workers were young single women, but children were also hired frequently
4. C, The Fugitive Slave act, required all citizens to aid in the capture of runaway slaves and return them servitude
5. C, The defeat of Burgoyne's army in upstate New York, gave the Americans a much needed victory and convinced France that the colonists could win a major battle against the British.
