Question 01 - FGV 2005 - Economics - 1st Phase - The 1860 US presidential election was won by Abraham Lincoln, a northerner and leader of the Republican Party. Not all federation units accepted the electoral result, and some southern states created the Confederate States of America. It was the beginning of the Civil War, the result of the numerous differences between the North and South states.
Among these differences, one can point out a) the land issue, in which the South defended access to land for freed blacks, and the North defended access only through purchase. b) the banking issue, in which the South defended the creation of a national issuing bank, and the North, the formation of regional and private banks. c) the antagonistic proposal for the customs policy, in which the North defended protectionism, while the South supported free trade. d) the issue of slavery, in which the South defended the immediate abolition of this institution, and the North wanted the gradual end of slavery. e) the defense of the Homestead Act by the North and the South, although, in the view of the North, this law should only serve men recently freed from slavery.
Question 02 - UVA 2009.2 - "Without malice against anyone, with charity for all, firmly on the right path, as far as God allows us to see right, we will fight to finish the work in which we are in", wrote Abraham Lincoln, near the end of the Civil War. . It can be said that the Civil War (1861 - 1865) in the United States resulted in:A. the disagreement between North Americans, who wanted to decimate the indigenous population, and the British, who were in favor of using it in farming.B. of disagreements between the northern and southern states of the United States on various issues, including slavery. C. of the conflicts between employers and workers, as the latter began their struggle against capitalist exploitation.D. the struggle of the American people against British colonial rule, which forced Americans to pay heavy taxes.
Question 03 - FUVEST 2014 - Transfer – Due to its duration and breadth, the Civil War foreshadowed the great wars of the 20th century:it was already a total war, the kind in which the adversaries committed all their resources and all their forces. It lined up considerable forces – two million men for the North, between 700,000 and one million for the South –, whose equipment, supplies of material, ammunition, subsistence, created delicate problems for the General Staffs and Governments and mobilized all the resources of the economy.René Rémond, History of the United States. São Paulo:Martins Fontes, 1989, p.65. The situation referred to in the text above could only exist because a) the United States and the Soviet Union, in the 20th century, competed militarily for the political hegemony of the globe. b) the United States, in the 18th century, were, alongside the Great Britain, the pioneers of the Industrial Revolution.c) the south of the United States was already heavily industrialized in the mid-nineteenth century, while the north was mostly agrarian and slave-holding.d) the nineteenth century saw a long period of generalized industrialization, directly related to the war industry in several countries. e) the passage from the 18th to the 19th century marked a global context without major armed conflicts, only resumed with the Civil War in the United States.
Question 04 - FUVEST 2000 - Among the changes that took place in the United States after the Civil War (1861-1865), the following stand out:

d) the incentive to the arrival of immigrants and the definitive occupation of the west, whose borders, in 1865, were still in the Rocky Mountains.
e) the impoverishment and humiliation of the South, which, defeated by the North, was thrown out of the spheres of federal power and had its reconstruction prevented.
Question 05 - UFF 2001 -The Civil War, in the United States of America, promoted the implantation of new bases for the American nation, because the victory of the North:(A) unleashed the racist movement of opposition to the development of American modernization that culminated in the foundation of the Klu -Klux-Klan;(B) accelerated the process of establishing capitalism in the South, allowing the unification of markets, urban development and the better use of raw materials and agricultural products from the South;(C) it did not mean the elimination of the weight South that, at the beginning of the 20th century, resumed its economic hegemony with the annexation of Texas;(D) exposed the great American dilemma of "manifest destiny" and determined the supremacy of the agrarian economic perspective over the industrial one;(E) had crucial consequences for the slaves of the South, as it produced social legislation that excluded blacks from the land, with the prohibition of the work of former slaves.
Question 06 - FUVEST 2001 - Transfer – The Civil War, fought between the anti-slavery states of the North and the South that defended the maintenance of this working relationship in the United States of America, a) was the bloodiest civil war of the 19th century. b) ended through negotiation brokered by the French Government. c) began due to the frequent slave rebellions in the South. d) allowed the recovery of California by Mexico. e) ended racial prejudice in that country
Question 07 - UTFPR 2008 - Summer - 2nd test/Group 4 - “The American Civil War is pointed out by most military strategists as an inexhaustible source of blunders in the difficult art of conducting a battle. From the beginning, it was evident that the Confederates had better commanders, possibly due to the aristocratic tradition of southern customs that associated the great landowner with the art of knowing how to lead men, while northern officers, usually coming from the middle class, had to learn to do so throughout the war. Generals on both sides generally opted for frontal attacks against their opponents' defences, taking little account of the deadly effects of barrages of fire, both artillery and entrenched infantry fusillades. The effect of this is that battles have become, more than at any other time, open-air butchers.” Regarding the American Civil War (1861-65), we can enumerate:I) The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was not accepted by the southern slave states that, shortly after the election, formed the Confederate States, with their capital in Richmond, in Virginia. The separatists passed a new constitution and even chose Jefferson Davis as provisional president.II) The southerners' fear was in vain, for Lincoln, despite being supported in the election by a coalition of artisans, workers, businessmen, farmers and smallholders, he was not politically committed to the abolitionists. III) The North American economic structure at that time made the tension between the North, bourgeois, industrial and defender of free labor, increasingly latent with the South, aristocratic, agrarian and defender of slave labor. IV) In addition to the question of the work regime, the differences between North and South also involved tariff principles:the North defended the protection of the internal market and the South was a free trader, as it depended on the export of agricultural products, especially cotton. .Only:A) I, II and III are correct.B) I, III and IV. C) II, III and IV.D) I and IV.E) I and II.

Question 08 - FUVEST 1990 - At the end of the Civil War, the Constitution of the United States underwent the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery. Southern whites:
a) dejected, emigrated en masse, not to live with blacks in conditions of political and social equality.
b) dissatisfied with the granting of rights to blacks, they developed racial segregation and created secret societies that persecuted them.
c) ruined, had their lands subjected to agrarian reform and distributed to former slaves.
d) discouraged, they abandoned agriculture and turned to industry, in order to integrate themselves into the prosperity of northern capitalism.
e) recovered, they replaced the cotton plantations with coffee, hiring their former slaves as salaried workers.

Question 09 - PUC -Rio 1998 - The statements below relate to situations and motivations that contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War (1861-65) in the United States.
1. Sectionalism, already present since the 1820s, intensified after the war against Mexico (1845), as the dispute over the incorporation of new acquired territories, as slave or free states, increased.
2. Southern slaveholders did not advocate slavery as an economic relationship alone; they defended it, above all, as a way of life, because it was with the institutions of the slave social order that their existence could gain meaning.
3. Abolitionist ideas, already widespread in the main states of the North, invaded the South from the 1830s onwards, thus aggravating the political instability in the region, generating fear in the white population and increasing repression against slaves and the population of free blacks.
4. The spread of railroads, commercially integrating East and West, ensured the rapid flow of northern manufactured products to the latter region, to the detriment of southern agricultural products.
