What was a hope of people who worked in settlement houses?

The hope for people who worked in settlement houses was to live in the settlement houses, share knowledge and culture, and alleviate poverty for their low-income neighbours.  Previously these people worked in factories thus becoming a poor working class where they lived in poorly maintained tenement buildings. It is so because they did not have money, could not afford to receive education, and lacked time to go to school as they had to work to pay for necessities.

Explanation:

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
