How was korea before the war

I am not exactly sure what you mean but I will try my best to answer. North Korea and South Korea was just Korea. It was one whole country. But it was all under the rule of the same family who rule North Korea. Fun Fact: South Korea has the same type of government that the United States do.

Korea was just like any other country. They had no worries. Now they had to pay off damage fees. They had to pay off war fees. Buildings were ruined. It was all just destroyed.

confederacy: supported slavery, believed states should be able to nullify federal laws, supported low tariffs

union: everything else

c. the passage of the fifteenth amendment
