which statement below best describes why so few children attended schools in america prior to the civil war?
a. there were not nearly enough qualified teachers.
b. few children knew how to read printed material.
c. most parents did not care for any education.
d. children often worked alongside their parents.

The correct answer is B) Few children knew how to read printed material.

The statement that best describes why so few children attended schools in America before the Civil War is " Few children knew how to read printed material."

Of course, there were schools in those years but the poor people were illiterate, did not how to read, and some times had to work helping the family in the farming fields. Local churches or local communities provided education in some parts of the Southern states, instead of formal education institutes. More than educative programs or policies, many teachers taught by their own experiences and resources.

i think the answer would happen to be the letter b

because the bar never runs out

couples always argue

might be agreeing to participate ethically with other european nations in the slave trade

or notifying other european nations when taking possession   of african territories
