Which of the following statements corrects a false belief about the civil war and would make the information in the passage more accurate? lincoln enforced the writ of habeas corpus to prevent confederate troops from entering maryland. maryland was a slave state that surrounded washington, d. c., on the north, east, and south. maryland was important to the union because it surrounded the capital and because it had outlets to the sea. virginia was a free state that surrounded washington, d. c., on the west and south.

Maryland was a slave state that surrounded Washington, D.C., on the north, east, and south.

Explanation:

In 1861, the American Civil War began. The population of the state was divided. Many wanted their secession from the Union and the union of the state with the newly formed Confederate States of America - of a slave-like character. Others, in turn, wanted the state to remain in the Union - the industrialized northern states of the United States, or the United States itself, which were against slavery.

The Union wasted no time in expecting if Maryland remained in the Union or moved to the Confederacy. This is because the state of Virginia was one of the states that left the United States. If Maryland also seceded, the American capital, Washington, DC, located between Maryland and Virginia, would be completely surrounded by the Confederacy. Union troops invaded Maryland early in the war, and the state participated throughout the American Civil War as a northern state. Several of the state's men fought on the Union side. But many others fled Maryland and joined Confederate troops. Maryland was the scene of numerous battles, including the Battle of Antietam, where more than 22,000 soldiers (12,000 Northerners and 10,000 Southerners) died in a single day. In 1864, Maryland passed a new constitution abolishing slavery and taking severe penalties on citizens who had endured the Confederacy.

explanation:

the american entry into world war i came in april 1917, after more than two and a half years of efforts by president woodrow wilson to keep the united states out of the war.

apart from an anglophile element urging early support for the british, american public opinion reflected that of the president: the sentiment for neutrality was particularly strong among irish americans, german americans, and scandinavian americans, as well as among church leaders and among women in general. on the other hand, even before world war i had broken out, american opinion had been more negative toward germany than toward any other country in europe. over time, especially after reports of atrocities in belgium in 1914 and following the sinking of the passenger liner rms lusitania in 1915, american citizens increasingly came to see germany as the aggressor in europe.

wilson, as president, made virtually all the key decisions over foreign policy. while the country was at peace american banks made huge loans to britain and france, which were used mainly to buy munitions, raw materials, and food from across the atlantic. until 1917, wilson made minimal preparations for a land war and kept the united states army on a small peacetime footing, despite increasing demands for enhanced preparedness. he did, however, expand the united states navy.

in 1917, with russia experiencing political upheaval, and with britain and france low on credit, germany appeared to have the upper hand in europe, while the ottoman empire, germany's ally, held on to its territory in modern-day iraq, syria and israel. at this point germany decided to resume unrestricted submarine warfare. its goal was to starve britain into surrender, although it realized that this would almost certainly bring the united states into the war. germany also made a secret offer to mexico regain territories lost in the mexican–american war in an encoded telegram known as the zimmerman telegram, which was intercepted by british intelligence. publication of that communique outraged americans just as german u-boats started sinking american merchant ships in the north atlantic. wilson then asked congress for "a war to end all wars" that would "make the world safe for democracy", and congress voted to declare war on germany on april 6, 1917.

on december 7, 1917, the u.s. declared war on austria-hungary.

u.s. troops began arriving on the western front in large numbers in 1918.
