*The Civil War was about Northern businessmen trying to bankrupt Southern farmers by emancipating their enslaved workforce.
*The Civil Rights movement in America brought much needed recognition to the rampant discrimination throughout America.

Answer 1

The Civil War was about Northern businessmen trying to bankrupt Southern farmers by emancipating their enslaved workforce.

England developed a fair and just taxation system for the American Colonies

The U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War was a rousing success.

Answer 2

The fallacious arguments are:

The Civil War was about Northern businessman trying to bankrupt Southern farmers by emancipating their enslaving work force.

England developed a fair and just taxation system for the American Colonies.

Both sentences have fallacious arguments.

A fallacy is a wrong idea or a belief that is not true. In the case of the question, the first sentence is a fallacy because the Civil War was not about that argument. The Union wanted to have abolishment ideas that were not supported by the Confederated States. In the case of the second sentence, that is also a fallacy. The taxation system imposed by the English was not fair. It was a heavy taxation system that upset the colonies and that was one of the reasons to start the American Revolution.
