Answer 1

The correct answers are as followed:

1) Large cities and many factories were located in the Northeast- In the Northeast, the climate was not suitable for agriculture. This is why many Northern states turned to factories and industrialization. This allowed Northern states to hire a significant amount of unskilled workers, resulting in increased migration and immigration to these cities.

2) B) Black Slaves and C) Tobacco Kings. - Slavery in the South resulted in the enslavement of millions of blacks during the 1800's. Before the Civil War began, roughly 4 million blacks were enslaved. Along with this, the development of rich plantation owners developed during this era. One of the most important crops was tobacco, resulting in the development of "Tobacco Kings"

3) A) Adjust to freedom and protect their civil rights- The Freedmen's Bureau was a federal organization created during the era of Reconstruction (the twelve year period after the Civil War). The goal of this program was to help newly freed African-Americans to become integrated into American society. This included protecting their constitutional right to vote as well as helping them seek work where they would actually get paid for their services.
