Explanation:

1. The American Civil War lasted four years and was an internal conflict in the U.S. The American Revolution was a war for independence from Britain, the Cold War was a non - direct conflict between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, and the Korean War involved the U.S. but was not an internal U.S. conflict.
2. Technology played a role in the economic boom which helped transform the U.S. into a global superpower. The transformation of life is a broad result, and globalization is a broader concept related to international connections.
3. Goods sold to another country are exports. Imports are goods brought into a country, commodities are a type of goods, and natural resources are raw materials.
4. The Cold War was the competition for world influence between the Soviet Union and the United States. The Civil War was internal to the U.S., the Korean Civil War was in Korea, and the Iron Curtain was a political boundary concept.
5. People of mixed French and Native heritage in Canada are called Metis. Frenchies is an informal and not the correct term, bilingual refers to language ability, and Natives refers to indigenous people without the mixed - heritage aspect.
6. The majority of people in Canada speak English. Spanish is not a major language in Canada, French is also an official language but not spoken by the majority, and Latin is not a commonly spoken language in daily life.
7. Canada's service industries are considered its "Economic Powerhouse". Primary industries and agricultural industries are important but not the main economic driver like service industries, and tourism is part of the service sector but not the whole.
8. French is spoken by a minority in Canada compared to English. Spanish and Latin are not major languages in Canada.
9. The official leader of the government in Canada is the Prime Minister. Senators are part of the legislative branch, representatives are in the House of Commons, and Canada does not have a President.
