Question

guided practice
in the north, which group was most likely to face conscription into the military?
a. african american men
b. men with low-paying jobs
c. confederate farmers
d. wealthy white men

Explanation:

During the U.S. Civil War, Northern conscription rules allowed wealthy men to pay for substitutes or avoid service entirely. African American men were initially excluded from conscription (later allowed to enlist but not conscripted early on). Confederate farmers were in the South, not the North. This left men with low-paying jobs, who could not afford to avoid service, as the group most likely to face conscription.

Answer:

B. men with low-paying jobs
