True or False The American Civil War had little impact on Canada.?

This question is actually too complex for a simple true or false answer. The war had little direct effect on Canada - there were no invasions of Canadian territory and Canadian soldiers were never involved in the war. The US Civil War was quite profitable for Canada, as British Canadian merchants could buy northern goods and ship them to the southern states and vice versa. Draft dodgers and deserters often went to Canada to escape military service. Confederates held in northern camps or prisons sometimes escaped to the safety of Canada. Immigrants entering the US were subject to the draft and some immigrants therefore chose Canada over the US during the war. Some Canadians chose to come to the US to fight for the Union cause.


What was scuttage?

Scuttage was a practice in ancient Rome where soldiers could pay a fee to avoid military service. This payment allowed individuals to escape the obligations of conscription, often used by those who were wealthy enough to afford it. The term is derived from the Latin word "scutagium," which referred to the shield tax levied on citizens to fund military campaigns. The practice highlighted social inequalities, as it allowed the affluent to evade service while poorer citizens were compelled to fight.

What did the abolitionists do?

The abolitionists were people who were against slavery in the 1800's, and believed in the immediate end and abolishment of slavery in America. Abolitionists sought to pass laws preventing the spread of slavery. They helped Southern slaves escape to Canada, many using the organized network of the Underground Railroad. Some abolitionists just helped slaves tell their story. In 1860, the election of pro-abolition congressmen led to the secession of the Southern slave states to form the Confederacy, leading to the Civil War.


What did some people do to escape the war?

During times of war, many people sought to escape the conflict by fleeing to neighboring countries or regions perceived as safer. Some individuals attempted to find refuge by joining humanitarian organizations or seeking asylum in nations with more stable conditions. Others relied on underground networks to facilitate their escape, hiding from military authorities and navigating dangerous routes. Additionally, some families chose to relocate internally within their country to avoid the worst of the fighting.
