5. The correct answer is (E). The word war is one clue, as is the
phrase “the anomaly of a premium.” The word war will help you
eliminate choice (D). Although the United States did fight the
Spanish-American War in the 1890s, the war lasted only three
months, not long enough to create an economy that would need
additional workers. The time frame of the questions in this group
will help you eliminate choice (A). Question 4 is about Andrew
Johnson’s impeachment, so an answer about the Civil War for
question 5 cannot be correct. (Contraband was the name given
to slaves who escaped behind the Union lines.) You might think
exodusters, choice (C), is correct, because the quotation uses the
word exodus, but the exodusters moved west, not north, shortly
after the Civil War. The phrase about a premium on African
Americans indicates that they were in demand; this would equate
with the need for workers in the North as the nation geared up
for World War I, choice (E). No similar movement occurred
during the Vietnam War because so many African Americans
already lived in the North, choice (B). Don’t be confused by the
Great Migration that brought some 20,000 Puritans to Massachu-
setts Bay.
