Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Irish resentment during the Civil War era was not due to a lack of support from the Democratic Party. In fact, many Irish Americans were aligned with the Democratic Party, which was more inclined to cater to the interests of immigrant communities, including the Irish, and was generally less supportive of the war and abolitionism compared to the Republican Party. The other options (A, C, D) reflect genuine sources of resentment: anti-Catholic sentiment in a predominantly Protestant country, opposition to fighting in a war that included the goal of ending slavery which they feared would put them in direct competition for jobs with freed slaves, and the challenge of fighting for a country where many of them had only recently arrived and had yet to fully integrate.
