The military aspect of the United States Civil War has always attracted the most attention from scholars. The roar of gunfire, the massed movements of uniformed men, the shrill of bugles, and the drama of hand-to-hand combat have fascinated students of warfare for a century. Behind the lines, however, life was less spectacular. It was the story of back-breaking labor to provide the fighting men with food and arms, of nerve-tingling uncertainty about the course of national events, of heartbreak over sons or brothers or husbands, lost in battle. If the men on the firing line won the victories, the means to those victories were forged on the home front.
Never in the nation’s history had Americans worked harder for victory than in the Civil War. Northerners and Southerners alike threw themselves into the task of supplying their respective armies. Both governments made tremendous demands upon civilians and, in general, received willing cooperation.
By 1863 the Northern war economy was rumbling along in high gear. Everything from steamboats to shovels was needed—and produced. Denied Southern cotton, textile mills turned to wool for blankets and uniforms. Hides by the hundreds of thousands were turned into shoes and harness and saddles; iron works manufactured locomotives, ordnance, armor plate. Where private enterprise lagged, the government set up its own factories or arsenals. Agriculture boomed, with machinery doing the job of farm workers who were drawn into the army.
In short, everything that a nation needed to fight a modern war was produced in uncounted numbers. Inevitably there were profiteers with gold-headed canes and flamboyant diamond stickpins, but for every crooked tycoon there were thousands of ordinary citizens living on fixed incomes who did their best to cope with rising prices and still make a contribution to the war effort.
According to the passage, what was the civilian response towards the Civil War?
选项
A、They hated it and rose in lots of rebellions.
B、They were deeply worried and cursed it.
C、They migrated to avoid the ruthless war.
D、They went all out to supply the army.
答案
D
解析
第1段开始讲到美国内战壮丽的战争场景,然后笔锋一转,说战后方又是另一幅画面:平民们辛苦地支持着前方,关注着战事。在第2段也提到,不管是南方还是北方的人。都全力以赴地支持各自的军队。另外在第4段最后,谈到平民竭力为战争做出贡献,因此平民对于战争是积极响应和支持的.故答案为D。
