Refer to the passage. "The issue is socialism vs. capitalism. I am for socialism because I am for humanity. We have been cursed by the reign of gold long enough. Money constitutes no proper basis of civilization. The time has come to regenerate society—we are on the eve of universal change.”

Excerpt from an open letter to the American Railway Union in 1897, by Eugene Debs, founder and member of the Industrial Workers of the World

Which of the following best explains why Russians’ reaction to socialism differed from Americans’ in the late 19th century?

Russian society was largely agricultural, while American society was highly industrialized.
The Russian movement was a broad coalition, but the American movement was composed of only workers.
Russian workers lacked avenues of protest, while American workers had labor unions and political parties.
The Russian movement worked separately from less radical factions, while the American movement worked directly with more radical groups.

Russian workers lacked avenues of protest, while American workers had labor unions and political parties.

Explanation:

Russian workers in the late 19th century did not have a lot of avenues to protest because they were under an autocratic emperor known as the Tsar and the nobles and upper classes controlled the economy with a tight grip. They were therefore unable to declare their support for Socialism even if they supported it.

This was in sharp contrast to the freedom enjoyed by the Americans when they protested as they were in a democracy and had labor unions and political parties through which they could make their voices heard and champion their cause.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
