I have a buddy that lives in the Charlotte area and his 14 yr old daughter asked me if I could be a lifeline for her during a money raising project at school...they are doing a spin of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire where each student moves on in the bracket if they score enough points......she was asked a US History question which she wasn't sure of the answer so she had the moderator call me...the question: The term abolitionist was used in the 1800's to describe people who were opposed to:

A) the civil war

B) Louisiana Purchase

C) Westward expansion

D) Slavery

I told her 100% pick D, slavery.....she texted me an hour ago and told me that the history teacher who submitted the question said the answer was A, Civil War because a majority of abolitionists were against the civil war but not all were against slavery....this makes no f'ing sense and asked her to ask the teacher what textbook he got this from...
