who was put in jail without a trial during suspension of habeas corpus during the civil war?

• some confederate soldiers captured in battle
• people in the north who were acting against the union
• many people who were escaping enslavement
• northern citizens who spoke out to criticize the union

Explanation:

During the Civil War, the suspension of habeas corpus allowed jailing without trial. People in the North acting against the Union (e.g., Confederate sympathizers) and Northern citizens criticizing the Union were targeted. Captured Confederate soldiers were prisoners of war, not jailed without trial for suspicion. Those escaping enslavement were not the focus here. So the applicable options are people acting against the Union in the North and Northern citizens criticizing the Union.

Answer:

• People in the North who were acting against the Union
• Northern citizens who spoke out to criticize the Union
