The time period being referred to in the statement "antebellum period" is the period before the war broke out. Here's why: - The prefix "ante" in Latin means "before." - The term "bellum" means "war" in Latin. - Putting them together, "antebellum" refers to the time before a war, specifically in this context, the American Civil War. Therefore, the correct answer is: B) the period before the war broke out.
