Answer:

The increased demand, many more slaves were needed to grow cotton and harvest the fields. Slave ownership became a fiery national issue and eventually led to the Civil War

Explanation:

Before the cotton gin, cotton was a troublesome crop. It required a lot of work.

This changed dramatically with the advent of the cotton gin. Suddenly cotton became a lucrative crop and a major export for the South. However, because of this increased demand, many more slaves were needed to grow cotton and harvest the fields. Slave ownership became a fiery national issue and eventually led to the Civil War.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

If George is an utilitarian thinker he should focus on what the possible outcomes of the situation might be if it turns out the player wasn't cheating.

Explanation:

Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that determines right from wrong by focusing on outcomes. This theory says that the most ethical choice is the one that will produce the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

However, since we cannot predict the future, it is difficult to be certain of what the consequences of our actions will be.

In the example, if George is an utilitarian thinker, he will focus on outcomes. It <u>appeared to him that the other player took a card from his lap and switched it with a card that he was dealt,</u> however, <u>he cannot be sure</u> if the player is indeed cheating.

As an utilitarian thinker, George should focus on what the possible outcomes of the situation might be if it turns out the player wasn't cheating.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Before 1994, the whites of South Africa enjoyed a lot of privileges and the blacks of South Africa were actively discriminated against. When came the time to draw up a new Constitution, the whites would have wanted to protect these privileges as much as possible and the blacks would have wanted to take back those same privileges.

Drawing up a Constitution that would accommodate both views must have been quite difficult because they oppose each other and needed a compromise. Essentially, there was a need to draw a Constitution that would not enrage either race such that open hostility erupted between either of them so this was also a matter of preserving the peace.
