The answer is A. That slavery was still allowed in a free nation.
One of the things the colonists fought for was freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press along with other things.
However, for hundreds of thousands of slaves torn away from their homes, they had none of these freedoms. They were considered inferior and not people.
A paradox is a statement that seems absurd of self-contradictory, which this statement very much is. If the U.S. is a free nation, then why do hundreds of thousands of people living there have no freedoms, stolen from them by the very people who advocated for their own freedom?
Hope this helps!
Maquiladoras are "assembly-for-export factories along the Mexican border." In Spanish, "máquina" means "machine," so we can think that "maquiladora" (which sounds similar) has to do with making machines, or that the maquiladora itself is run like a machine, since the employees often work in assembly lines. Another word for "maquiladora" is "maquila," which further bolsters this word association to "máquina."
Answer:
Otto Von Bismarck
Explanation:
Otto Von Bismark became the first chancellor of Germany and masterminded the unification of Germany in 1871. The idea for the unification became necessary during the 16th and 17th centuries because the country remained split into city-states, different from Britain and France. Germany's city-states had its ruling king, which explained a lack of political solidarity. A sense of nationalism was coming up, and Bismark wanted to build a nation by uniting. Germany got its unification with the help of the Prussian Army and bureaucracy in 1871.
