We can say that a person is biased when their opinion or recollection of something favors one <u>person, idea, or group</u> more so than the other. It is the inability to remain impartial.

Though it cannot be denied that the statement that was given by Lum May as to the events of November 3rd, 1885 may be biased, I do not believe his account of the occurrence is overly biased. He describes the violent nature of the altercation, the burning down of Chinese homes, and the trauma that overtook the sanity of his wife.

All of these statements made by Lum May are backed by evidence such as:

  • The piles of ashes where Chinese homes once stood
  • A similar recollection of the events from hundreds of Chinese citizens who were present
  • The unstable nature of his wife's mental health.

All of this leads us to believe that Lum May is a credible source for the events of <em>November 3rd, 1885 </em>in Tacoma.

Unlike the credible testimony of Lum May, we can infer that the letter from James Wickersham is not only extremely biased in nature, but also an overwhelmingly unreliable source of information. Many of the participants of that day were indicted for their actions, giving Mr. Wickersham much to lose were he to provide accurate information.

The evidence supporting the statements of Lum May allows us to infer that her recollection of the events is credible and not overly swayed by bias. However, the contradictory statements declared by James Wickersham and the repercussions he may face should he tell the truth, point towards his letter being an unreliable and overly biased source.

The most important goal of George's early agricultural program was to produce what
Maksim231197 [3]

____________________________________________________

Answer:

Your answer would be "agricultural commodities to export to England"

____________________________________________________

The most important goal of George's early agricultural program was to produce  agricultural commodities to export to England.

____________________________________________________

Definitions:

Agriculture:

Agriculture is the cultivation of livestock and plants. This is typically talking about farmlands, or lands that grow things.

Export:

An export is a product that is made by a country, and bought by another company, in which they export (ship) the product to the country that bought it. It is pretty much shipping stuff out of the country to other international countries.

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why "agricultural commodities to export to England" is the correct answer because Georgia's early agricultural plan was to export things like crops, or plants, and other agriculture goods to England. Agriculture was one of the main things that played a huge role in Georgia's economy, and agriculture was one of the factors that helped Georgia grow. Georgia wanted to grow more with agriculture, so they started producing many things so they could ship it to international countries and make profit from it. They produced things like silk, corn, wine, crops, plants, and etc. Since Georgia was producing a lot of these things, England had a lot of interest in getting the produce. England din't have that much opportunity to grow a lot of agricultural things, so they got things from Georgia, since they were successful in managing and producing agricultural things. Georgia's skills in agriculture benefited their economy tremendously, and was one of the things they prioritized, and that's why they made the Georgia agricultural program.

____________________________________________________

Why the other answer choices are incorrect:

Answer choice "crops to sell to other colonies. " is incorrect because:

They didn't focus on giving their produce to their own fellow colonies, and it doesn't fit with what the definition of export is. Exporting is when you send things international. If you're giving your produce to colonies in your country, you aren't exporting. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

Answer choice "enough food for the colonists to survive" is incorrect because:

Georgia supported the other colonies a lot. The other colonies had enough food to survive as a whole economy, so Georgia didn't have to worry too much about their fellow colonies. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated

Answer choice "crops to exchange with local American Indian tribes" is incorrect because:

There focus was not on the Indian tribes that were in their country. More so they didn't really care about them, since they took the land from them. Georgia was mostly focused on giving their produce to international countries, and England was a place that was international. Georgia didn't focus on giving their produce to the locals in their country, they wanted international exports. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
