History

The selling of unauthorized, uncertified, unstamped alcoholic drinks is referred to as bootlegging.

During the US's time of prohibition, many similar businesses arose.

The Southern regions of the nation were home to some of the most significant sites for the manufacture of spirits. Most notable were the numerous "stills" in the Appalachian mountain ranges, where it was quite simple to remain undetected by onlookers.

The "stills" were essentially home-built distilleries where whiskey was created from the region's abundant maize. It was combined with additional substances including yeast, sugar, water, and even meat.

Fermentation could take place because the materials were heated in metal vessels and the steam produced was directed via a coil of tubing. Then it was put into "jugs, or Mason jars."

It was a very basic whiskey, occasionally poisoning those who drank it. Bootleg was a phrase used to describe people who stowed their "flasks" inside the legs of their boots. As the phrase developed, it came to be used to describe those who produced and sold whiskey illegally.

History of bandaging
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

hope you like it

Explanation:

A bandage is a piece of material used either to support a medical device such as a dressing or splint, or on its own to provide support to or to restrict the movement of a part of the body. When used with a dressing, the dressing is applied directly on a wound, and a bandage used to hold the dressing in place. Other bandages are used without dressings, such as elastic bandages that are used to reduce swelling or provide support to a sprained ankle. Tight bandages can be used to slow blood flow to an extremity, such as when a leg or arm is bleeding heavily.

Bandages are available in a wide range of types, from generic cloth strips to specialized shaped bandages designed for a specific limb or part of the body. Bandages can often be improvised as the situation demands, using clothing, blankets or other material. In American English, the word bandage is often used to indicate a small gauze dressing attached to an adhesive bandage.

3. Why was life especially difficult for the first slaves?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The vast majority of labor was unpaid. The only enslaved person at Monticello who received something approximating a wage was George Granger, Sr., who was paid $65 a year (about half the wage of a white overseer) when he served as Monticello overseer.Life expectancy was short, on many plantations only 7-9 years.Industrial slaves worked twelve hours per day, six days per week. The only breaks they received were for a short lunch during the day, and Sunday or the occasional holiday during the week.Fearing that black literacy would prove a threat to the slave system -- which relied on slaves' dependence on masters -- whites in many colonies instituted laws forbidding slaves to learn to read or write and making it a crime for others to teach them.However, the health of plantation slaves was far worse than that of whites. Unsanitary conditions, inadequate nutrition and unrelenting hard labor made slaves highly susceptible to disease. Illnesses were generally not treated adequately, and slaves were often forced to work even when sick.Slaves were punished by whipping, shackling, beating, mutilation, branding, and/or imprisonment. Punishment was most often meted out in response to disobedience or perceived infractions, but masters or overseers sometimes abused slaves to assert dominance.
