The primary energy source in the US is fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. Hydroelectic and solar are very very small in comparison (about 10 to 15 times less of those is used than fossil fuels).
Industrialization - the United States was primarily a farming country up to the Industrial Revolution. With industrialization came a total switch in the types of jobs people performed. Working in a factory or an office is completely different from working a farm.
Immigration - with all these new factory jobs being created the need for cheap almost expendable labor was required. Industries knew this and encouraged immigration; immigrants knew this and flocked to America to work the factories for a decent wage (at least to them). Native-born Americans didn't like this - immigrants took their jobs, and at lower wages!
Urbanization - in the reverse of farming communities, great cities arose surrounded by factories and offices. The jobs were there, but the pollution spewed by industry and the low wages paid was not much of an improvement over dirt-poor farming.
On the whole, the switch from an agrarian society (farming) to an industrial society (big factories in big cities) played havoc with American life. Hope this helps a lot by By Hugi445:)
In contract law, undue influence differs from duress in that duress includes improper threat which is missing in undue influence. Duress is the use of any kind of threat, force or psychological pressure in order to dominate someone and make him take decisions against his will. The two principal categories of duress are physical and economic duress.
Physical duress is when one party uses a threat of bodily harm or death to make another party agree to a certain contract. Physical duress can be inflicted on individuals as well as goods. Economic duress is when any type of economic pressure is used by a party to force the other party to enter into an illegal contract which they would not have agreed to otherwise.
Giving someone life threats if they do not perform a given task is an example of duress.
