Approximately 75% of the world's cotton supply came from the southern United States.

Cotton is best grown in the American South because of its long, hot summers and excellent soils in river valleys. 75% of the world's cotton was produced by Southern plantations by 1860, with shipments coming from cities like Houston, New Orleans, Charleston, Mobile, Savannah, and a few other countries.

Purchases from Europe and New England increased dramatically, from 720,000 bales in 1830 to 2.85 million in 1850 to over 5 million in 1860. After the tobacco market collapsed in the late 18th century, the manufacturing of cotton incentive to take in slavery. More slaves were required to harvest the crop as more cotton was grown. On the eve of the American Civil War in 1860, cotton made up about 60% of all exports from the United States, with an annual value of close to $200 million.

(10 points) Question 6 Unsaved How was Baton Rouge connected to the famous bus boycott led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Mont
PIT_PIT [208]

Question 6: The correct answer is the last option. Baton Rouge bus boycott’s in 1953 is connected with Martin Luther King’s bus boycott in Montgomery (1955) by being its model for strategy, tactics, and execution. The boycott in Baton Rouge was provoked by the law that states that Africa-American citizens can’t sit in front of the bus (even If it’s empty) or near white people. When Martin Luther King became inspired with the boycott in Baton Rouge, he spoke with Rev. T.J. Jamison, who organized the boycott, about the fight with social injustice and later inspired securing the tight to vote.

Question 7: The correct is the last statement. Non-violent protest was more effective because it was more forceful and direct as well as peaceful and civil. Non-violent protest was inspired by protests of Mahatma Gandhi who led Indian independence movement from British authority. His non-violent methods became powerful tool for political or social change. Martin Luther King was inspired by Gandhi and applied his non-violent methods in Civil Rights Movement from 1956. to 1968.

Question 8: The phrase “with all deliberate speed” is important for Civil Rights Movement because it represents decision of Supreme Court to desegregated schools by race and not by gender in South. After long term of series of legal battles for desegregation, the issue made its way to the Supreme Court that ruled in favor of Brown v. Board of Education and segregation on ground of race in schools was ended.

Question 9: The section 201 of the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964. applies to all persons, no matter their race, color, religion, or national origin. The law states that no matter race, religion or nation origin, all people have the same rights in public places or public accommodations (hotels, inns, motels, cafeterias, restaurants, gasoline stations etc.)

<span>Question 10: The correct answer is second statement: they were refused service. Section 201 of the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964. now promises full and equal enjoyments of services, goods, facilities, and privileges in public accommodations or any other public spaces (hotels, inns, motels, cafeterias, restaurants, gasoline stations etc.).</span>
