While the South utilized slavery to sustain its culture and grow cotton on plantations, the North prospered during the Industrial Revolution. Northern cities, the center of industry in the United States, became major metropolises due to an influx of immigrants. With this willing and cheap workforce, the North did not require a slave system. Although some northerners found the institution of slavery morally reprehensible, most did not believe in complete racial equality either. Slavery became even more divisive when it threatened to expand westward because non-slave holding white settlers did not want to compete with slaveholders in the new territories.

Answer:

1. If it were blm protesters, there would've been shoootings, deaths, tear gas, police officers punching and kicking protesters because the way America views and treats black people, minorities, and poc. They are treated as such that their life doesn't matter and white people are superior and more important.

2. The impact of yesterday's event at the capital proves that white privilge is real. They practically walked into the capital. The difference between that and blm protests is blm supporters are fighting for racial injustice and the trump supporters who raided and destroyed the capital are throwing tantrums cause trump lost. Especially the fact that the president of the US ENCOURAGED them to destroy and raid the capital. And many important people were inside and could've been killed like Mike Pence for instance. He put his on VP in danger. And the trump supporters at the capital were breaking the law by breaking in, smashing desks, stealing mail (which is fraud btw), and be all kinds of violent for what? because trump lost. And they only got treated a fraction of what blm supporters would've been treated

3. No i completely disagree with the methods of the "protesters" at the capital. They werent even protesters. They were criminals and rioters. Breaking the law. There are many other ways they could've done it. They could've simply had a peaceful protest like many BLM supporters did.

According to this text what was galileo accused of doing wrong and what was his punishment

abruzzese [7]

Because I'm not sure what text you're referring to, I can only talk on what I know about Galileo. Because he created the telescope and was able to provide more legitimate evidence to support Copernicus' Heliocentric Theory, he began proving that some of the Church's teachings were not correct. This was deemed heresy (to go against the belief and teachings of those around you in a way that seems like betrayal rather than freedom of thought)
