Splitting of families--the passage accounts the selling of children and tearing apart of families at the slave block.
As slaves were not seen as capable of having family relationships, the selling of children was quite common. Children were often ripped from the arms of mothers as soon as the child could be used for labor. The reproduction of children made women valuable and allowed for slave masters and traders to make money off of the females.
As the Cold War unfolded in the decade and a half after World War II, the United States experienced phenomenal economic growth. The war brought the return of prosperity, and in the postwar period the United States consolidated its position as the world's richest country. Gross national product, a measure of all goods and services produced in the United States, jumped from about $200 thousand-million in 1940 to $300 thousand-million in 1950 to more than $500 thousand-million in 1960. More and more Americans now considered themselves part of the middle class.
The growth had different sources. The automobile industry was partially responsible, as the number of automobiles produced annually quadrupled between 1946 and 1955. A housing boom, stimulated in part by easily affordable mortgages for returning servicemen, fueled the expansion. The rise in defense spending as the Cold War escalated also played a part.
One of the major compromises made between the Northern and Southern states during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 concerned B) counting slaves in the population. As a result of this compromise the states agreed to count each slave as 3/5 of a person and the compromise thus became known as the three fifths compromise.
The correct answer is letter A.
Labor Union is a stable and permanent association of both urban-industrial, rural and service workers, who come together from the realization and resolution of common problems and needs.
