Answer:

The correct answer is C. Frustrated with artifically high prices, many farmers joined the Populist Party.

Explanation:

In the final decades of the nineteenth century, small and medium-sized landowners became impoverished, mainly due to the fall in the prices of agricultural products as a result of the increase in national production and the growing international competition resulting from the cultivation of new lands in Argentina, Australia, Canada and Russia and the drop in the price of transport. With the collapse of agricultural prices, there was an increase in production and transport costs by rail, which led them to borrow heavily. In 1890, more than a quarter of the family farms were mortgaged, a percentage that was close to 50% in the Midwestern states- and many owners became tenants of their own lands. That is why railroads, bankers and merchants were identified as the enemies of the impoverished peasants. They also felt prejudiced by the tariff policy of the federal government to protect the industry and by the restrictive monetary policy that contributed to keeping prices low and making loans more expensive. That is why, as an alternative, they proposed bimetallism and the free minting of money, putting an end to the "Crime of 73", referring to the year 1873 when the free minting of silver coins was ended through the Coinage Act.

The plight of the peasantry of the south and the midwest led them to organize. In 1867 Oliver H. Kelley, a farmer from Minnesota, founded in the south The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, better known by its abbreviated name The Grange. Eight years later, in 1875, the Greenback Party was constituted, which had as its main point of its program, hence its name, the increase in the issuance of banknotes (popularly known as greenback) to stop the fall in agricultural prices - but the party dissolved in the late 1880s. In 1877, the Farmers' Alliance was born in Texas, which soon spread to other southern and mid-western states. When in 1890 Congress rejected their proposal that the Treasury grant credits to farmers at 1% interest - and that they be allowed to store their grain in government silos - the Alliance members organized themselves politically to defend their interests and helped to found the Populist Party.

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Islam as a religion began with the message which was spread by Islam’s Prophet and God’s Messenger Muhammad ibn Abdallah in the Arabian Peninsula in 610 CE and which was contained in the Qur’an, God’s revelation to Muhammad. After Muhammad’s death in 632, his followers, the Muslims, embarked on successive waves of conquest of the Middle East and beyond; within less than a century, they had political and military control of virtually all the lands between India and Spain. The exercise of this control came from a state that was called the caliphate, its ruler being viewed as the caliph, or “successor,” to the Prophet Muhammad. In the first few decades, the state, based in Arabia, was simple and its ruler elected on the basis of merit. However, following the expansion, it soon turned into a complex, multi-national empire ruled by dynasties based in Syria first (the Umayyads, 661-750 CE) and then in Iraq (the Abbasids, 750-1258 CE). The caliphal system became weakened in the later ninth century, and by the tenth century, real power had moved to several local dynasties although the caliph remained the nominal head of the empire. The Abbasid empire and most of the local dynasties were overrun and practically destroyed by the Mongol invasion of the Middle East in 1258. That invasion ended not only the early phase of Islamic history, but also the “Golden Age” of Islamic civilization, which had been developing slowly from the beginning of this period. The “Golden Age” refers to the period when the varied contributions of Islamic civilization reached their peak in both the indigenous Islamic disciplines (such as Islamic law) and the newly imported disciplines of late antiquity (such as philosophy).
