The correct answer is B. False

Explanation:

In the South of the United States, slavery became common during part of the 18th and 19th century as many Africans were taken from Africa to be enslaved. However, those owning slaves were mainly wealthy people owning huge plantations as they needed a cheap labor force to earn a profit. Due to this, only around 25% or 33% of the white population owned slaves in the South during the 19th century, and these were mainly wealthy families and/or owners of plantations, while poor or middle-class families that were the majority, owned small farms they work on by themselves. Thus, it is false a large majority of the white population of the South owned slaves.

They did own slaves but not a large majority of the population so I am guessing it is false.

What 1997 global agreement to reduce greenhouse gases was signed by virtually every country in the world except for the united s

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The Kyoto Protocol

Explanation:

In the year of 1997, in Kyoto, Japan, the Kyoto Protocol was signed by pretty much everyone, apart from the United States. The purpose of the Kyoto Protocol has been to limit and decrease the carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere, based on the usage of the fossil fuels, in order to stop the global warming and the harm to the environment. While everyone agreed with it and signed it, the United States did not. The excuse of the United States was that it will harm their economy, their development, and that the country will not be able to cope with it. After that, China did the same, with the excuse of ''if they want to develop and progress, we should be able to do it as well''. Nowadays we have a situation where these countries don't obey to the Kyoto Protocol and they are responsible for almost half of the global emissions of carbon dioxide, while the smaller polluters are giving their best to decrease the usage of fossil fuels and reduce the emissions.
