Answer:
The New Deal involved the redistribution of wealth, which is every conservative's greatest fear
Explanation:
Conservatives strongly believe in small government, low taxes, no handouts and letting Wall Street do its thing without government interference. These bedrock principles work really well--until they don't. In 1929, an under-regulated stock market collapsed. The people who weathered the storm (and there were some) believed that letting the market fix itself was the obvious solution to the problem, and Herbert Hoover was more than willing to let it try.
Three years in, it still wasn't working. Franklin Roosevelt's approach was to create a lot of public works projects where the government would tax the wealthy and pay the poor to paint banks, dig ditches and fix up the Tennessee Valley. He also closed the banks to prevent depositors from emptying them and keeping the cash in their mattresses until the troubles passed.
America survived the Depression by socializing itself to a pretty minor degree, until the war began and the war effort put most people back to work again. Conservatives at the time believed that a program of tax breaks and less regulation would have done the job better, but that just wasn't most Americans' reality.

History of Slavery in Nigeria
Although local slavery was officially prohibited by the colonial British administration from the mid-1880s, they tacitly permitted it to continue well into the 1930s, ending completely only in the 1940s.
Answer:
The northern soil and climate favored smaller farmsteads rather than large plantations. Industry flourished, fueled by more abundant natural resources than in the South, and many large cities were established (New York was the largest city with more than 800,000 inhabitants). By 1860, one quarter of all Northerners lived in urban areas. Between 1800 and 1860, the percentage of laborers working in agricultural pursuits dropped drastically from 70% to only 40%. Slavery had died out, replaced in the cities and factories by immigrant labor from Europe. In fact an overwhelming majority of immigrants, seven out of every eight, settled in the North rather than the South. Transportation was easier in the North, which boasted more than two-thirds of the railroad tracks in the country and the economy was on an upswing.
Explanation:
The fertile soil and warm climate of the South made it ideal for large-scale farms and crops like tobacco and cotton. Because agriculture was so profitable few Southerners saw a need for industrial development. Eighty percent of the labor force worked on the farm. Although two-thirds of Southerners owned no slaves at all, by 1860 the South's "peculiar institution" was inextricably tied to the region's economy and culture. In fact, there were almost as many blacks - but slaves and free - in the South as there were whites (4 million blacks and 5.5 million whites). There were no large cities aside from New Orleans, and most of the ones that did exist were located on rivers and coasts as shipping ports to send agricultural produce to European or Northern destinations.
