Occupy Wall Street began on September 17, 2011, as an organized protest in Zuccotti Park, in New York City's financial district. The movement quickly spread to other cities across the U.S., including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Occupy Wall Street defined itself as a group of activists who stand against corporate greed, social inequality, and the enormous gap between the rich and poor. We are the 99%<span>, the Occupy Wall Street protest slogan, referred to the difference between the richest 1% and the rest of the population in the United States.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The correct answers are

A) Boycotting British goods

E) Holding Spinning bees

Explanation:

The Daughters of Liberty were the female equivalent of The Sons of Liberty. Both were formal associations that were build to protest the British Stamp law and the Townshend Act on the American colonies.

The overall goal was to boycott British goods and as most women were responsible for buying groceries and other goods for their houses, they were symbols of defiance.

The Association also held regular 'spinning bees' where women would spin cloth to provide for local people. This was done in order to reduce dependence on imported textile products from Great Britain.

List three factors that caused Africa to become a growing source of slaves for the slave trade
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
1. Africans were easier to spot, color denoted their bondage status, there was nowhere to run once they were taken.

2. Africans were exposed to those who had them in bondage for quite some time, meaning they had developed immunities to many of the trifling diseases their captors carried. So they were viewed as healthier.

3. Some Africans willingly sold their enemies (who were already in slavery/ prisoners of war) in exchange for products like guns, grain, and fabrics.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Don Ray’s desire to gain insight into his home country of Canada took him to an unexpected place — Africa.
