Answer:

The correct answer is <em><u>D. He was the first president of the largest labor organization in the world.</u></em>

Explanation:

Samuel Gomper is one the key figures in American labor rights movements from the 19th century. His work began during a recession, where thousands of people in his city were unemployed and protesting.

He believed that each unemployed person was actually a consumer and if the Industrialists only kept on laying off people or not paying them well, it will eventually hit the pockets of the rich and degrade the economy further.

While he was a staunch anti-socialist, he did believe that proper labor representation would help in improving the lives of workers. As such, he worked to build the largest labor union in the world and was successful in improving wages and working conditions.

Answer:

c. the tariff protected industries in the North from foreign competition

Explanation:

The tariff of 1816 was implemented in order to serve as a measure of protection for the industries in the North. While this was good for the industries in the North, it was a measure that was sectional, and it neglected the interest of the South. The South actually suffered and was recording losses because of the tariff, as it made its agricultural goods less competitive on the market by having higher prices. This led to lot of tensions and disagreements about the tariff between the North and the South.
