Answer:

Escape ramp

Explanation:

Escape ramps are usually located on steep areas, most often in mountains. Because of the long descending grades that are present in these areas, cars can achieve a high speed and brakes can overheat and fail because of extensive use. Therefore, in order to reduce accident and to protects drivers and passengers, escape ramps are placed as a safe way for cars to stop. A escape ramp is a long lane that is typically filled with sand or gravel. This allows vehicles with braking problems to safely stop.

how do the blackcode laws help you to understand what life was like in louisiana and other southern states after the civil war?
atroni [7]

Answer:

The Black Codes, sometimes called Black Laws, were laws governing the conduct of African Americans (free blacks). The best known of them were passed in 1865 and 1866 by Southern states, after the American Civil War, in order to restrict African Americans' freedom, and to compel them to work for low wages.

It helps you understand by showing you that even though African Americans were considered free, the laws were made in a way that they were still under the control of the people who once enslaved them.
