Answer:

Emmett Till's death started the Chicago Race Riots of 1919.

Explanation:

The summer of 1919 is known as the "Red Summer" because several race riots occurred within this time period. As veterans returned from fighting in WWI, many in the black community believed that having fought in the war would grant them respect and racial equality, however this was not the case. This, along with existing tensions created by overcrowding (an effect of the Great Migration) meant that racial tensions in Chicago were high. After Emmett Till was murdered, his mother had him returned home for an open casket funeral. His funeral, along with the death of another black boy, incited protests that turned into violent riots when police and white bystanders interfered. The Chicago Race Riot of 1919 is particularly famous for having been deadly and incredibly destructive, though it was not the only riot to occur that summer.

The deed is done. The . . . chains of slavery are forged for [many] yet
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a. Missouri Compromise.

Explanation:

The US government passed an agreement called the Missouri Compromise in 1820 that allowed Missouri to be a slave state. This agreement made a sectional demarcation by allowing the state of Missouri to be a slave state while making Maine a free state and also the areas north of Missouri to be also free soil.

As the issue of slavery was a burning issue for the Union, this compromise led to a backlash from the people. So, the people expressed their criticism of the 'representatives' or members of the Congress who helped in passing the controversial agreement.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.
