<span>This change happened gradually. Quakers were some of the first people in the Americas to own slaves. However, objections were brought up by Dutch Quakers in the 18th century that changed the Christian sect's outlook on owning slaves. From these objections, Quakers gradually stopped owning slaves and became some of the most vocal abolitionists. The Quaker biblical justification was in the verse Matthew 7:12 which stated that Christians had a responsibility to adhere to a higher standard of living morally. The Quakers did not believe owning slaves was a part of living up to these standards.</span>

What effect did improvements in transportation have on American settlements
DanielleElmas [232]

During the 1800's, transportation in the form of railroads improved trading and selling of goods and services in the U.S. The railways created major cities along their route and allowed not only goods, but people to go west.

Farming in the west was important during this time period. Before railroad systems, people usually lived, worked, and farmed close to the coastal areas, so travel and shipment of goods was easier. Railroads changed that. Traveling via train was easy and cheaper.

do you agree with how the government has responded to the crisis in the past 4 has the government been too involved in the econo
harina [27]

Answer:

The government has had a mostly appropriate response to the crisis, because it has dealt with the economic crisis by implementing expansionary fiscal and monetary policy, which is what has to be done in this type of situation according to most economists.

However, the government could always do more: stimulus checks could be higher, taxes could be lowered, or made more efficient, and public works boosted by public spending could be approved in larger numbers.

What year did George Washington become president and when did his presidency end?​
Leya [2.2K]

Explanation:

The presidency of George Washington began on April 30, 1789, when Washington was inaugurated as the first president of the United States, and ended on March 4, 1797. Washington took office after the 1788–89 presidential election, the nation's first quadrennial presidential election, in which he was elected unanimously.

John Adams was again elected vice-president as the runner-up, this time getting the vote of a majority of electors. George Clinton won the votes of only Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, his native New York, and a single elector in Pennsylvania.
