Answer: c. the racial tension between Mexican Americans and mainstream society.

The zoot suit riots of 1943 were a series of conflicts between European white Americans (particularly those in the military service) and predominantly Mexican youth. The trigger for these was the youth’s preference for “zoot suits.” This type of suits required a lot of fabric to be made, which was seen by the white Americans as unpatriotic, because of the rationing of fabric that was established during the war.

While this specific reason was the main trigger, the riots also showed the underlying racial tensions that were found in American societies, particularly in large cities. The riots also seemed to have been the inspiration for several similar events that year in Philadelphia, Oakland, Chicago, San Diego, Evansville and New York City.

What was the job of the constitutional convention?
zhenek [66]
Although the Convention was intended to revise the Articles of Confederation, the intention from the outset of many of its proponents, chief among them James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, was to create a new government rather than fix the existing one. The delegates elected George Washington to preside over the Convention. The result of the Convention was the creation of the United States Constitution, placing the Convention among the most significant events in the history of the United States.

What was the Industrial Revolution?​
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<u>The Industrial Revolution is a process of transition from an agrarian, manufactory economy to an economy dominated by industrial and mechanical production.</u>

Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution is a process of transition from an agrarian, manufactory economy to an economy dominated by industrial and mechanical production. Among other technological innovations, the use of iron and steel, new energy sources, the invention of new machines that will increase production volume, and the development of a factory system and a significant shift in the field of transport and communications (including the steam engine and telegraph) were particularly significant. Major changes have also taken place in the field of agriculture; it shifted to a wider distribution of goods, and all this resulted in political changes that reflected a rebalancing of economic power and significant social change.

The Industrial Revolution began in the United Kingdom from 1760 to 1830, and then spread to Belgium and France. Other nations were late, but when Germany, the United States and Japan reached enviable industrial power, they far surpassed initial British results.
