History
1 answer:
rusak2 [61]3 years ago

Answer:

In peacetime during America's early decades, most of the federal government's revenue came from import taxes called tariffs. The U.S. Congress passed the Tariff Act of 1789 to help generate revenue to pay off its war debts and to encourage and protect manufacturers in the northern states.

Explanation:

The three main sources of federal tax revenue are individual income taxes, payroll taxes, and corporate income taxes. Other sources of tax revenue include excise taxes, the estate tax, and other taxes and fees.

The chief way the government gets the money it spends is through taxation. Figure 1 shows the relative sizes of sources of federal government tax revenues. Forty-five percent of federal tax revenue comes from individuals' personal income taxes. Another 39 percent comes from Social Security and Medicare withholdings.

Between the years of 1923 and 1929, America enjoyed one of the most affluent periods in its history. True or False
Goryan [66]
I would say true because this was the time of "boom", as we called it.

A lot of mass production and all that ( More making  cars, food, and lots more )

After that, however, was around the Great Depression, when lot's of things and people were lost.

Glad I could help, and good luck!

Who does Lincoln say is engaged in a great civil war?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: He was speaking in general to stop fighting and shedding each others blood! Hope this helps

Explanation:

In November of 1863 President Abraham Lincoln was invited to attend the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Seventeen acres adjacent to the town's regular cemetery had been purchased for the burial of the soldiers killed in the Battle of Gettysburg. The chief orator was to be the eloquent Edward Everett of Massachusetts. Mr. Lincoln would then add a few appropriate remarks in honor of the dead. Everett ended up speaking for about two hours; Lincoln spoke for less than three minutes.

While in Gettysburg, where would the president stay? David Wills, a Gettysburg attorney, was the chairman of the cemetery board. His home fronted on the public square. Wills invited the president to stay overnight at his home.

The president rode to Gettysburg on a special train of four cars furnished by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The train left Washington, D.C. and traveled through Maryland to Baltimore. There it was transferred to the North Central tracks and proceeded on that line to Hanover Junction, Pennsylvania. There it changed to the Hanover Line for the remainder of the trip to Gettysburg.

Lincoln arrived in Gettysburg at 5:00 P.M. on November 18. He ate dinner and spent the night at Wills' mansion before giving his famous address the next day.

Explain why sectionalism was one of the causes of the Civil War.
wolverine [178]

Given that sectionalism deals with restriction of interest to a narrow sphere; undue concern with local interests or petty distinctions at the expense of general well-being.

Also, that the south was the raciest towards people that looks different than them. Then it only stands to reason that the sectionalism was the one thing that the North did not like which led to the Civil War.
