Answer:

The Shays Rebellion was a revolt thatoccurred in Western

Massachusetts in the years 1786-1787. It was an uprising caused by harsh living conditions aimed at preventing foreclosures and the execution of debts.

Explanation:

The rebellion was made by farmers among which many were ex-soldiers of the revolutionary war. Farmers were having difficulties in their production because what they previously bought in credit and paid with barter, in the 1780s was starting to demand to be paid in hard currency.

There was no paper money, gold or silver in circulation for the farmers to pay their debts. The economy was going through a depression having lost credit privileges of the British Empire. Bankers and country retailers were pressing the farmers for they to bear the burden of the bills the revolution had left, that is the need for the reorganization of debt and credit needed for the US to be part of the global economy of the late 18th century.

In the uprising the farmer Daniel Shays was one of the leaders of it and led other farmers into attacking the debtor's courts. They demanded reformations against foreclosures and high taxes.

The Shays' Rebellion is considered with one of the last events of the Revolutionary period and was an important cause of the Constitutional Convention (1787) as it was clear for conservatives that the government had to be stronger and that a Constitution was needed.

One primary cultural effect of the sheet music published in Tin Pan Alley was to: "offer job opportunities in the arts to African American musicians."

This is evident in the fact that the Tim Pan Alley musicians sang songs that promote the mentality of the United States citizens.
Their songs also assist in reducing the racial and national tensions, especially people of African American descent.

Answer:

ExplSome common elements of Black Codes were:

Race was defined by blood; the presence of any amount of black blood made one black.

Employment was required of all freedmen; violators faced vagrancy charges.

Freedmen could not assemble without the presence of a white person.

Freedmen were assumed to be agricultural workers and their duties and hours were tightly regulated.

Freedmen were not to be taught to read or write.

Public facilities were segregated.

Violators of these laws were subject to being whipped or branded.

Some Black Codes in Louisiana:

No negro shall be permitted to preach, exhort, or otherwise declaim to congregations of colored people, without a special permission in writing from the president of the police jury.

Every negro is required to be in the regular service of some white person, or former owner, who shall be held responsible for the conduct of said negro. But said employer or former owner may permit said negro to hire his own time by special permission in writing, which permission shall not extend over seven days at any one time.

No negro shall be permitted to rent or keep a house within said parish. Any negro violating this provision shall be immediately ejected and compelled to find an employer; and any person who shall rent, or give the use of any house to any negro, in violation of this section, shall pay a fine of five dollars for each offence.

Some Black Codes in Mississippi:

All freedmen, free negroes, or mulattoes who do now and have herebefore lived and cohabited together as husband and wife shall be taken and held in law as legally married, and the issue shall be taken and held as legitimate for all purposes; that it shall not be lawful for any freedman, free negro, or mulatto to intermarry with any white person; nor for any white person to intermarry with any freedman, free negro, or mulatto; and any person who shall so intermarry, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and on conviction thereof shall be confined in the State penitentiary for life; and those shall be deemed freedmen, free negroes, and mulattoes who are of pure negro blood, and those descended from a negro to the third generation, inclusive, though one ancestor in each generation may have been a white person.

All freedmen, free negroes and mulattoes in this State, over the age of eighteen years, found on the second Monday in January, 1866, or thereafter, with no lawful employment or business, or found unlawfully assembling themselves together, either in the day or night time, and all white persons so assembling themselves with freedmen, free negroes or mulattoes, or usually associating with freedmen, free negroes or mulattoes, on terms of equality, or living in adultery or fornication with a freed woman, free negro or mulatto, shall be deemed vagrants, and on conviction thereof shall be fined in a sum not exceeding, in the case of a freedman, free negro or mulatto, fifty dollars, and a white man two hundred dollars, and imprisoned at the discretion of the court, the free negro not exceeding ten days, and the white man not exceeding six months.

If any freedman, free negro, or mulatto, convicted of any of the misdemeanors provided against in this act, shall fail or refuse for the space of five days, after conviction, to pay the fine and costs imposed, such person shall be hired out by the sheriff or other officer, at public outcry, to any white person who will pay said fine and all costs, and take said convict for the shortest time.
