Answer:

Greenbacks were paper currency printed during the Civil War.

Explanation:

Greenbacks were the paper money printed by the United States during the Civil War. The Union used this currency to keep the economy stable and to pay for the war.

President Abraham Lincoln ordered to issue $400 million Greenbacks to raise money for the Civil War on March 10th, 1862. Since then, Greenbacks were issued intermittently during the war, but this was criticized by bankers, as they said that Greenbacks would not be supported by precious metals, therefore causing great amounts of inflation.

Explain two similarities between china and Japan in their relations with European traders during the period between 1450 and 175
Rasek [7]

Both the Chinese and the Japanese felt that the Europeans were barbarians.  They were particularly repelled by the smell of these foreigners who ate much fattier diets and who did not typically wash very often.  They also felt the Europeans lacked subtlety and were rather crass in their behaviors.

The similarities, however, largely end there.  The Chinese tried to simply ignore the Europeans.  They were able to do this to some degree because the Europeans did not have anything they wanted.  They were willing to take European silver in exchange for tea and otherwise leave the Europeans alone.  This worked until around the time of the Opium Wars when the Europeans forced China to open itself more.
