History

Answer:

The Hawley-Smoot tariff of 1930 was established with the idea of raising tariffs over imported goods.

Explanation:

The Hawley-Smoot tariff was a law established by protectionists in the United States. The law was signed on June 17, 1930, by President Herbert Hoover. The law affected more than 20000 imported goods.

These tariffs were the second-highest in 100 years in this country. This law and the fact that trading partners of the United States also decided to raise tariffs as an act of revenge provoked the decreasing of exports as well as imports in the United States during a significant period in the Depression. Many economists considered that the Hawley-Smoot tariff had a bad effect on the Great Depression.

Why did Americans begin to distrust private and public institutions (the government) less by the end of the 1960’s?
neonofarm [45]
One of the major reasons why Americans distrusted public institutions like the government was because of the publishing of the Pentagon Papers. This series of government documents that were supposed to be classified, essentially showed that the US federal government had been lying about the progress the US was making in the Vietnam War. These documents caused outrage all over the country, as thousands of American men were drafted into this military conflict for what seemed like a failed mission.

yarga [219]

They encouraged colonization by offering headrights to anyone who could pay his own way to Virginia: 50 acres for each passage.

They also used the system of indenture, in which people who did not have money, could pay their passed with a certain number of years of work and with it gain their own land.

At the end, they also turned to African slaves.
