Answer:
True
Explanation:
The Compromise of 1850 was the result of the debate over the equal representation of pro-slavery States in Congress. With the Mexican Cession, the balance seemed to favor the abolitionist States. Therefore a crisis began, with the most important matter being the incorporation of California. President Taylor felt that the matter was used by the South as a bargain chip, and finally declared California a State. Clay then brokered the Compromise, and its results were administered by Franklin Pierce who supported the general lines of the Compromise, but failed in the end to address at full the growing abyss between slaver's States and the anti-slavery States. The result was the crisis of 1860 and the break of the Civil War.

Answer:
Although African men had been required to carry passes for many decades, only in the 1950s did the government impose pass laws on African women. African women were not allowed to live in towns unless they had permission to be employed there, and extending pass laws to them made it more difficult for women without jobs to take their children and join their husbands in town. Across the country, dozens of protests against passing laws for African women took place before the Federation of South African Women (formed in 1955) and the African National Congress Women’s League organized a massive protest march in Pretoria.
On August 9, 1956, 20,000 women, representing all racial backgrounds, came from all over South Africa to march on the Union Buildings, where they stood in silent protest for 30 minutes while petitions with 100,000 signatures were delivered to the Prime Minister’s office. Many men in the anti-apartheid movement were surprised by the women’s militancy, and the protest contributed to women playing a bigger role in the struggle for freedom and democracy. August 9th now is celebrated as National Women’s Day in South Africa.

The term "Roaring '20s" refers to the decade of the 1920s in the United States, which was a time of much economic growth, as well as much social and cultural change.
In the 1920s, cities grew rapidly and industry was growing immensely in the United States. Jazz and other forms of entertainiment (like radio) were expanding and reaching new audiences. Women were becoming more involved in public life. The stock market was a place of much speculation and investment -- too much, as it turned out. The stock market crashed in 1929. America had thought it was in great times during the Roaring '20s. But then everything came crashing down and minds and hearts were depressed, as the country entered into the next decade and an economic tragedy known as the Great Depression.
