C. France was far stronger than Spain at the beginning of the 19th century

Spain sold New Orleans to France because they needed money. Now that France owned New Orleans, they posed more of a threat to the United States because they were a strong world power at the time because French dictator Napoleon Bonaparte was taking over most of Europe so Jefferson was worried that Napoleon might try to take over the United States.

We’re African Americans really free in North
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Although their lives were circumscribed by numerous discriminatory laws even in the colonial period, freed African Americans, especially in the North, were active participants in American society. Black men enlisted as soldiers and fought in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Some owned land, homes, businesses, and paid taxes. In some Northern cities, for brief periods of time, black property owners voted. A very small number of free blacks owned slaves. The slaves that most free blacks purchased were relatives whom they later manumitted. A few free blacks also owned slave-holding plantations in Louisiana, Virginia, and South Carolina.

Free African American Christians founded their own churches which became the hub of the economic, social, and intellectual lives of blacks in many areas of the fledgling nation. Blacks were also outspoken in print. Freedom's Journal, the first black-owned newspaper, appeared in 1827. This paper and other early writings by blacks fueled the attack against slavery and racist conceptions about the intellectual inferiority of African Americans.

African Americans also engaged in achieving freedom for others, which was a complex and dangerous undertaking. Enslaved blacks and their white sympathizers planned secret flight strategies and escape routes for runaways to make their way to freedom. Although it was neither subterranean nor a mechanized means of travel, this network of routes and hiding places was known as the “underground railroad.” Some free blacks were active “conductors” on the underground railroad while others simply harbored runaways in their homes. Free people of color like Richard Allen, Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, David Walker, and Prince Hall earned national reputations for themselves by writing, speaking, organizing, and agitating on behalf of their enslaved compatriots.

By the 1920's, post  World War I occurrence open opportunities for young American women. For instance, <em>The Flapper </em>was a new fashion with some natural elegance. Women wore hats, waistless dresses a little bit above the knees, silk stockings and sleek fashion shoes.

Regarding labor, many work opportunities were created due to the industrial economy in factories, offices and new professions.

The 60's really catapulted feminism and a new set of values for women. The Federal Drug Administration approved the firts <em>"Pill"</em> for birth control(1960), President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order called<em> "Commission on Status of Women</em>"(1961), and the "<em>Equal Pay Act</em>"(1963).

In 1970, <em>Title IX of Education Amendments</em> prohibits discrimination in schools. In 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman seated on the Supreme Court. In 1993, the Supreme Court rules that sexual harassment in the workplace was illegal.

And finally, in 2005, Condoleezza Rice was the first black woman Secretary of State, and in 2017, Hillary Rodham Clinton ran for the Presidency of the U.S.
