History

Answer:

Adult men

Explanation:

Most of the slaves taken to the New World were adult men since they were viewed as more capable to perform the required labor. On top of that, a considerable number of adult male slaves died due to the rough conditions or during slave raids, which led to a greater need to capture adult men. This scenario caused a major imbalance in the male to female ratio in West Africa.

A source of government revenue that pays for bridges, highways, police, and fire depts?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

In peacetime during America's early decades, most of the federal government's revenue came from import taxes called tariffs. The U.S. Congress passed the Tariff Act of 1789 to help generate revenue to pay off its war debts and to encourage and protect manufacturers in the northern states.

Explanation:

The three main sources of federal tax revenue are individual income taxes, payroll taxes, and corporate income taxes. Other sources of tax revenue include excise taxes, the estate tax, and other taxes and fees.

The chief way the government gets the money it spends is through taxation. Figure 1 shows the relative sizes of sources of federal government tax revenues. Forty-five percent of federal tax revenue comes from individuals' personal income taxes. Another 39 percent comes from Social Security and Medicare withholdings.
