Why were farmers who moved to the city trapped there? They owed their landlords too much money to leave. They were promised more

pay at the factories and assumed more money would come in. The farmers sold all they had to make the move and could not afford to go back. There was a great deal of appeal in the city and farmers didn't want to give up.

Farmers who moved to the city thought they would have a better life there. Most of the time, they had very little land, not enough to guarantee their survival. Two or three bad harvests ruined them. They had to ask for money to the landlord in order to keep working, but if they didn't have enough to pay them when the harvest came they would have to leave the land to pay their debt. With no place left to go, they moved to the city lured by promises of a better life that turned out to be false.

the principle of opportunity cost states that if you have more of one thing you must have less of another ..... true or false
sergey [27]
Hi there. The way this question is stated is going to need some input from you to infer what was meant by the language.

This answer would be True. Because opportunity cost means more of one and less of another in simple terms, since in an economy we cannot utilize all of our resources at one time.

But I would caution that the language is in the simplest of terms! Since a more thorough definition would be that opportunity cost is the amount lost by not taking the next-best alternative. If your teacher and lesson usually describe opportunity cost and other terms simply, then I would say to go for it and choose True.
But if your lesson seems to be strict on definitions, then maybe that isn't the best definition. I would say it is good enough though because although simple, it does encompass the whole idea.

I hope this helps!

In which year workers went on strike to protest 16-hour workdays and low wages at the Pullman Palace Car Company?
Hoochie [10]

Workers at the Pullman Palace Car Company, a railroad car builder close to Chicago, went on strike on May 11, 1894, in opposition to their meager pay and 16-hour workdays.

<h3>What led to the 1894 Pullman Strike?</h3>

The lack of democracy in Pullman's politics, the firm's strict paternalistic control over its employees, the high cost of gas and water, and the company's unwillingness to let its employees own homes were a few of the factors that led to the strike. The two of them had not yet united.

Debs believed that organizing a nationwide strike would be the only way to push the Pullman Company into arbitration because the government was acting in the General Managers' Association's favor. However, his efforts were unsuccessful. Midway through July, the boycott ended, and the ARU was defeated.
