This is a very interesting and personal subject. It is kind of subjective, but I will provide a few reasons.

Reasons:

His appearance ( he was black and big, exactly 350 pounds and 6ft 3, of course the cop probably assume a he was a thug)

The cigarettes: ( a black guy selling cigarettes could be selling drugs or anything else. The police probably overestimated what the guy could be doing since they really didn't know. )

The report: anyone could have reported Garners presence infront of a beauty supply store because they were suspicious or found him a threat. Police often act off or reports instead of having the patience to watch observe and investigate. They probably already had stereotyped him as a person that was dangerous.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

b. religious persecution of the Protestant peasants

c. heavy taxation and seizure of property by the warring factions

Explanation:

The Scotch-Irish Americans were American descendants of the Protestants who migrated to America during the 18th and 19th centuries. These immigrants came to America through Philadelphia and Delaware. Then, they then moved inland and simply claimed the vacant land they saw. However, their movement was a result of many factors. Of these factors, two factors are prominent:

The high rents and religious persecution are often cited as the push and pull factors. Some of the people had their properties heavily taxed. Others, were persecuted by the church at that time.
