History

yulyashka [42]2 years ago

Answer:

The germans and the scots-irish were usually very poor, some of them arrived as indentured servants and only gained their liberty after a few years of unpaid work. They found it hard to establish themselves in the cities and in the coastal areas, where the land was either occupied or more expensive.

In the case of the scots-irish, the vast majority settled in the south and the best land was occupied by rich plantation owners. These new immigrants did not have the economic means to start their own plantations and buy slaves.

They decied to settled in the "backcountry", a region that corresponds roughly with the Appalachian mountains. The land there was cheap, but the risks were higher.

What year did standing for the USA National Anthem begin?
NeTakaya
There are historical data that tell us that the habit of standing during the national anthem happened during a ceremony at West Point in the year 1891. However, in 2009 there are data that at an NFL sports ceremony , it was established that the players had to remain standing as the American anthem sang. In 1918, as an extra data, it began to popularize playing the anthem in baseball games, to encourage people to attend the game even in times of World War I, and later also played in American football.
