Answer:

According to Betty's account, the working condition in the coal pit was harsh because as a drawer, she had to crawl under small mine shafts and dragged loads of coal from the pit. The working condition was not favorable because of slippery shafts, heat, and water that would collect in the mine during a rainstorm.

Women and children frequently were beaten for being slow. Betty speaks about the reality of a coal pit, where they have to suffer hardship to earn a living.

Answer and explanation;

-The conditions in the pit were harsh, and the work was very difficult. Betty worked 12 hour days eating very little food during the day. She had only break during the day. She often went home so tired she would fall asleep before washing up.

-The belt she wore was uncomfortable and she was often going uphill, or working in deep water. Also Betty says that it was common for male workers to beat the drawers, who were mostly women and children. Betty thought the work was very hard for a woman.

What was Mcduffie's racial argument for slavery
Lunna [17]
George McDuffie is a South Carolina governor on 1834 to 1836. On his 1835 speech regarding slavery and explained why slavery must not be ruled out in two points: (1) his racial argument is that African-Americans are born to be slaves because of their physical attributes which was evidently shown with their skins. He said that it is useless to gain power if you have an inferior skin; and (2) his religious argument is that God decided to make African-American slaves when he created them and that there is nothing they can do about it.

At the Constitutional convention, smaller states supported the New Jersey delegation's plan for government. Why did small states
Readme [11.4K]

The answer is D.

William Patterson’s “New Jersey Plan” supported giving each state and equal amount of votes. Instead of the plan we use today which states that each state has the same number of senators and different numbers of congressmen (House of Representatives) based on the population of each state.

The reason why smaller states approved of this plan is because if each state has an equal amount of representatives, then the smaller states will be equal to states that have larger population. This plan is similar to The Articles to the Confederation. Which we know was not successful. Fortunately, people did not support this plan because they believed that this plan would make the national government they wanted weak.
