History

nadya68 [22]3 years ago

After the Civil War, the US Constitution became a means to ensure that African-Americans had rights in American society. This was due to the passage of the following three amendments:

1) 13th amendment- This outlawed slavery or forced labor all over the US.

2) 14th amendment- This amendment states that any person born on US soil or naturalized has all of the rights/freedoms guaranteed in the US Constitution.

3) 15th amendment- This amendment states that a person cannot be stopped from voting based on race, color, or past servitude. Essentially, this makes it so that a government can't stop a person from voting based on the fact that they were a slave before this time period.

A sales tax is a type of
gavmur [86]

Answer:

A sales tax is a type of indirect tax.

Explanation:

A sales tax is an indirect tax on point-of-purchase consumption for certain goods and services. This type of tax is usually calculated as a percentage of the final price to the consumer and is added to the price (tax-exclusive) or is already included (tax-inclusive).

The sales tax is the responsibility of the final consumer only; any intermediate buyer must produce a resale certificate to clear it and sales taxes are levied on any buyer who can not produce such a document.

The sales tax is set by each state and ranges from 0% (Oregon, Alaska, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Delaware) to 8.75% (California). In some cases, cities or counties also set a sales tax, which is added to the state tax (the maximum rate is applied in some counties in commercial zones of Illinois with 11.5% in total). The national average is about 6%.

Nadusha1986 [10]

The North was generally "Free-Soil." This meant that they supported the idea of wage-labor versus slavery; also they opposed the spread of slavery into Western territories, The North was very industrial.

The South's economy was based on slavery. Southern men believed that it was essential to their liberty to maintain slaves. The South had very little industry and was almost entirely an agrarian region.

The Western Territories were fought over between the North and the South for influence (whether or not they could bring slaves with them as settlers. Look into Missouri Compromise," Nullification Crisis (when South Carolina attempted to secede from the Union)," "Compromise of 1850."
