Write a paragraph that explains why Kansas looked like the promised land of African Americans

History
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]3 years ago
7 0
With the promise of freedom and new economic and educational opportunities, Kansas attracted many African Americans in its territorial days, through statehood, and into the 20th century. Slavery existed in the Kansas Territory, but slave holdings were small compared to the South. Many black migrants also came to the territory as hired laborers, while some traveled as escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad. In the 1860s, others joined the Union Army, and some moved from the South in large groups during the Kansas Exodus, a mass migration of freedpeople during the 1870s and 1880s. As a territory that had a long and violent history of pre-Civil War contests over slavery, Kansas emerged as the “quintessential free state” and seemed like a promised land for African Americans who searched for what they called a “New Canaan.”

Bess [88]

Answer:

For whom should producers make goods?

Explanation:

One of the fundamental questions economists ask about the U.S. Economy is, "For whom should producers make goods?"

This is evident in the fact that the United States economy, just like many of the capitalist economies around the world, is concerned majorly about four primary economic questions, which are:

1. what goods and services and how much of each to produce?

2. how to produce?

3. for whom to produce?

4. who owns and controls the factors of production?

hoa [83]

Answer:

A. They lost support in the 1998 election.

Explanation:

The impeachment process of Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, was initiated on December 19, 1998 by the House of Representatives and brought to trial in the Senate with two counts, one of perjury and one of obstruction of justice. . These allegations arose from the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones. Clinton was subsequently acquitted of these charges by the Senate on February 12, 1999.

The trial in the United States Senate began after the inauguration of the 106th Congress, in which the Republican Party had 55 senators. A two-thirds vote (67 senators) was required to remove Clinton from his post. Fifty senators voted to remove Clinton on the charge of obstruction of justice and 45 voted to remove him on the charge of perjury; No member of his party, the Democrat voted against the President in any of the charges. Finally Clinton was acquitted of all charges.
