Background information: This passage comes from a report in which British diplomat Robert Casement discusses his conversations w

ith refugees who fled the Congo. I visited two large villages in the interior . . . wherein I found that fully half the population now consisted of refugees . . . I saw and questioned several groups of these people . . . They went on to declare, when asked why they had fled (their district), that they had endured such ill-treatment at the hands of the government soldiers in their own (district) that life had become intolerable; that nothing had remained for them at home but to be killed for failure to bring in a certain amount of rubber or to die from starvation or exposure in their attempts to satisfy the demands made upon them . . . I subsequently found others who confirmed the truth of the statements made to me. —Robert Casement, 1904 According to this quote, why did people flee the Congo? They fled to help the government gain better control of the population. They fled to escape persecution from government soldiers. They fled to learn more about European government and culture. They fled to find a better supply of food.did people flee the Congo? They fled to help the government gain better control of the population. They fled to escape persecution from government soldiers.

In what ways were socialism and communism a response to the social and economic conditions that developed in Europe during he in
Elza [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Socialism and Communism were a response to the social and economic conditions that developed in Europe during the Industrial Revolution because the Industrial Revolution started a notorious economic inequity or disparity in the society. The wealthy owners of the industries became richer, meanwhile, the poor workers became poorer.

Two of the conditions that concerned socialist and communist thinkers were the low salaries that workers earned in the factories and the unhealthy conditions in which they worked. Workers labored for long hours daily under unhealthy conditions that created many risks, and of course, they did not have medical attention or insurance. The places had no ventilation at all and workers had to operate machines that created risks for the untrained workers.

29. how did the us tariff policies contribute to the civil war?
olga_2 [115]
The US government had imposed tariff policies that set a higher price on imported (foreign) manufactured goods. Because the South was an agricultural economy, it either had to ship down form the North or import from other countries most of the finished goods it consumed. Either option increased the cost of goods for Southerners over the prices paid by Northerners. Because the North was a largely industrial economy, and because raw materials imported for manufacturing were not subject to tariffs, the North faced no such burden. Additionally, because there was no income tax at this time, federal gov't revenue depended largely on tariff revenue -- which meant it was paid disproportionately by the South. This revenue was spent on railroads in the North and in other ways that unfairly benefitted the North while largely ignoring infrastructure and development in the South. South Carolina threatened secession as far back as 1828 over the unfair burden of the protective tariffs.
