The main reason why the money issued by the continental congress of little value was because it wasn't "backed" by anything real such as gold. Plus, this government had practically no credit.

The correct answer is:

The money did not have enough gold and silver to back it up.

During the American Revolution, the colonies and the Continental Congress issued paper money, known as Continental currency, to fund the war effort. This bills of credit were usually flat money, meaning they could not be exchanged for a fixed amount of gold or silver coins upon demand. When too many were issued, inflation resulted in the depreciation of that money.

Which event probably set the stage for the Harlem Renaissance?
Nata [24]

The First Great Migration event probably set the stage for the Harlem Renaissance.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

There was a time when Harlem- a neighbourhood in Manhattan was dominated by the upper class white community in the 1880's. The development of that area lead to a lot of empty buildings and people were desperate to fill them. During the 1900's, a bunch of middle class families moved into the neighbourhood, despite the opposition put by the white community. This was known as the great migration.

The emergence of new African-American creative communities was partly fuelled by mass migration, the largest American relocation in the history of the American continent, mainly from southern rural areas to the densely populated urban centres in the north. Looking for a job, better education and housing, as well as a withdrawal from Jim Crow’s law and a life restricted by institutionalized racism have led to black Americans being moved.
