The headright system

The headright system caused an increasing difference between wealthy landowners and worker in Jamestown. The headright system was originally created in 1618 in Jamestown, Virginia. It was applied as a way to attract new settlers to the region and address the labor shortage, with the rise of tobacco farming, a large supply of workers was wanted, and as more people came into the region, it later increased tensions between Native Americans and colonists, enslaved servants were granted lands, which was near the natives, this migration produced conflict between the natives and the enslaved servants.

The headright system also resulted in the wealthy becoming wealthier with no benefit to the laborers.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

C. People of different races could be restricted to separate areas in public places.

Explanation:

The 1857 Supreme Court case of Plessy vs. Ferguson held that separate but equal facilities are constitutional. This means that racial segregation is legally constitutional as long as it has equal facilities for both races.

This case was a result of an incident when Homer Adolph Plessy, a mixed-race man was traveling in a train bound for Louisiana. He sat at the whites-only section of the train for which he was asked to move to the blacks section which he refused. Convicted of breaking the law, Plessy filed a petition against Hon. John H. Ferguson, the judge who presided over the case. The court ruled in favor of the state with the conclusion that since the train had equal facilities for both races and convicted Plessy.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

The chart shows automobile ownership in the United

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Smallest increase in car occurred in:

1930 - 1940

Explanation:

(The question is incomplete because the chart is not given. I have attached the full question at the bottom, for a better understanding of the question)

Lets calculate the increase from looking at the chart for different options.

In 1900, the number of owners are 0 millions

in 1920, then number of owners are slightly less than 10, consider it to be 8 million.

Increase in ownership = 8 millions - 0 millions

Increase in ownership = 8 millions (approx)

In 1920, the number of owners are 8 millions

in 1930, then number of owners are slightly more than 20, consider it to be 23 million.

Increase in ownership = 23 millions - 8 millions

Increase in ownership = 15 millions (approx)

In 1930, the number of owners are 23 millions

in 1940, then number of owners are slightly less than 30, consider it to be 27 million.

Increase in ownership = 27 millions - 23 millions

Increase in ownership = 4 millions (approx)

In 1940, the number of owners are 27 millions

in 1950, then number of owners are 40 millions

Increase in ownership = 40 millions - 27 millions

Increase in ownership = 13 millions (approx)
