History

Answer: Religious Reasons

Explanation: The belief of the number 13 was cursed or bad luck. In the Middle Ages, there were 13 people in attendance at the "Last Supper" therefore it was believed that 13 people at the gathering was a bad omen. The reasoning for that is because, Judas was the first to get up from the table at the Last Supper and he was the one to kill Jesus,  it stood to reason that the first person to get up from a table of 13 would mean that person would have bad luck.

What was the gold standard? Which groups of Americans supported it, and which groups opposed it?
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>The gold standard is a monetary system where a country's currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold.</span><span><span>The farmers opposed the gold standard because in order to live on their farms, they needed to take out a mortgage on them because they couldn't pay the entire fee by themselves. Thus, farmers were in debt, and a gold AND silver standard would help them by increasing the amount of currency in circulation. Inflation would help debtors because more currency would be produced, therefore the value of each currency would decrease and the value of their debts would similarly decrease, making it easier to pay off. The amount of debt would stay the same, but they would be getting higher wages because of inflation. The wealthy and eastern industrial workers supported a gold standard because inflation would not help them. The wealthy had savings accounts and such, and inflation would lessen the value of their savings. Similarly, the industrial workers might also have a small savings account, but would not have a mortgage on a farm like the westerners (they would live in tenement buildings), so inflation would not have a positive effect on them either. </span> </span>

Why did the Spanish begin importing slaves from Africa to work in the
melomori [17]

African slaves were imported to work in America because  Africans were immune to some European diseases and experienced at European farming techniques.

B. Africans were immune to some European diseases and experienced at European farming techniques.

<u>Explanation:</u>

During 16th century, Spanish started to import many Africans as slaves to work in the European farm. Americans were prone to European diseases and they also demanded large pay for the work. Thus, the government decided to import slaves from Africa.

Africans were immune to European diseases and they had better experience in European farming techniques. The pay demanded by the African slaves was also less compared to indigenous laborers. So Africans were imported as slaves to work in Americans farm.
