History

aliina [53]3 years ago

Women could not vote or hold office in any state, they had no access to higher education, and they were excluded from professional occupations. American law accepted the principle that a wife had no legal identity apart from her husband. She could not be sued, nor could she bring a legal suit; she could not make a contract, nor could she own property. She was not permitted to control her own wages or gain custody of her children in case of separation or divorce. Although there were many improvements in the status of women during the first half of the century, women still lacked political and economic status when compared with men.<span>Additionally, women lost economic status as production shifted away from the household to the factory and workshop. During the late 18th century, the need for a cash income led women and older children to engage in a variety of household industries, such as weaving and spinning.</span>

nalin [4]

Answer:

For starters, the artifacts with the language show us where their language might have been used. And although the script has not yet been deciphered over the years of research and artifacts there are no changes to the actual script. Once the translation is found however, we will be able to understand the purposes and possibly even deeper history than already.

Hope it helps!

How did americans prepare for possible communist attacks?
Marina CMI [18]
During the Cold War, America was constantly fearful of communist attacks and the Soviet Union in general. Below is a list of some of the actions taken by American citizens/government during this era:

1) Created fallout shelters: These basements/secret hideaways were supposed to provide protection for citizens in case of a nuclear war. This shelter would be stockpiled with food and water in order to ensure survival.

2) Duck and Cover: This was a method taught to students in school on how to protect yourself from a nuclear attack. This involved ducking under a desk and covering the back of their neck. The Duck and Cover video was shown to millions of students all over the country.

Along with holding as much territory as possible &amp; hoping the North would grow tired of the war, what other idea gave the So
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Most of the fighting during the American Civil War took place on Southern soil. In part, this was the result of the war strategies of both sides. To win the war, the South had only to survive. On the other hand, for the North to win, the Union had to be restored. Thus, Union forces had to conquer the South in order to win the war. War action around their homes created many hardships for Southerners.

The hardships increased or intensified for other reasons as well. As an agricultural region, the South had more difficulty than the North in manufacturing needed goods--for both its soldiers and its civilians. One result was that Southern civilians probably had to make more real sacrifices during the war than Northern civilians did. In addition, part of Union war strategy was to use the Navy to blockade Southern ports. The Union hoped to stop the flow of goods between the South and other countries and strangle its foe economically.

To find additional sources in American Memory regarding the South during the Civil War, use words such as Yankee, Confederate, plantation, Civil War, and War Between the States, in your search.
