History

Answer:

Explanation:

The Elkins Act (1903) is a federal law of The United States that amended the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887. The Act <em>targeted rebates offered to certain companies for shipping their products while farmers and small businesses paid full price for shipping their goods</em>. The Elkins Act made unlawful railroad rebates or discounts. This needed everyone to pay the same rate to use the rail lines to reduce transportation cost inequalities and unbalanced care. <em>The high prices put smaller companies and farmers out of business while larger firms delivered cheaper.</em>

True to some extent
 the act killed the act of giving rebates to specific companies and those who received or gave rebates were subject to heavy fines which implied that this act was curtailed meaning that competition was encouraged.

Describe the purpose of the sistema de castas, why it failed, and its impact on how race is viewed in the Hispanic world.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The fluid nature of the Castas did allow for a few persons of African descent to attain a socioeconomically elevated status more frequently on the Colonial Spanish frontier than in the United States at the end of the 18th century.  Mulatto Pedro Huizar, for example, was able to become a Don (Spanish nobleman) at Mission San Jose and thus change his status to espanol in 1793. Huizar was born and raised at Aguascalientes, Mexico, acquiring many skills in the arts and building trades. Around 1778, he journeyed north, first to San Antonio de Bexar, and finally, el Pueblo de San Jose, where he worked as a sculptor, mission carpenter, and surveyor.  As Huizar’s changed racial status shows, racial lines became so blurred through biological and occupational miscegenation that they became useless to Spanish census takers and other Iberian officials by 1800.

The Castas was officially dismantled by the 1830s, following the wars of independence raging throughout Latin America in the 1810s-1820s.
