History

The Underground Railroad wasn't a real railroad, but a network of courageous people who helped slaves secretly travel from the South to the North. In 1850, President Fillmore signed the Fugitive Slave Act, which made it illegal to help a slave run away and required officials to return escaped slaves to their owners.

The answer to the question about the Underground Railroad is explained below.

Explanation:

Underground Railroad was established in the early to mid 19th century. Underground Railroad was basically a network of secret routes. These routes were used by the African American enslaved people. The enslaved African American used these secret paths, called Underground Railroad, to escape to the free states and Canada.

The name, Underground Railroad, is just a symbolic representation, otherwise there was no such underground routes or even railroads. The who network was working secretly, so it was named as underground, and because people were escaping through certain paths, it was called as railroads.

There were hiding places for the people as well, like private homes, churches, schools, which were called as Stations, and the people who helped the slaves were called Conductors.

Which of these costs seem justified? Which costs seem unjustified? France debt
dimulka [17.4K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached or further references or context, we can say the following.

Regarding the French debt, the costs that seemed justified were the French intervention in the Seven Years War, because France had a great rivalry against England, and France had to send troops to the North American territory and other parts of the European continent.

Another justified cost was the support the government of France offered the Continental Army when it was fighting against the British troops during the Revolutionary War of Independence. At that time, the United Kingdom was the natural enemy of France.

Now, the costs that seemed unjustified were the following. First the construction of luxurious buildings such as the Versailles Palace, in the outskirts of Paris. This was an excessive massive luxurious building in a time where most of the French people were very poor.

The other unjustified cost was the extravagant parties and luxurious lifestyle of the King of France Louis XIV and his wife Maria Antonieta. Fancy parties, fancy clothes, and fancy food, when the Third State in France was dying of hunger.

We then can say that a class conflict started the revolution.

The French Revolution began in 1789. The Storming of the Bastille started the hostilities in Paris, France. French people were tired of the tyranny of the monarch. The class system had produced social inequality and the tax burden on the thirds state (the commoners, the poor people) angered the French.
