Answer:
B. continued to suffer
Explanation:
During Reconstruction, the Southern economy struggled to get back on its feet. The farmlands which were the major source of living for the former African American slaves had just been destroyed, and in some cases completely burned down to the roots. The former slaves hoped to be given some of the lands where they worked without pay, but instead of that, their white masters sought for ways to still make them work for little pay and restrict their freedom.
The lands were not redistributed. So, this situation made the African Americans in the south struggle in order to rebuild their economy. Sharecropping and Tenant farming evolved during Reconstruction, and Textile mills became dominant in the region.
Answer:
Dissociative fugue
Explanation:
Based on the scenario that is being described, it seems that the man is most likely suffering from Dissociative fugue. This is a psychological state that was formerly known as a psychogenic fugue. This state is characterized as when an individual loses awareness of their identity or any/all other important autobiographical information, while also engaging in some form of unexpected travel. Which would explain why the man in this scenario does not know who he is and has traveled far from where he actually lives.
The items which are most durable as a form of currency (and are also the most portable) would most likely be olive oil. Olive oil has a long shelf time and doesn't require nor take up much space. It is very precious in lower quantities and is therefore a good currency.
In the early 1800s, stores weren't authorized to issue currency themselves.
Answer:
There were an estimated 18 million Native Americans living north of Mexico at the beginning of the European invasion. Prior to the arrival of the Europeans, American Indians were remarkably free of serious diseases. People did not often die from diseases. As the European explorers and colonists began to arrive, this changed and the consequences were disastrous for Native American people. The death tolls from the newly introduced European diseases often reached 80-90 percent. Entire groups of people vanished before the tidal wave of disease.
Explanation:
The diseases brought to this continent by the Europeans included bubonic plague, chicken pox, pneumonic plague, cholera, diphtheria, influenza, measles, scarlet fever, smallpox, typhus, tuberculosis, and whooping cough. The diseases introduced in the Americas by the Europeans were crowd diseases: that is, individuals who have once contracted the disease and survived become immune to the disease. In a small population, the disease will become extinct. Measles, for instance, requires a population of about 300,000 to survive. If the population size drops below this threshold, the virus can cause illness and death, but after one epidemic, the virus itself dies out.
Another important factor in the European diseases was the presence of domesticated animals. The source of many of the infections was the domesticated animals which lived in close proximity with the humans.
Overall, hundreds of thousands of Indians died of European diseases during the first two centuries following contact. In terms of death tolls, smallpox killed the greatest number of Indians, followed by measles, influenza, and bubonic plague.
