Answer:

After the civil war, a new economy emerged in the USA, which involved the change in techniques and productivity. The business organizations expanded in size and scale. There was a huge increase in production and mechanization. Major sectors which contributed to the economy of the country, which included banking, manufacturing, steel and much more, were all under control of big organizations. This new form of business brought in more money, which eventually helped to change the social classes of many people. A new class of millionaires emerged.

The Treaty of Versellias was signed in 1919. The treat required Germany to pay almost 33 billion US dollars for reparations and covering the civilian damage done in the war. Germany was considered to be the cause of World War 1 and so had to pay a heavy debt or fine for the same.

In 1804, enslaved Africans and other laborers on Saint Domingue won independence from France. How do you think Jefferson felt ab
jasenka [17]

I would say that President Thomas Jefferson would have desired the revolution to fail. On the one had, Saint Domingue independence from France was good news, for it debilitated the French. But on the other hand, the triumph of a slave revolution in the West Indies would set a dangerous precedent and could influence further slave revolts in the USA.

Jefferson - who was a slave owner himself - refused to recognize the negro government, rejecting diplomatic relations and even imposed an economic embargo on Saint Domingue in order to make the negro nation fail. Also, he had to face southern slave-holders reaction against the Saint Domingue in fear of similar outbreaks. Previous incidents like the Gabriel slave conspiracy in 1802 fueled this fear.
