<span>"Voyageur", the French word for traveler, refers to the contracted employees who worked as canoe paddlers, bundle carriers, and general laborers for fur trading firms from the 1690s until the 1850s. This is why voyageurs were also known as "engagés", a loose French expression translated as "employees". The voyageurs, who were under the direction of a clerk (commis), were distinguished from "freemen", in other words, people who trapped and traded furs on their own account without being bound by a contract. Though it is true that the majority of voyageurs were French-Canadian, there were those who were English, German, and Iroquois</span>

What law was passed by Congress to prevent financial panics?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In 1929, after an extended period of financial boom, prices on the U.S. stock market crashed, leading to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Savings disappeared overnight, and many banks ran out of cash on hand as consumers raced to the banks to retrieve their money. The resulting economic depression lasted until the beginning of World War II.

Which affect do some believe third-party candidate Ross Perot had on the 1992 election?
Simora [160]

Answer:

Third-party candidate Ross Perot affected the 1992 election by taking a great amount of votes from Bush, thus allowing Clinton to win the elections.

Explanation:

The 1992 presidential election was contested between the Republican nominee and president George H.W. Bush; the Democrat Bill Clinton, governor of Arkansas; and the independent candidate Ross Perot, a Texas businessman.

Bush had alienated much of his conservative base by breaking his 1988 campaign promise against tax collection, when the economy was in a recession.

The Democratic nominee, Bill Clinton, managed to establish himself as the leader of a party that had been defeated by a large margin in the three previous presidential elections. In fact, thanks to the division of the right-wing vot between Bush and Perot, Clinton managed to win the elections with a lower voting percentage than that achieved by the loser of the 1988 election, Michael Dukakis.
