A paragraph that explains the central idea of the Fugitive Slave Act

History

vfiekz [6]3 years ago

According to the US Census the number of slaves reported as fugitives in free states in 1850 was 1,011. That number represented 1 in 3,165 slaves. The annual loss to slaveholders had increased over the years which was exacerbated by the north’s reluctance to return runaways. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 replaced the weakened fugitive Slave Act of 1793 which faced increased resistance from northern states. The new act added provisions for harsher punishment and fines for those who interfered in the capture of a runaway slave as well as gave incentives to those who captured escapees.

With which statements would Roosevelt most likely agree?
Ber [7]

<u>The correct answers are the following: </u>

  • Most relief efforts should be at the state and local government levels.
  • A strong executive is needed to lead the country.
  • The banking industry should be more strictly regulated.

During Roosevelt's presidency, the New Deal was implemented in the 1930s decade to combat the harsh situation of the US economy during the years of the Great Depression.

The New Deal was based on Keynesian economics that identified, as the major cause of the Great Depression, the extremely low aggregate demand figures. The solution proposed was to boost demand figures by directing large sums of public money to the creation of job positions for the large unemployed sectors, so that they could start to earn a salary and to demand products again.

Therefore, the Keynesian solution involved goverment interventionism in the economy at all levels. Also more regulations were demanded for the economy, in order to prevent a similar crisis the future, triggered by the private sector (more specifically, by the banking sector) and which had ended up damaging the whole economy.

Generally speaking, this recession was far more devastating than other relatively recent economic downturns in that it lasted longer than expected and many more homes and jobs were lost than expected. Thus the term "Great Recession".
