The Gilded Age was an era of rapid economic growth, especially in the North and West. As American wages were much higher than those in Europe, especially for skilled workers, the period saw an influx of millions of European immigrants. The rapid expansion of industrialization led to real wage growth of 60% between 1860 and 1890, spread across the ever-increasing labour force. The average annual wage per industrial worker (including men, women and children) rose from $380 in 1880 to $564 in 1890, a gain of 48%. However, the Gilded Age was also an era of abject poverty and inequality as millions of immigrants—many from impoverished European nations—poured into the United States, and the high concentration of wealth became more visible and contentious

Answer:

The bus boycott demonstrated the potential for nonviolent mass protest to successfully challenge racial segregation and served as an example for other southern campaigns that followed.

The March on Washington was a massive protest march that occurred in August 1963, when some 250,000 people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Also known as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the event aimed to draw attention to continuing challenges and inequalities faced

The campaign used a variety of nonviolent methods of confrontation, including sit-ins at libraries and lunch counters, kneel-ins by black visitors at white churches, and a march to the county building to mark the beginning of a voter-registration drive. Most businesses responded by refusing to serve demonstrators.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

A) accepted many of the reforms but revolted against French control.

Explanation:

Napoleon wanted to spread the revolution throughout the world. He desired to put down princes and kings in Europe. He tried to subject Europe under his hegemony. The result was a succession of war. Once under his power, the controlled country passed by several political and social changes. Napoleon Code gave the freedom of private property, civil marriage, equality by law, and individual freedom. These reforms were well received by the controlled countries, the problem is that Napoleon put his relatives to rule, causing revolts because of the irresponsibility of these governors to be rulers, but for the most part, these revolts were resulted by the withdrawal from the already traditional monarchical governments in the controlled countries.
