The US government had imposed tariff policies that set a higher price on imported (foreign) manufactured goods. Because the South was an agricultural economy, it either had to ship down form the North or import from other countries most of the finished goods it consumed. Either option increased the cost of goods for Southerners over the prices paid by Northerners. Because the North was a largely industrial economy, and because raw materials imported for manufacturing were not subject to tariffs, the North faced no such burden. Additionally, because there was no income tax at this time, federal gov't revenue depended largely on tariff revenue -- which meant it was paid disproportionately by the South. This revenue was spent on railroads in the North and in other ways that unfairly benefitted the North while largely ignoring infrastructure and development in the South. South Carolina threatened secession as far back as 1828 over the unfair burden of the protective tariffs.
Answer:
A) They are named for the places where geologists first described rocks or fossils from that time
Explanation:
The relationship between plant and animals, layers and types of rocks, fossils and radioactive dating are used for preparing Geologic Time Scale. Geologic time is comprise of four Eons namely Hadean (the initial stage) followed by Archean and Proterozoic and Phanerozoic in the recent . The Eons are classified into eras and theses eras reflect the changes in fossil record. Eras are further divided into periods and some periods into Epochs.
In periods a single rock system is found while the division in the era's reflect major changes in fossil record.
Answer: African-Americans have fought for the United States throughout its history, defending and serving a country that in turn denied them their basic rights as citizens. Despite policies of racial segregation and discrimination, African-American soldiers played a significant role from the colonial period to the Korean War.
