Answer: Grangers fought and pressed for laws to protect their interests

Explanation: The Granger Movement was begun in the late 1860s by farmers who called for government regulation of railroads and other industries whose prices and practices, they claimed, were monopolistic and unfair.

The main problems confronting the Granger Movement concerned corporate ownership of grain elevators (used for the storage of crops) and railroads. These corporations charged high prices for the distribution and marketing of agricultural goods, and the farmer had no choice but to pay.

The Grangers pressed for laws to protect their interests hoping to establish maximum freight and passenger rates as well as prohibit discrimination. In 1877, the Supreme Court upheld the Granger laws and states won the right to regulate the railroads for the benefit of farmers and consumers. The grangers thereby also helped establish an important principle of the federal government's right to regulate private industry to serve the public interest.

What would be one positive result of Italian unification?
asambeis [7]
If you're talking about the idea of Italian unification from a historical perspective (Seeing as your question is found under the History tab), we can say that having a unified Italy would have made it a stronger country that would perhaps be a more important regional and world player in terms of politics and economy, if it were not for its city-states where each of them had their own agendas and interests.

Evaluate the extent to which the new global circulation of silver impacted economies between the years of 1450-1750.
andriy [413]
No other era is as easy to summarize as the EARLY MODERN (1450-1750) era. This is the era the Europeans "wake-up", expand, and build empires. I'm not talking about Charlemagne here. I'm talking about the British Empire. I'm talking about the Dutch East India Trading Company. I'm talking about the Spanish Empire. This is a new Europe. This isn't Marco Polo. These Europeans will come to your land and stay there. They will take over most of the world in this era (if not, in the next). Beyond the Maritime empires (and the effect of their establishment), many huge land empires emerged (most notably the Islamic Mughal and Ottoman Empires. Of course, China is important... It always is. So, here is the Early Modern Period... The above map was created using the geographic references from this era in the AP World History curriculum. Every geographic reference for this unit appears on this map. The interconnection of the Eastern and Western hemispheres made possible by transoceanic voyaging marked a key transformation of this period. Technological innovations helped to make transoceanic connections possible. Changing patterns of long-distance trade included the global circulation of some commodities and the formation of new regional markets and financial centers. Increased trans-regional and global trade networks facilitated the spread of religion and other elements of culture as well as the migration of large numbers of people. Germs carried to the Americas ravaged the indigenous peoples, while the global exchange of crops and animals altered agriculture, diets, and populations around the planet.
I. Existing regional patterns of trade intensified in the context of the new global circulation of goods. A. The intensification of trade brought prosperity and economic disruption to the mercnahts and goverenments in the trading region of the Indian OCean, Mediterranean, the Sahara, and overland Eurasia.

II. European technological developments in cartography and navigation built on previous knowledge developed in the Classical, Islamic, and Asian worlds. A. The developments included the production of new tools, innovations in ship designs, and an improved understanding of global wind and current patterns--all of which made transoceanic travel and trade possible.
