Answer:

The answer is "sodbusters."

Explanation:

The answer is related to the history of the "Great Plains."

The Great Plains was located in the middle of the United States territory. The land in this area was very dry and flat that it was hard to farm. This was the reason why people didn't want to live in this place. This occurred in the 1800s. The area became idled and bad for the economy.

However, the government thought of a strategy to attract people into the area. They started selling small lands for a cheaper price. They also promised that anyone who could farm the land in five years, will have the chance to completely own it for themselves. Of course, this attracted many people. Some of the settlers came from Europe and the East.

When the settlers came, they started to farm but this gave them lots of hardship because the soil was stuck with the grass growing on it. This is the reason why the farmers who attempted to farm the Great Plains were called "sodbusters."

Production of crops was unsteady on the Great Plains because most of the time, the weather was hot and dry. It was very common to have drought.

Answer:

C. The Christian church

Explanation:

The black death is also referred to as black plague, great mortality, or pestilence. It was a bubonic plague pandemic that occured between 1346 and 1356 in Afro-Eurasia. Also, it lead to the death of between 75,000,000 - 200,000,000 people in North Africa, Europe and Eurasia, making the plague the most fatal pandemic to be recorded in human history.

Furthermore, a bacteria known as Yersinia pestis was responsible for this fatal, epidemic disease and it was transmitted from an infected person or rodent to humans when bitten by infected fleas. Some of the symptoms of the black death are fever, aching joints, chills, diarrhea, delirium, nausea and vomiting, formation of buboes, headache, etc.

According to the Roman Catholic (Christian) church, the plague was as a result of the sins of the people that is being punished by God. Thus, a great number of the terrified population turned to the church in order to be forgiven for their supposed sins, thus making the church become more powerful and wealthier.

In conclusion, due to people asking The Christian church questions about the cause of the black death, their authority was eventually ceased.

How has the new election campaign methods affected American democracy

crimeas [40]

In the 19th century, a number of new methods for conducting American election campaigns developed in the United States. For the most part the techniques were original, not copied from Europe or anywhere else.[2] The campaigns were also changed by a general enlargement of the voting franchise — the states began removing or reducing property and tax qualifications for suffrage and by the early 19th century the great majority of free adult white males could vote (Rhode Island refused until a serious rebellion took place in 1844). During the Reconstruction Era, Republicans in Congress used the military to create a biracial electorate, but when the troops were removed in 1877, blacks steadily lost political power in the increasingly one-party South. After 1890 blacks generally lost the vote in the South.
