<span>A leaf hangs from a branch 12 feet in the air. It falls to the ground at a rate of 0.25 feet per second. Which graph could represent the leaf’s height in feet as a function of time, in seconds, after leaving the branch?</span>
They realized that nothing really changed much. The freed African-Americans still had almost no political rights and the system was controlled mostly by corrupt politicians who came from the north to become rich. The regular people still had huge farms and turned the former slave system into a system of sharecropping which was in many ways similar to slavery. The freedom was very superficial and in reality people still lived as bad as before the war.
Starting with the election of President Andrew
Jackson (1828), voter participation increased due
to the end of property requirements for voting by
many states. We technically used to have. It not any longer. God bless America! ;)
