C. The 1890s were in the midst of what is called the Gilded Age, which consisted of an immense wage gap (the second largest in US history, next to modern day). The top ten percent of the population held about 70% of the wealth.

Answer: here you go:

Explanation:

We come to Berlin, we American Presidents, because it's our duty to speak, in this place, of freedom. But I must confess, we're drawn here by other things as well: by the feeling of history in this city, more than 500 years older than our own nation; by the beauty of the Grunewald and the Tiergarten; most of all, by your courage and determination. Perhaps the composer, Paul Lincke, understood something about American Presidents. You see, like so many Presidents before me, I come here today because wherever I go, whatever I do: "Ich hab noch einen koffer in Berlin." [I still have a suitcase in Berlin.]

Our gathering today is being broadcast throughout Western Europe and North America. I understand that it is being seen and heard as well in the East. To those listening throughout Eastern Europe, I extend my warmest greetings and the good will of the American people. To those listening in East Berlin, a special word: Although I cannot be with you, I address my remarks to you just as surely as to those standing here before me. For I join you, as I join your fellow countrymen in the West, in this firm, this unalterable belief: Es gibt nur ein Berlin. [There is only one Berlin.]

...

And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control. Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.

There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

...

As I looked out a moment ago from the Reichstag, that embodiment of German unity, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner, "This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality." Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.

so i have to learn about Jamestown Jane can anyone let me know who she/he is it would mean so much to me. thank you
pogonyaev
Jane was an unidentified 14 year old girl found in 2012 by Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists working at a 1608 James Fort cellar. They believe that she was consumed during what is known as the “Starving Time” in the winter of 1609-1610. Marks on her skull and severed leg bone suggest that she was eaten by another person, also known as cannibalism. The Starving Time at Jamestown in the Colony of Virginia was a period where food was so scarce to the point that colonists ate everything that did not eat them. This included horses, cats, rats, and even shoe leather. Eventually, as winter raged on and the famine showed no signs of stopping, some colonists turned to cannibalism. Jane was the first physical evidence of cannibalism.
