“I told my dad I wasn’t going to school anymore. He said: Why, you just come on and go work with me. I went in the mines, and I

went to work. From ’31 to about the last of ’32…We lived eight miles from the mine, and we had to ride it horseback…Many times I’d have to git off and hammer his feet out of the stirrups. They’d be froze in the stirrups…We got up at five in the mornin’, start at six. We got out at ten that night. We’d work about six hours a day, seventeen hours.” –Buddy Blankenship, West Virginia miner Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression 1.

Answer: I think the main idea is to show what struggles families faced during the Great Depression. Also, to especially show the struggled children had to face working for their families.

Explanation: Buddy Blankenship starts the paragraph by saying "I told my dad I wasn't going to school anymore". This shows that the author was a child when he started working in the mines with his father. He goes into detail on the struggle he faced, ie, "We got up at 5 in the mornin'" and "We'd work about six hours a day, seventeen hours". This kind of work is grueling and awful for a child.

How did the British House of Commons influence America?
zvonat [6]

This was a big deal because it introduced the concepts of limited government, rule of law, and due process. It also helped create the nation's Parliament (kind of like Congress in the U.S.). The Magna Carta was a government document that limited the power of the king of England and protected the rights of the nobility.

If you were an American worker in the 1800s, what would you do to improve your situation? Check any boxes that you agree with.
Nimfa-mama [501]

All of the above are correct. I'll explain:

Work became more dangerous in the 1800's. This was a result of the increase in industrialization, it caused machines to be more powerful, and easier to cause harm. Also, workers in the late 1800´s had a very low standard of living, consequence of their low wages.  So this caused 4 things:

  • Low skilled jobs often didn't result in better wages or better and safer working conditions, so they attempted to try to get into a skilled trade.
  • They often demanded higher wages because jobs often came with very low wages for workers.
  • Workers began to join forces to gain enough power to impose better wages and working conditions. They joined forces with other employees creating 'working unions'.
  • Sometimes they just tried to find a better job when none of the other options were available, or didn't work at all.

I hope this helps understand why all of the options are correct. Working in the 1800's was a risky business!

Have a great week!
