History

jasenka [17]3 years ago

Answer:

An indentured servant is an employee who, within a system of servitude, is bound by a contract (deed) to work for a particular employer for a fixed period of time. The employer often allows assigning the work of a contractor to a third party. People in this situation usually undertake, by deed, to a specific payment or other benefit, or to fulfill a legal obligation, such as debt bondage. In many countries, servant work systems have been banned.

Between half and two-thirds of the white immigrants who went to the American colonies between the 1630s and the American Revolution were under indenture. However, although nearly half of the European immigrants in the Thirteen Colonies were indentured servants, when they were outnumbered by workers who had never been slaves, or when their respective deeds expired, free wage labor became more prevalent for Europeans in the colonies.

guapka [62]

2)Officially made Missouri a state in the US. This would be a state that allows slavery.
3) Establishes the 36'30 line. This latitude/longitude line separated free and slave states/territories. Any state north of this line would NOT allow slavery. Any state south of this line would allow for slavery.

This compromise was in created in huge part due to Henry Clay and helped to temporarily solve the issue of slavery in new territories acquired by the US.

Read the passage from My Antonia. Those girls had grown up in the first bitter-hard times, and had got little schooling themselv
SOVA2 [1]

The correct answer is:

It is not necessarily better to have financial advantages.

"My Antonia" is a novel  by Willa Cather in 1918. The novel is about the story of the pioneers of Nebraska and their life in the Old West, making emphasis on the role of the women during that time. This excerpt mainly explains how despite their low resources, the girls learned from life, from poverty, from their mothers and grandmothers and makes a comparison of how they were even more interesting than  the younger brothers and sisters who had advantages were not better than them. Which supports the theme that is not necessarily better to have financial advantages.
