Answer:

Because our peers are more likely to be fair to us. When the government makes this decision, it is an overreach and a threat to our freedom as a society.

How would the result of World War II have been different if the South would have won the Civil War, dividing America into two di
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The Nazis win and a weak Nazi regime would be established.

Explanation:

The Southern Embargo on cotton led Britain and France to become less reliant on American cotton. Colonies like India and Egypt decreased Britain and France's reliance on American cotton, which was a staple of the Southern economy. The South emerged economically devastated, and had a long recovery. But if they did not return to the Union, and they could not rely on Northern industry, this recovery would be even slower. And with the division, both parts of the union would be significantly weaker. For this reason, America would have played a less significant role in WWII. The result is speculative of course, but it's possible that if America decided not to enter, or could not produce a strong army, then the Nazis would have had a much easier time with their goal. I think that the only scenario where the Nazis would have won is an instance where they developed nuclear bombs first--and used a scorched Earth strategy to eliminate the Russian threat. This would be my speculation, but past victory, it's hard to say what would have happened. The Roman Government lasted for thousands of years, and perhaps the Nazi regime could last for a while before becoming de-stabilized, but I don't think it would have been a strong centralized regime. The reason I say this is because not even Caesar or Napoleon (brilliant diplomats and military strategists) could not achieve this. But this (of course) is speculative.

(Fun question, never done "hypothetical history")

xenn [34]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The 1790 census of the United States showed a population of nearly (4 million). Most Americans lived within a few hundred miles of (Atlantic coast). By 1820 the population of the U.S. had increased to about (10 million) people. The 363-mile trip from (New York City) to Buffalo took a pioneer family about three weeks by wagon. Private companies built (Turnpikes) which charged fees to offset their costs.

In 1806 Congress approved funds for a (National road) to the West. Although river travel was more comfortable, rivers allowed travel only on a (North-South) direction. In 1802 Robert Livingstone hired (Robert Fulton) to develop a more powerful steamboat. In 1807, the (Clermont) made the 150-mile trip from New York City to Albany in only 32 hours. Canals Led by (De Witt Clinton), New York officials planned to link New York City with the Great Lakes region. Thousands of laborers worked on the construction of the 363-mile (Erie Canal).

At first, this waterway did not allow the passage of (Steamboats). Instead, teams of (Mules or Horses) hauled the boats and barges.

Which is not a major factor leading to genocide?
dalvyx [7]
I believe the correct answer would be A. It is unequal distribution of resources that is not a major factor that would lead to genocide. Genocide is the intentional killing of a group of people. It would be a result due to instability in terms of political and social factors.
