Which were actions the Daughters of Liberty took in response to British laws? Select the two correct
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The correct answers are

A) Boycotting British goods

E) Holding Spinning bees

Explanation:

The Daughters of Liberty were the female equivalent of The Sons of Liberty. Both were formal associations that were build to protest the British Stamp law and the Townshend Act on the American colonies.

The overall goal was to boycott British goods and as most women were responsible for buying groceries and other goods for their houses, they were symbols of defiance.

The Association also held regular 'spinning bees' where women would spin cloth to provide for local people. This was done in order to reduce dependence on imported textile products from Great Britain.

What were the major failings of the Dawes Act? (Site 1)
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Historian Eric Foner believed "the policy proved to be a disaster, leading to the loss of much tribal land and the erosion of Indian cultural traditions." The law often placed Indians on desert land unsuitable for agriculture, and it also failed to account for Indians who could not afford the cost of farming. In addition to scant payment, Native Americans were not used to spending money and quickly spent most of what they received. Many were left with little land and little money. Inheritance also became an issue for many Native Americans who enrolled to receive land from the Dawes Act. The assimilation policy of the Dawes Act failed because it didn't take into account the social and cultural differences between the Native Americans and the white settlers. Many others like the Kiowas didn't want to assimilate into white culture and as such resisted.

What was the economic policy of the colonial governments?
TEA [102]

Economic policy in those days was based on free access by all nations to raw materials, free markets and non-discrimination, all without regard for the interests of the indigenous people. There was little regulation or control of economic development.
