History

Wedding rings have been exchanged in marriage ceremonies since the Ancient Egyptians.  The Egyptians believed that the circle was the symbol of eternity.  The Romans continued the tradition and believed that the ring symbolized fidelity and was associated with the dowry.  An alternative in the United States that is becoming popular is having a tattoo on your left ring finger.  This is not a widespread custom around the world.

What was the purpose of the American System?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>B</u>: to strengthen the economy of each region while ensuring that the federal government would remain strong.

Explanation:

The American System was an economic plan based on the financial ideas of Alexander Hamilton, supported by Henry Clay.

The plan had three mutually reinforced parts, based on a new national bank, taxing foreign goods and creating a subsidized infrastructure of new roads and canals. Therefore, this system tried to strengthen the American economy by protecting manufacturing with a protective tariff, the Second Bank of the United States provided a strong currency and by giving a bigger role to the federal government (e.g. with federally funded internal improvements as roads and canals).
