Cynicism, low self-worth, uncertainty, powerlessness correlate with conspiracy belief.

Explanation:

The best predictor of belief in a conspiracy theory is belief in other conspiracy theories,” says  a psychology professor who studies conspiracy belief at the University of Westminster in England. Psychologists say that’s because a conspiracy theory isn’t so much a response to a single event.

Anxiety makes people to accept the conspiracy. many conspiracies are scary and attract attention. An important trait among conspiracy theorists is paranoia. They believe the threats they face are personally invasive than is reasonable.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

On the other hand, the black population grew during the 19th century, although not in relative terms, since in the total population the percentage of this population decreased due to its lower standard of living, which caused a higher mortality rate.

On the other hand, the large settlers were the maximum beneficiaries, since they obtained the benefits of the land.
