Living in company towns made it difficult for workers to join unions in what way

1 answer:

3 0

In company towns, most services (housing, education, etc.) were provided by the employer for the workers. This meant that the workers depended on the company for the fulfillment of all their basic needs.

If the company disliked the idea of the workers joining a union, as they often did, then they had several means to pressure workers into compliance. They could raise rents or evict them from their homes, for example. This monopoly put workers in a tough situation, and discouraged them from joining unions.

Which TWO events increased support for secession among Georgia's leaders?

Anit [1.1K]

The correct answers are B) Abraham Lincoln, a Republican who opposed the expansion of slavery in the federal territories, was elected president in 1860. D) The Georgia Platform included acceptance of the Compromise of 1850 and a warning that Congress must not violate any of its terms.

Those were the two events that increased support for secession among Georgia's leaders.

Georgia played a key role as one of the southern states that were convinced that recently elected President, Abraham Lincoln meant more problems for southerners due to his ideas on slavery and support of abolition.

It was just a matter of time after the election of Abraham Lincoln to start secession. The first state to secede was South Carolina, and then, the other southern states followed it. The American Civil War was close.
