THE MAKING OF A NATION – a program in Special English on the Voice of America.
The 1920s are remembered today as a quiet period in American foreign policy. The nation was at peace. The Republican presidents in the White House generally were more interested in economic growth at home than in relations with foreign countries.
But the world had changed. The United States had become a world power. It was tied to other countries by trade, politics, and joint interests. And America had gained new economic strength.
Before World War One, foreigners invested more money in the United States than Americans invested in other countries -- about three thousand million dollars more. The war changed this. By 1919, Americans had almost three thousand million dollars more invested in other countries than foreign citizens had invested in the United States.
American foreign investments continued to increase greatly during the 1920s.
Increased foreign investment was not the only sign of growing American economic power. By the end of World War One, the United States produced more goods and services than any other nation, both in total and per person.
I wager you're talking about <em>Tragic Prelude</em>, the mural painted by John Steuart Curry.
To answer your question: Curry probably had Brown stand between the two sides to emphasize the increasing divide between the North and the South of the United States during this period, a divide that has only grown due to Brown's actions at Harpers Ferry.
Curry also probably represented Brown as such a large figure to highlight his importance in the leadup to the Civil War. He is also represented as a fanatic who would kill and be killed for his beliefs.
Younger slaves can do more work and work longer hours. southern planters needed more slaves so maybe it probably the the eastern slaves were sold to the southern for a lot of money
