Answer:

Some fugitives went to Canada instead of staying in northern states because they risked being captured in northern states.

Explanation:

During the time of slavery in the southern United States, escaping slaves had to leave the southern states in order to guarantee (to some extent) their freedom. Even so, many times the owners crossed the Mason-Dixon Line and captured the fugitives, either in open places in front of anyone, or with the collusion of the authorities. Therefore, once the Underground Railroad (the organization that was in charge of helping the slaves to escape) was formed, many routes were directed directly to Canada, so as not to saturate the routes to the great northern cities such as New York, as to guarantee the safety of slaves in a country that had abolished slavery in 1807.

What is the difference between world war 1 and world war 2​
mafiozo [28]

There are a number of differences between World War I and II.

The primary is the origin story.

With World War I, the war broke out because of a complex web of diplomatic and military alliances that were summoned after the assassination of the Arch Duke of the Austro Hungarian Empire. It was further exacerbated by a culture of nationalism throughout Europe.

World War II broke out because of the belligerence of the German Third Reich and its allies.

What maintains the stability of the American currency?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

What makes a currency stable? A stable currency is one that can successfully hold its unit of account or purchasing power over some time. At a basic level, a currency is stable when the international currency exchange rates do not fluctuate too much as against the Consumer Price Index. The reserve status is based largely on the size and strength of the U.S. economy and the dominance of the U.S. financial markets. Despite large deficit spending, trillions of dollars in debt, and the unbridled printing of U.S. dollars, U.S. Treasury securities remain the safest store of money. Countries, especially developing ones, pursue stable exchange rates to attract foreign capital. They usually accomplish this by fixing their currencies to that of a more stable country, a practice called pegging. A country's central bank may increase or decrease the money supply to maintain this rate.
