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.

A paper that talks about all of these topics could be titled "America's fear of communism, socialism, and anarchy after World War I."

All of the aforementioned events/people deal with fear felt by American citizens. For example, Sacco and Vanzetti were two Italian immigrants known for their political views. They believed in a society that had no government, also known as an anarchy. These two men were accused of, and later found guilty, of committing a murder. However, many individuals argued that they were found guilty not because of the evidence but rather the fact that they were anarchists.

The Palmer Raids were another result of fear towards a specific group. In this case, Attorney General Palmer raided the homes of 5,000 suspected communists. The goal was to uncover any plans to overthrow the American government. No evidence was found to support this conclusion.

American colonists were unlike people in most colonies and nations because of what reason?
kogti [31]
I think the major reason why American colonists were different is because they came to a new land to flee persecution from their government. In what I have learned about societies forming colonies, many colonies were formed in other countries because a nation had control of that country. Take the Greek empire for example. The Greek citizens moved to counties that Greece had invaded and dwelt among those people and learned from them as well. In the Americas no one had really formed a colony or claimed the land for their country. Hopefully this helps.

Which New Deal agency had the creation of new jobs as its primary goal?
alina1380 [7]
<span>The New Deal<span>At Roosevelt's nationally broadcast inauguration speech, the new president denounced the "money changers" who had brought on the economic disaster and declared that the government must wage war on the Great Depression as it would against an armed foe. Roosevelt's liberal solution to the problems was to aggressively use government as a tool for creating a "new deal" for the American people, aimed at three R's--relief, recovery, and reform. The New Deal's most immediate goals were short-range relief and immediate recovery. These were the immediate goals of the Hundred Days Congress, which met March 9-June 6, 1933. Long-range goals of permanent recovery and the reform of institutional abuses and practices that had produced the Depression came as part of the Second New Deal, from November 1933 to 1939.
