How was the 2000 presidential election ultimately decided?

History

Correct answer:

<h2>C. The US Supreme Court ruled that George Bush won Florida and the presidency.</h2>

Further details:

The 2000 election was extremely close, and the voting in Florida was extremely close. Ultimately, the outcome in Florida would determine the outcome of the nation's election for president. George W. Bush led the vote count on election night by 1,784 votes. That was a narrow enough lead to trigger an automatic machine recount of all ballots. When the machine recount was done, the actual lead for Bush was only 900 votes. The other candidate, Al Gore, was able to use Florida state law to request manual recounting of ballots in four key counties. But because the manual recounts were taking more time than the state law allowed, Gore petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to extend the time, so that those recounts could continue. It was the Bush campaign that appealed to the US Supreme Court, and the US Supreme Court stopped the recount process. When that happened, Florida's electoral votes (and with them, the election win) were awarded to Bush.

What was the primary way the farms in the south differed from those in the north ?
ehidna [41]

The primary way that farms in the south differed from those in the north is because the farms of the south raised cash crops using a plantation system.

Further Explanation:

In colonial America (1600-1775), slave labor was used throughout the 13 American colonies. In the North, slaves were used in industries such as shipbuilding. In the South, slaves were used for planting cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo.

Once America became independent and started developing its own rules, the views on slavery changed. After 1800, some states started to outlaw slavery while other states kept it. One of the biggest changes was that Southern states focused predominantly on growing one extremely important cash crop, cotton. America became the largest exporter of cotton in the world.

Despite the economic success, slavery brought with it many negative effects such as the mistreatment of African Americans, fights between abolitionists and pro slavery citizens, etc.

Ultimately, this institution would be one of the main factors in sparking the Civil War.
