<u>Answer</u>:

Seminoles were a threat to Georgia because (C): They sheltered runaway slaves and would not return them.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The term Seminole was the name of a tribe of Native America which was formed by the people who had settled in Florida in the 18th century, especially in Georgia and Alabama. The Seminoles formed their own identity and traditions such as the use of ritual beverages and tobacco and therefore became independent from other groups.

During the 17th century, many black slaves started escaping from Georgia to Spanish Florida looking for liberty, which was given to them in exchange of protecting the town. As the Seminoles started to welcome all escaped African slaves, and even accepted the intermarriage with the former ones, their group started expanding until they eventually come to be known widely as the Gullah people.

Several countries including Georgia, showed their irritation of the situation and caused the US army to invade the Seminoles territory in order to recapture the escaped slaves.

Describe the economic situation for people in the U.S. During the great depression
Masja [62]

Due to the fall in the stock market, there has been a decrease in consumer spending and investments. This was caused by a steep decline in industrial production and a rise in unemployment due to failed companies that fired their workers. After the fall in the first 10 months of 1930, 744 banks collapsed - 10 times more. In all, 9,000 banks collapsed during the decade of the 1930s. It is estimated that 4,000 banks failed only during one year in 1933. Until 1933, depositors lost $ 140 billion due to the failure of banks. This is too simplified to find out the decline in stock trading as a unique cause of the Great Depression. However, in 1932, when the country collapsed in the depths of the Great Depression and about 15 million people (more than 20% of the American population at that time) was unemployed.

Henry encouraged Roman Catholic missionaries to go into Huguenot strongholds. From 1550 to 1600, the Huguenots had made great gains in France. The dislocation caused by the French Wars of Religion had given them an opportunity to make gains. This peaked when Henry IV became the legitimate king of France.
