Answer: The Granger Movement against the railroads

Explanation:

In the late 19th century, the Railroad companies and their Corporate backers had began to act like cartels due to the very important service they provided and the lack of alternatives.

Because industries like Agriculture and others relied on them to transport goods across the country, they started charging higher prices which made farming less profitable.

The farmers then organised themselves into Granges from the 1860s onwards and these granges were able to influence legislature that brought the railroad companies under control by electing people into power that would lobby for such.

What form of protest was organized by James L. Farmer, Jr.?
juin [17]

Answer:

James L. Farmer, Jr, was the organizer of the Freedom Rides.

Explanation:

Freedom Rides were a form of resistance that emerged from the civil rights movement. The so-called Freedom Riders helped abolish state-sanctioned racial segregation by taking suburban buses to the southern states to implement the Supreme Court's rulings that prohibited segregation in public transport, restaurants, and waiting rooms.

The first Freedom Ride, led by James L. Farmer Jr. left Washington, D.C. on May 4, 1961 towards New Orleans. The joint drive of whites and blacks provoked violent protests, gave rise to the civil rights movement and first made American citizens and later the whole world aware of the problem. Participants were arrested in part for trespassing, unlawful assembly, and violations of state and local laws.

Which of the following statements about the War of 1812 are true? (Choose all that apply)
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The correct answers are A, B and E.  

Explanation:

The War of 1812 was a military conflict between the United States, on the one hand, and Great Britain and its North American colonies in present-day Canada, on the other, which took place from 1812 to 1815. The war started after President Jefferson - President of the US - wanted to stay out of European conflicts. He wanted to devote himself to building the new nation, doubling US territory under his rule. The United States also wanted to continue to trade unhindered with Napoleon Bonaparte's France and with other Napoleonic-controlled countries in mainland Europe. Britain did not want to recognize this neutrality right, in response to which Jefferson declared a trade embargo in 1807.

In 1812, Jefferson's successor James Madison declared war on Britain with the primary objective of breaking the Indian-British coalition and liberating Canada. During this war, on the night of August 24-25, 1814, Washington was occupied by the British and several public buildings, including the White House, were burned to the ground.  

This war was finally ended with the Treaty of Ghent, which was drafted in 1814 and ratified by the Americans in 1815. English supremacy at sea was not curbed. Nor did the US succeed in conquering Canada. However, the British stopped supporting their Native American allies so that the colonization by the Americans of Native American territory could no longer be prevented by the original inhabitants.
