It was August 7, 1964 when the Gulf of Tunkin
Resolution passed by the US Congress right after the alleged attack on two US
naval destroyers stationed off the coast of Vietnam. The Gulf of Tonkin
Resolution viably propelled America's full-scale inclusion in the Vietnam War.
Though there is no formal declaration of war, this also gave President Johnson
approval "to take all necessary steps, including the use of armed force,
to assist any member or protocol state of the Southeast Asia Collective Defense
Treaty requesting assistance in defense of its freedom." This has been
used by Johnson and Pres. Richard Nixon as a justification for escalated
involvement in Indochina.
From 1750 onwards a new industry emerged in Britain - the production of cotton cloth. Wool production had previously been Britain's major industry, but cotton had one key advantage - machinery could process cotton fibres better than wool.

As a result it was in cotton production that the industrial revolution began, particularly in and around Manchester. The cotton used was mostly imported from slave plantations. Slavery provided the raw material for industrial change and growth.
The growth of the Atlantic economy was an integral part of the growth of exports - for example manufactured cotton cloth was exported to Africa.

Answer:
A sales tax is a type of indirect tax.
Explanation:
A sales tax is an indirect tax on point-of-purchase consumption for certain goods and services. This type of tax is usually calculated as a percentage of the final price to the consumer and is added to the price (tax-exclusive) or is already included (tax-inclusive).
The sales tax is the responsibility of the final consumer only; any intermediate buyer must produce a resale certificate to clear it and sales taxes are levied on any buyer who can not produce such a document.
The sales tax is set by each state and ranges from 0% (Oregon, Alaska, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Delaware) to 8.75% (California). In some cases, cities or counties also set a sales tax, which is added to the state tax (the maximum rate is applied in some counties in commercial zones of Illinois with 11.5% in total). The national average is about 6%.
There are numerous tribes of prehistoric populations in the southern part of Chile. These groups include the <em>Mapuches</em>, <em>Huillches</em>, <em>Cuncos</em>, <em>Chonos</em>, <em>Kawesgar</em>, and <em>Yaganes</em>.
Although agriculture was their primary economic activity, these groups relied on fish and seals as a source of protein and fat. These were essential goods when the time of winter came. Although they did practice fishing, these people's beliefs were based on the respect for the environments in which the animals lived, avoiding any sort of activity that would disrupt these.
