With the end of World War II, the US lived a moment of prosperity. North Americans used the money they collected during the war to buy goods that were not available during the conflict. There was a large birth rate due back from the soldiers to their homes and with the increase of the economy unemployment fell a lot.
There were several social changes in the following years, among which we can mention the increase in the minimum wage, the expansion of social insurance and the foundation of the energy department.
However over time the high expenses with social programs and the country's involvement in the Vietnam War generated great inflation in the 70's, with this the economy suffered a fall and there was increase in unemployment and instability in the income of the country

c. Make the crowd see that Caesar was not a tyrant.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the killing of Julius Caesar and the fight for the power of Rome among the leaders. The play deals with themes of loyalty, greed, power, government, good vs evil, appearance, and reality, etc.
Antony's speech at the funeral of Caesar was not done to openly criticize the murderers and conspirators. Instead, he termed them <em>"honorable men" </em>while his tone and expression say otherwise. He expresses his belief that Caesar was not a tyrant and <em>"over-ambitious"</em> like Brutus claimed. But rather, Caesar was one who deemed all of them as his family, as his <em>"heirs"</em>. Moreover, he points out that he (Caesar) denied the crown thrice, which is suggestive of his humility and not something that a tyrant would do.

The profits from the sale of the sugar would be shipped to West Africa where the majority of slaves came from, and the slaves were sent to the Caribbean to work on sugar plantations.
