Woodrow Wilson's economic and social reforms were related to one another. Campaigning for the presidency in 1912, Wilson set forth a platform he called "The New Freedom." The ideas of the "New Freedom" platform called for various progressive reforms, a number of which were enacted during Wilson's first term in office as President.
Wilson's economic reforms included:
-- Tariff reform. The Underwood Tariff Act, passed in 1913, lowered tariffs for the first time in several decades. This went against protectionist interests of businesses and favored the common person as a consumer of goods, allowing competition that would lower prices.
-- Business reform: The Federal Trade Commission Act, passed in 1914, set up the Federal Trade Commission to put a stop to illegal business practices. This was another move that favored the American buyer over the big business owners.
Banking reform: The Federal Reserve System was created in 1913, and the Federal Farm Loan Act was passed in 1916 (to help farmers obtain loans). These were further moves to aid the average American over against the power of big businesses and banks.
All of these economic reforms aimed at helping members of society, a part of Wilson's overall progressive plans for social justice. During his administration, some other social reforms were enacted, such as setting a maximum 8-hour workday for railroad workers and setting a minimum working age of 14 for most jobs limiting work hours for minors. Some of Wilson's bigger campaign promises, however, never did get enacted, such as establishing a national health care system. And while the New Freedom campaign had promised social justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, in practice Wilson's presidency supported racial segregation. Thus, major social reforms were less successful under his watch than were economic reforms that benefited the lower and middle classes within society.

Explanation:
The people were forced still but sometime they had a way easier time to escape if they tried. Also the force on slaves was different because they mostly were all the same race.
In many ways the Columbian Exchange that occurred after Columbus landed in the New World was an early form of globalization in that it led to good and ideas to be spread over the world.
<span>Which statement best characterizes a dictatorship?
The answer is that the leader maintains power by force.
Hitler, for example.
He wasn't born into power. He was an ordinary guy with a bad haircut that joined a party in Germany called the "Nazi's Party". It was after World War 1 that many turned to extreme decisions and leaders, and Hitler was chosen as Chancellor after he had done things that would surprise a nation. (He tried overthrowing Germany's regime for instance and was jailed for treason). People turned to him because he made them feel good about their race, and they wanted someone whom could take them out of the poverty they were facing after Germany was in debt.
In general, dictators tend to use force to control, and usually get rid of any political opposition. Those are the characteristics.
I really do hope this helps. :) </span>
