New technology played a huge role in shaping the economy of the 1920s. Technology, such as the radio, were common because of mass culture, so people bought radios. Also, the car completely changed the way americans went about their daily lives. Cars created the largest industry in the US - $800 million. Cars helped create the self-perpetuating cycle of money/jobs (Standardized mass productions led to: Better machinery in factories led to: Higher production and higher wages led to: More demand for consumer goods led to: More standardized mass production). Cars also created a new market for credit. New technology helped the economy boom, and created the "golden age".

They worried that Lincoln would try to end slavery in the United States.

==========================================================

Explanation:

The issue of slavery was debated and fought over for many years before the election of 1860. It was only until Lincoln became president that sparked the southern states to secede, which led to the Civil War. Proof of this is found in the many Declaration of Secession documents produced by each state that left the union. This is basically a document explaining why they left the United States to form the Confederate States of America (CSA) aka the Confederacy.

In modern times, some people mistakenly claim that the Civil War wasn't over slavery but rather states' rights. This is simply false. The documents I mentioned prove that slavery was the core issue. More proof is the various states having issues with the fugitive slave act, in that the northern states didn't really adhere to the law to the level of the southern states' liking. I guess you could argue that states' rights were involved, but specifically the south fought to have the right to own slaves. In short, it's all about getting the correct context. Expanding that context, simply look at the decades preceding the war and notice all of the tension involving whether a new state was a free state vs a slave state.

Slavery had no impact on the northern industries.<br> True or false

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Some Northern states banned slavery outright, and some provided for the gradual end of slavery. At any rate, the climate of the Revolution made the institution unacceptable in the minds of many Northerners, who did not rely on forced labor as part of the economic system.

The Involvement of the United States in the crisis in Guatemala led to devastating effects for the people of the country.

The involvement led to a coup that overthrew a democratic government. The results were military and authoritative governments.

The reason for the involvement of the US was to contain communism in the Latin American nations. It succeeded in this.
