In colonial Connecticut between 1670 and 1719, women participated in one of every six civil cases, the vast majority of which we

re debt-related. Women's participation dropped to one in ten cases after 1719, and to one in twenty by the 1770's. However, as Cornelia Hughes Dayton notes in Women Before the Bar: Gender, Law, and Society in Connecticut, 1639–1789, these statistics are somewhat deceptive: in fact, both the absolute numbers and the percentage of adult women participating in civil cases grew steadily throughout the eighteenth century, but the legal activity of men also increased dramatically, and at a much faster rate. Single, married, and widowed women continued to pursue their own and their husbands' debtors through legal action much as they had done in the previous century, but despite this continuity, their place in the legal system shifted dramatically. Men's commercial interests and credit networks became increasingly far-flung, owing in part to the ability of creditors to buy and sell promissory notes (legal promises to pay debts). At the same time, women's networks of credit and debt remained primarily local and personal. Dayton contends that, although still performing crucial economic services in their communities—services that contributed to the commercialization of the colonial economy—women remained for the most part outside the new economic and legal culture of the eighteenth century.

Best answer:  C. Hitler and the Nazis were able to exploit the economic hardships and racism of Germany.

Context/details:

After the Great War (World War I), Germany was required to pay heavy reparations payments to Britain and France.  Meanwhile, Britain and France owed repayment of funds to the United States for borrowing they had done during the war.  So the United States had been supporting Germany in the 1920s with loans.  When the USA could no longer afford to extend loan monies to Germany after the stock market crash of 1929, that sent Germany's economy spiraling even deeper into the Depression than was felt in the United States.

The bad situation in Germany made it possible for a radical leader like Hitler, making all sorts of bold promises, to win over enough people to rise to power.  Hitler also used racial prejudice to blame the Jews for Germany's problems, leading to a campaign of persecution against the Jewish people in Germany. Hitler promised a return to national greatness and fiercely rebuilt Germany as a military machine.  The rise of Hitler and the Nazis brought about World War II in Europe, and the racism of their movement brought about the Holocaust.
