What was the gold standard? Which groups of Americans supported it, and which groups opposed it?

History
1 answer:
Y_Kistochka [10]3 years ago
4 0
<span>The gold standard is a monetary system where a country's currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold.</span><span><span>The farmers opposed the gold standard because in order to live on their farms, they needed to take out a mortgage on them because they couldn't pay the entire fee by themselves. Thus, farmers were in debt, and a gold AND silver standard would help them by increasing the amount of currency in circulation. Inflation would help debtors because more currency would be produced, therefore the value of each currency would decrease and the value of their debts would similarly decrease, making it easier to pay off. The amount of debt would stay the same, but they would be getting higher wages because of inflation. The wealthy and eastern industrial workers supported a gold standard because inflation would not help them. The wealthy had savings accounts and such, and inflation would lessen the value of their savings. Similarly, the industrial workers might also have a small savings account, but would not have a mortgage on a farm like the westerners (they would live in tenement buildings), so inflation would not have a positive effect on them either. </span> </span>

Stephen A. Douglas’s plan to allow each territory to vote on slavery was called __________.
mina [271]
This correct answer is "popular sovereignty."

This idea of letting territories vote on whether or not they wanted slavery was supposed to be helpful in solving the issue of slavery in the United States. However, this led to terrible violence and bloodshed, especially in Kansas. After Kansas voted to become a slave state, many anti-slavery individuals claimed the election was rigged due voters coming from Missouri to vote in the Kansas election. This resulted in fighting between the two. This period is now known as "Bleeding Kansas." This idea was one of many solutions that failed to solve the issue of slavery in America.

The government makes ALL economic decisions. What type of economy is this
vodka [1.7K]
<h3>Answer: B) Command</h3>

For instance, the government sets prices of all goods in a command economy and they also set the production level (ie how much of a certain item to produce).

A traditional economy is based on the culture and often uses the barter method. A market economy uses currency instead of bartering, and the prices are determined by market forces (ie the people in the market). A mixed economy is a combination of command and market.

An example of a mixed economy is the United States where free market forces determine prices though there are government regulations set up to ensure the economy doesn't go south, and to ensure fair trade practices are followed.
