The Southern politicians started to think and talk about secession because of multiple reasons, from economic to social ones. The Southern politicians did not had lot of things in common with the Northern politicians, nor did their respective states.

The Southern states were economically stronger. They had a very large agricultural production and large market to sell it, while the North was reliant on other means. The Southern politicians wanted to keep the things as they are socially, while the Northern ones wanted lot of changes. The slavery was also a major issue, as the South was seeing the slaves as a must for their economic prosperity, while the North wanted to abolish the slavery.

In general, the South and the North were like a cat and dog, pretty much disagreeing in everything, having different attitudes and approaches to pretty much everything. This led the Southern politicians to talk seriously about a secession as they were not seeing a future together with the North as they were radically differing from one another.

Which of the following groups helped to bring settlers to New Netherland in the 1600s?

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Trading companies.

Explanation:

The beginning of settlements in New Netherland began in the 17th century when a group of traders came to the land by ship sponsored by the West India Company. The passengers of this ship became the first occupants of the settlement in New Netherland which is now known as present-day Manhattan.

With the interest in the fur trade and the promise of religious freedom to the settlers, Dutch traders brought settlers into the land with increased interest in trading rather than permanent settlement. Trading companies then lure people with the prospect of having a stable trading system and also the freedom to practice their own religions. This prospect of having religious freedom and also make money led to the gradual increase in the number of settlers coming into the land.

During the McCarthy era, there was an anticommunist politic.

1938: There were the "House Committee on Un-American Activities", which job was detecting every communist activism and affinity. Also many trials took place against politicians, business man, thought leaders and Hollywood personalities. Especially in the film industry, there were strong suspicions of communist propaganda and influence. These doubts allow the Government to start a "witch hunt", giving the Committe a huge power blaming every suspect for being sovietics agents.

This committee made a "black list" with every accussed of collaboration with the communist cause.

Many people who were accussed or suspect, were left jobless and while they were judged, there was no respect for the individual.

Suspects were left without a fair trial.

The term Mccarthyism was concieved as the excuses governors apply and handle, invoking national security, chasing opponents without respecting their constitutional rights. They hide behind the intentions of protecting the country, setting this vital investigations, to guard democracy, no matter if they sensor those who are not in accordance with their politics.
