Answer:

The British used the profits from the trade ports to purchase such Chinese luxury goods as porcelain, silk, and tea, which were in great demand in the West. They wanted to ensure they were able to import their goods (the most lucrative being opium) and waged two wars to do so.

Study the maps below. Which map would you use to compare the actual sizes of Greenland and South America? Explain.
Marysya12 [62]
You would use the Equal Area Projection because it more accurately shows the size of landmasses. In the Mercator Projection While border shape is well preserved in an elegant flat map the stretching of the image done in order to preserve this distorts the map by making it appear as if Greenland is almost the same size as south america even though in reality Greenland is much smaller.

List two pieces of evidence that Rockefeller used to convince readers to support his arguments about rebates.
ExtremeBDS [4]

1. Rockefeller envisioned the consolidation of many small oil refineries into one giant company that controlled the production because, when the market for oil grew, the amount of buyers grew more, leading to prices going up and down and many small companies wet into bankruptcy. They created what they called "Our Plan" through Standard Oil to save the industry, by combining the businesses  

2. The three major railroads running through Cleveland and the Oil Regions of Pensylvannia were really costly, but when they were initially setup and the traffic started to grow more and more, the costs decreased, causing very high losses to the them. Since Standard Oil had the market power they were able to get discounts on railway freight rates. If a railroad did not wish to work with the Standard’s demands they would just ship with another railroad, so most of the railroads ended up agreed to work with them to continue with the businesses. Railroads were Erie, New York Central, and Pennsylvania.

In what ways did the Black Codes enact legal discrimination after the Civil War?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Black codes denied the blacks the rights to testify against whites, to serve on juries or in state militias, vote.

Explanation:

The Black Codes, sometimes called Black Laws, were laws governing the conduct of African Americans (free blacks). The best known of them were passed in 1865 and 1866 by Southern states, after the American Civil War, in order to restrict African Americans' freedom, and to compel them to work for low wages.

Immediately after the Civil War ended, Southern states enacted "black codes" that allowed African Americans certain rights, such as legalized marriage, ownership of property, and limited access to the courts, but denied them the rights to testify against whites, to serve on juries or in state militias, vote.

Even as former slaves fought to assert their independence and gain economic autonomy during the earliest years of Reconstruction, white landowners acted to control the labor force through a system similar to the one that had existed during slavery.
