Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

“Government that begin by burning books end by burning people" is quote that is made popular by Heinrich Heine, a German of Jewish origin, who wrote in one of his book that "Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too". This implies that, the purpose of burning books is to delete permanently the knowledge and history in the book. However, book is just a medium, and people can still pass the knowledge and history through other means, then, those burning the books, will eventually burn people to eradicate the knowledge and history inside the book completely.

Hence, it relates to democracy, because democracy is a form of government that prohibits oppression and encourage expression of the citizens regardless of class, hence, should any democratic government intends to silence people's opinions and voices, by burning their books or written thoughts on subject matter affecting the country, will eventually burn the people giving out those thoughts, that is by silencing them, jailing them or killing them completely, to eliminate and remove their knowledge from the public.

During the Civil War, what percentage of the firearm production was controlled by the Union?
vfiekz [6]

The correct answer is D) 97%.

During the Civil War, the percentage of firearm production that was controlled by the Union was 97%.

According to the graphic that compares the resources between the Union Army and the Confederate Army during the Civil War, we can see how the industry of the Union states favored the circumstances of the Northern states over the Southern states that heavily depended on agriculture and slavery. The Union had fabrics and railroads that helped them transport war supplies to different parts of the territory. They also had more money in the bank to finance the war effort.

Why was slave labor so important to the economy of the Southern colonies?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Slaves provided much of the labor on plantations that grew cash crops.

Plantations were the main economic activity in the American South during the antebellum period. These plantations cultivated cotton, tobacco, sugar, indigo, and rice. The warm climate, plentiful rainfall and fertile soil meant that the plantations were able to flourish. However, they were labour-intensive, and most workers were African slaves. Planters held dozens, or sometimes hundreds, of slaves, making slave labor very important to the economy of the Southern colonies.
