Explanation:

Governor Dorothy Ann Richards was the forty-fifth governor of Texas. She was a democrat who led from 1991-1995. When Ann Richards came into power, the economy of Texas as well as that of the United States, had had a downturn since the mid 1980s. Governor Ann Richards addressed this problem by instituting a program for economic revitalisation which yielded a growth of two percent in 1991. Governor Ann Richards refined the Texas prison system. She reduced the number of violent offenders that were released and established a program on substance abuse for the inmates. She also expanded the prison space for the growing prison population.

School financing was one of the main issues of Ann Richards government. She attempted to make school fundings more equitable by launching the Robin hood plan. She signed into law the amendment to the Texas financial responsibility law.

melomori [17]

The correct answer is B, as the quote supports the States' rights to govern themselves.

Since the war against Great Britain was still going on, the settlers did not want to establish another powerful national government. With the zeal to protect its new independence, the Continental Congress created a weak unicameral structure that protected the freedom of the member states. Although Congress regulated monetary and military matters, the Articles had not designed any mechanism to make sure that each State complied with the troops and the money that was needed.

1. The colony was founded mainly by planters from the overpopulated English sugar island of Barbados, who brought relatively large numbers of African slaves from that island to establish new plantations. To meet agricultural labor needs, colonists also practiced Indian slavery for some time.

2. Slaves included captives from wars and slave raids; captives bartered from other tribes, sometimes at great distances; children sold by their parents during famines; and men and women who staked themselves in gambling when they had nothing else, which put them into servitude in some cases for life.

3. In New England, it was common for enslaved people to learn specialized skills and crafts due to the area's more varied economy. Ministers, doctors, and merchants also used slave labor to work alongside them and run their households. As in the South, enslaved men were frequently forced into heavy or farm labor.

4. The jobs in each region were different because they all harvest and require different needs.

5. England's southern colonies in North America developed a farm economy that could not survive without slave labor. Many slaves lived on large farms called plantations. These plantations produced important crops traded by the colony, crops such as cotton and tobacco.

6. While working on plantations in the Southern United States, many slaves faced serious health problems. Improper nutrition, unsanitary living conditions, and excessive labor made them more susceptible to diseases than their owners; the death rates among the slaves were significantly higher due to diseases.

7. The colonists could of used animals or done it themselves.

Most Americans believed it was their responsibility to spread the ideals of democracy.
Andre45 [30]
White Man's burden. It was common in around 1899, when <span>British novelist and poet Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem entitled “The White Man's Burden: The United States and The Philippine Islands..” , urging the US to spread democracy to those less fortunate than them. Really, it was an excuse for imperialism, and to forcefully spread their religion. </span>
