Answer:

In the 1920s more people invested in the stock market than ever before. Stock prices rose so fast that at the end of the decade, some people became rich overnight by buying and selling stocks. People could buy stocks on margin which was like installment buying. People could buy stocks for only a 10% down payment! The buyer would hold the stock until the price rose and then sell it for a profit. As long as the stock prices kept going up, the system worked. However, during 1928 and 1929, the prices of many stocks went up faster than the value of the companies the stocks represented. Some experts warned that the bull market would end.

Buying on credit was a huge problem in the 1920s. Since the 20s was a period of great economic boom, not many people took the future into consideration. Many people bought refrigerators, cars, etc. with money that they did not have. This system was called installment buying. With this system, people could make a monthly, weekly, or yearly payment on an item that they wanted or needed. This happened until Black Tuesday, when the stock market crashed. The two systems, installment buying and buying on credit, left millions of people in debt . When many lost their jobs, they could not pay back the debts they had incurred.

Buying stock on margin is when you buy it without paying the full price. A individual who buys on margin pays a small percentage of the stock's price and borrows the rest of the money. The individual hopes that the stock price will rise, helping them to pay off the loan.

People were able to pay inflated rates for stocks because they were buying on the margin and were overconfident about the stocks' prospects. The bubble finally burst, and stock prices plummeted. As stock prices plummeted, anyone who had borrowed to buy on margin was in deep trouble. They went bankrupt after they were unable to repay their loans. Banks struggled as a result of the failure of too many people to repay their loans. Much of this led to the Great Depression.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

<em>Slavery was so profitable, it sprouted more millionaires per capita in the Mississippi River valley than anywhere in the nation. With cash crops of tobacco, cotton and sugar cane, America's southern states became the economic engine of the burgeoning nation. Their fuel of choice? Human slavery. Under the law, an enslaved person was treated as property and could be bought, sold, or given away. Slavery lasted in about half of U.S. states until 1865. As an economic system, slavery was largely replaced by sharecropping and convict leasing.</em>

<em>Slavery had been practiced in British America from early colonial days, and was legal in all thirteen colonies at the time those colonies formed the United States. Under the law, an enslaved person was treated as property and could be bought, sold, or given away. Slavery lasted in about half of U.S. states until 1865.The first 19 or so Africans to reach the British colonies arrived in Point Comfort, Virginia, near Jamestown, in 1619, brought by British privateers who had seized them from a captured Portuguese slave ship. Slaves were usually baptized in Africa before embarking.</em>

Just one month after writing this letter, Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which announced that at the beginning of 1863, he would use his war powers to free all slaves in states still in rebellion as they came under Union control.

Who got the right to vote first​
katrin2010 [14]
When it come to a group of people, I believe white men were able to vote first, then in 1869 woman were able to vote, while non-white and free male slaves were able to vote in 1870. But if your asking a person I honestly don’t know who! Sorry if this ain’t what you had asked for!
