Answer:

The lynching, the death of people by the extrajudicial action of a crowd, has existed in the United States, especially since the end of the 18th century until the 60s of the 20th century. Between 1890 and the 1920s, in the southern states, the lynchings were mainly victims of black people, reaching its peak in 1892. Lynchings were also very common in the Old West, although in this case, the victims belonged to different ethnic groups or nationalities, such as Native Americans, Mexicans or Chinese.

The lynching of Henry Smith, a former slave accused of murdering a policeman's daughter, was one of the most famous. He was lynched in Paris, Texas, in 1893, for killing Myrtle Vance, the three-year-old daughter of a Texas police officer, after this policeman assaulted Smith. Smith did not come to be tried in a court. A large crowd witnessed the lynching, as was then usual, in the style of public executions. Henry Smith was tied to a wooden platform, tortured for 50 minutes with red-hot irons, and finally burned alive amid the cheers of more than 10,000 spectators.

The lynchings safeguarded the turn of power and were public manifestations of white power. The racial tensions had an economic basis. In trying to rebuild the plantation economy, the landlords needed to control the workers. In addition, agriculture suffered a rampant depression and the price of cotton continued to fall after the Civil War until the last decade of the nineteenth century. In many parts of the deep south there was a labor shortage, especially in the Mississippi Delta, in full development. Attempts to attract immigrant workers were unsuccessful, as immigrants did not last long in agricultural work. The lynchings were due to an attempt on the part of the landlords to terrorize the workers, especially when the time came to do accounts and they were unable to pay salaries, at the same time that they wanted to prevent the workers from leaving.

Identify the statements that CORRECTLY relate to the Roosevelt Corollary
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The Roosevelt corollary was an addition by President Theodore Roosevelt to the Monroe Doctrine.  According to the Monroe Doctrine, Europeans could not intervene on the American continent; the Roosevelt Corollary provided that the United States had priority to intervene against foreign interventions.

The Roosevelt Corollary was theorized after Germany and the United Kingdom threatened an armed intervention in Venezuela in 1902 due to financial issues, only to submit to the Permanent Court of Arbitration, under pressure from Roosevelt himself, and after thirty-two countries claimed the payment of $ 32 million in debt from the Dominican Republic.

Why do historians consider the greatest achievement of the Byzantine Empire to be the preservation of Greek and Roman cultures?
ikadub [295]
Historians consider the greatest achievement of the Byzantine Empire to be the preservation of Greek and Roman cultures Because Greek and Roman literature, arts, mathematics, engineering, etc. has been preserved by the Byzantine Empire, people were able to have access to the information and ideas that the Greeks and Romans produced which helps modern mathematicians and engineers to this day.
