History

Answer:

However the Declaration of Independence established nothing regarding slaves or women. That would happen much later

Explanation:

When Jefferson wrote “all men are created equal” in the preamble to the Declaration, he was not talking about individual equality. What he really meant was that the American colonists, as a people, had the same rights of self-government as other peoples, and hence could declare independence, create new governments and assume their “separate and equal station” among other nations.

Women-The Declaration emphasized the need to extend voting rights to women and also covered their property rights, protection in marriage and divorce, and the broadening of employment and educational opportunities

Slavery- He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither.

Was nativism fueled more by economic or cultural forces? And why?
kkurt [141]

Economic forces

The rise of nativist sentiment within the US during the later part of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century was definitely fueled by economic forces. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, America was industrializing at a rapid pace. This created a high demand for unskilled workers to work in factories. With this in mind, many immigrants came to America for these economic opportunities. However, nativists despised these immigrants as many were willing to work for lower wages in comparison to American born citizens. This idea that immigrants were taking jobs from immigrants fueled nativist sentiment and resulted in political action, as the US federal government created the Immigration Act of 1924.

How might Europe be different if the Black Plague had never occurred
allochka39001 [22]

If the plague, also referred to as ''black death'', didn't occurred in Europe, the continent would have had a much larger population for starters. Because of the plague and the huge loss of population, Europe faced huge problems from social, economic, and military perspective, but if it hadn't occurred, Europe would have been much stronger and the progress of the continent would have been evident and bigger earlier in time. Considering the European colonialism, it was also going to have a huge global effect because there was going to be a much larger number of people migrating into the European colonies later on.
