Factories wouldn’t have developed if it weren’t for the industrial revolution. The Industrial Revolution wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for the great inventions that led its birth. These inventions are the Spinning Jenny, the Water Frame, the Steam Engine and the Locomotive. The Spinning Jenny was a machine that could spin threads of wool. The Water frame was a large wheel that was turned by running water. The Steam Engine used steam to create energy to power a machine. The Locomotive was the first train that could transport people on roads.
Answer:
The 13th amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States, passed the Senate on April 8, 1864, and the House on January 31, 1865. On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln approved the Joint Resolution of Congress submitting the proposed amendment to the state legislatures. The necessary number of states ratified it by December 6, 1865. The 13th amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
In 1863 President Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring “all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” Nonetheless, the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation. Lincoln recognized that the Emancipation Proclamation would have to be followed by a constitutional amendment in order to guarantee the abolishment of slavery.
The 13th amendment was passed at the end of the Civil War before the Southern states had been restored to the Union and should have easily passed the Congress. Although the Senate passed it in April 1864, the House did not. At that point, Lincoln took an active role to ensure passage through congress. He insisted that passage of the 13th amendment be added to the Republican Party platform for the upcoming Presidential elections. His efforts met with success when the House passed the bill in January 1865 with a vote of 119–56.
With the adoption of the 13th amendment, the United States found a final constitutional solution to the issue of slavery. The 13th amendment, along with the 14th and 15th, is one of the trio of Civil War amendments that greatly expanded the civil rights of Americans.
Explanation:
The correct answer is A. Exploration was limited because there were no rivers on which to travel Into the Interior.
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the author explains in the map of South Africa there are long rivers; however, these rivers are dried or completely dried most of the time, this is explained in "you find either a waterless bed or a mere line of green and perhaps unsavory pools."
Moreover, this feature of rivers makes them useless in regards to transportation, which caused the interior area of the country to be unexplored for a long time. This is explained in "People could not penetrate it by following waterways". Also due to this, explorations occurred by land but this limited the exploration. According to this, one effect of rivers was "Exploration was limited because there were no rivers on which to travel Into the Interior."
