Answer:

    Free blacks throughout the antebellum period, which encompassed the years from the creation of the Union until the Civil War, were vocal in their opposition to slavery's injustice. In terms of their ability to express themselves, their location in the North or the South was a determining factor. Free Southern blacks continued to live under the shadow of slavery, unable to move or congregate as freely as those in the North, despite their freedom from slavery. Additionally, it was more difficult for them to create and maintain churches, schools, and fraternal organizations like as the Masons during this time period.

    Despite the fact that their lives were restricted by a slew of discriminatory regulations even during the colonial period, freed African Americans, particularly those living in the North, were active participants in the life of the country. Black troops served in the American Revolution and the War of 1812, and many of them were African-American. Some had land, residences, businesses, and were required to pay taxes. For brief periods of time in some Northern cities, black property owners were able to cast ballots. Slaves were owned by a very tiny number of free blacks. The slaves that the majority of free blacks purchased were relatives who were eventually manumitted by their masters. Slave holding plantations in Louisiana, Virginia, and South Carolina were owned by a small number of free blacks.

The answer is they had skills similar to modern people

Explanation:  Neolithic is a chronological division of the so-called Prehistory of Humanity, from 10,000 BC to 4,000 BC Neolithic means “new stone” or Polished Stone Age.

Who received a third of the nation's income during the 1920's
erma4kov [3.2K]

The top 5% of the nation's wealthiest individuals received a third of the nation's income in the 1920's. The inequality towards work conditions, education and other social factors caused a great disparity in economic wealth during the 1920's. As a result only a few were benefactors of the nation's income during that decade.

Explain how militarism contributed to the beginning of world war 1
vlabodo [156]

Hey Rich!

The Britain felt that they were superior to all other countries. France wanted what the British had and Germany wanted what the French had. This provoked fierce competition and each country worked to build up the strongest military. This led to an arms race between these three powers. Both Germany's and France's armies doubled in size between 1870 and 1914. The increase of military and naval rivalry led to the belief that a war was coming. Germany felt that through war, they could become a world power. As a result of the arms race, European powers were fully prepared for war when 1814 arrived.

Hope this helped!
