Answer:

"Robber baron" is a derogatory term of social criticism originally applied to certain wealthy and powerful 19th-century American businessmen. The term appeared as early as the August 1870 issue of The Atlantic Monthly magazine. By the late 1800s, the term was typically applied to businessmen who used exploitative practices to amass their wealth. These practices included exerting control over natural resources, influencing high levels of government, paying subsistence wages, squashing competition by acquiring their competitors to create monopolies and raise prices, and schemes to sell stock at inflated prices to unsuspecting investors. The term combines the sense of criminal and illegitimate aristocracy.

erastova [34]

The correct answer is B, the National Road.

The National Road was the first major managed road in the United States built by the federal government. Carried out between 1811 and 1837, the 1,000-kilometer route connected the Potomac and the Ohio River and was one of the western tracks for thousands of settlers.

Construction began westward in 1811 at Cumberland, Maryland, on the Potomac River. After the financial panic of 1837 and the ensuing economic depression, funds from Congress were dry and construction was halted in Vandalia, Illinois.

Spartans had free will... Including woman (a strong woman means a healthy baby). The Athenians didn't have that free will for woman. They thought it was wrong, and that only the men should have that freedom.
