Answer: The colonies were originally chartered to compete in the race for colonies in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. They then developed into prosperous colonies that made large profits based on cash crops such as tobacco, indigo dye, and rice.

Explanation:

Settlers in the Southern colonies came to America to seek economic prosperity they could not find in Old England. The English countryside provided a grand existence of stately manors and high living. But rural England was full, and by law those great estates could only be passed on to the eldest son.

Did the United States live up to its founding ideals of liberty, equality, and justice in the period from the Gilded Age to the
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Largely yes, but with some flaws as well.

Explanation:

The United States is nowadays a developed, high-income country, where the vast majority of citizens have a quality of life way higher than the world average.

The country also has a political system that works better than most countries in the world. The judicial branch is largely independent from the president, and this is not something to take as a given.

The country also has a great degree of liberty in many areas: religion, ideology, political association, and so on, which again, is also higher than the average country in the world.

However, there are still flaws, especially when it comes to equality. In the United States, there is great income inequality, and this inequality has been rising in the last decades. Racial minorities are also subject to some other forms of inequality that are more institutional, which makes it harder for them to progress.

Overall, the country mostly lives up to its ideals when compared to the vast majority of countries in the world, but it still has its flaws, and should improve.

What was the gentleman’s agreement
PtichkaEL [24]

A gentlemen's agreement or gentleman's agreement is an informal and legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties. It is typically oral, though it may be written, or simply understood as part of an unspoken agreement by convention or through mutually beneficial etiquette. The essence of a gentlemen's agreement is that it relies upon the honor of the parties for its fulfillment, rather than being in any way enforceable. It is, therefore, distinct from a legal agreement or contract, which can be enforced if necessary
