Answer and Explanation.

After the Civil War, slavery persisted in the form of convict leasing, a system in which Southern states leased prisoners to private railways, mines, and large plantations. While states profited, prisoners earned no pay and faced inhumane, dangerous, and often deadly work conditions.

Answer:

Explanation:

Between 1875 and 1928, the state and counties of Alabama profited from a form of prison labor known as the convict-lease system. Under this system, companies and individuals paid fees to state and county governments in exchange for the labor of prisoners on farms, at lumberyards, and in coal mines.

Which of these ideas from the Declaration of Independence explains the proper purpose of government?
Naya [18.7K]

"To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men."

Explanation:

  • This document, called the Declaration of Independence, declares by itself that the 13 North American colonies are free and independent states and that all political ties with the Great Britain is interrupted and continues to explain the reasons for secession from the parent company.
  • It is in fact a continuation of Richard Henry Lee's Resolution adopted on July 2 by Congress, which was the first to proclaim the independence of the colonies. On August 2, 1776, an enlarged copy of this document was signed and signed by almost all congressmen of the time, and it is now kept in the US National Archives of Documents.
  • It also emphasizes that all people are created equal, their inalienable right to life, liberty and happiness. To exercise these rights, people create states and organize righteous authority. If this power is harmful, they can replace it, abolish it and establish a new state.
