Answer:
a. growing cities in the East
b.new railroads and refrigerated cars.
c.barbed-wire fences
Explanation:
The 1800s were a period of discovering economic potentials in the United States that saw many ventures being initiated. Coupled with new technologies, theses ventures such as meat production and mining, saw profits increase and became big businesses.
Cattle for example experienced a massive growth that was brought by the cities in the east growing in size and demanding more meat to feed their populations. This demand coupled with new railroads and refrigerated cars meant that the meat could be transported long distances to these cities without worrying about them getting spoiled.
Also, with improvements in barbed-wire technology, land-owning ranchers could prevent other livestock from grazing on their fields while they themselves allowed theirs to graze. This led to cows eating healthier and therefore having more meat.
The French and Dutch settlements differed from the Spanish colonies in that they were created mainly to trade and develop industries, while the Spanish were primarily concerned with gold and silver excavation, and then later with sugar exportation.
Arguments in favour of a minimum wage mostly hang on the idea that firms have a responsibility to ensure that their workers earn enough to live on. If a firm can’t pay its workers enough to live on, then it isn’t a viable business, because it is dependent on wage subsidies. Of course “enough to live on” depends where you live: the cost of living in London is considerably higher than it is in, say, Newcastle, so a minimum wage that would give a reasonable standard of living in Newcastle is starvation level in London. The campaign for a voluntary Living Wage tries to persuade firms to pay above the current UK minimum wage, which is perceived as being below the real cost of living.
D) the united states suffering no war damage and having a strong economy
