Answer:

Long before Samuel F. B. Morse electrically transmitted his famous message "What hath God wrought?" from Washington to Baltimore on May 24, 1844, there were signaling systems that enabled people to communicate over distances. Most were visual or "semaphore" systems using flags or lights. In the eighteenth century, such systems used an observer who would decipher a signal from a high tower on a distant hill and then send it on to the next station. The young American republic wanted just such a system along its entire Atlantic coast and offered a prize of $30,000 for a workable proposal. The framers of this legislation had no way of knowing that when they used the word "telegraph" to refer to this visual semaphore system, they would be offered an entirely new and revolutionary means of communication--electricity.

During the mid-1800s, which region relied MOST on farming and a workforce of slaves?
Phoenix [80]

In the Thirteen Colonies, plantations were concentrated in the South. These colonies included Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. They had good soil and almost year-round growing seasons, ideal for crops such as rice and tobacco. The existence of many waterways in the region made transportation easier. Each colony specialized in one or two crops, with Virginia standing out in tobacco production[2]

<span>Slavery<span>[edit]</span></span>See also: Slavery in the United States and Slavery in the colonial United StatesSugar plantation in the British colony of Antigua, 1823

Planters embraced the use of slaves mainly because indentured labor became expensive. Some indentured servants were also leaving to start their own farms as land was widely available. Colonists tried to use Native Americans for labor, but they were susceptible to European diseases and died in large numbers. The plantation owners then turned to enslaved Africans for labor. In 1665, there were fewer than 500 Africans in Virginia but by 1750, 85 percent of the 235,000 slaves lived in the Southern colonies, Virginia included. Africans made up 40 percent of the South’s population.[3]

According to the 1840 United States Census, one out of every four families in Virginia owned slaves. There were over 100 plantation owners who owned over 100 slaves.[4]

<span>Number of slaves in the Lower South: 2,312,352 (47% of total population).Number of slaves in the Upper South: 1,208,758 (9% of total population).Number of slaves in the Border States: 432,586 (13% of total population).</span>

Fewer than one-third of Southern families owned slaves at the peak of slavery prior to the Civil War. In Mississippi and South Carolina the figure approached one half. The total number of slave owners was 385,000 (including, in Louisiana, some free African Americans), amounting to approximately 3.8% of the Southern and Border states population.

On a plantation with more than 100 slaves, the capital value of the slaves was greater than the capital value of the land and farming implements.

which weakness made our first attempt with a government so unsuccessful, lasting for only 12 years (1777 – 1789)? Explain why. (
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The Confederation government could not handle post-war debts and economic depression.

Explanation:

Because there was great fear among the American people about having a strong central government, they decided to run a confederacy and make the central government as weak as possible.

However, this decision came back to haunt them when there was a rebellion by the people in 1786 after the Confederation could not settle the debts they owed to European countries and the central government could not raise enough money to muster troops that will quell the rebellion.
