History
1 answer:
Lady_Fox [76]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The main reason for the lack of industrialization in Latin America compared to North America was that colonial empires (Spain, Portugal, France, the UK) did not want their colonies to become self-sufficient.

Explanation:

The lack of industrialization in Latin America (as well as the Caribbean) can be mainly traced down to the fact that <u>colonial empires did not want their colonies to become self-sufficient</u>. <u>Colonies were used as a means of getting cheap, raw materials, which would then go to the mother country. There, people would turn the raw materials into finished goods, which would then be sold back to the colonies for a profit.</u> After many Latin American nations broke free, they had very little to start off, leading to a cycle of perpetual poverty, which continues to this day. A prime example of this in action is in Haiti, which broke free from France in 1804. Haiti was mainly a sugar plantation, and because of this, they didn't have much else industry other than what was necessary to harvest cash crops. As a result, it was extremely difficult to find work, which led to instability, corruption, and a cycle which has repeated itself to this day. This mercantilist mindset is the main reason why many countries in Latin America have a poor industrial base.

What contribution did Alexander Graham Bell make to industrial growth in the U.S. ?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Telegraphy

Explanation:

Alexander Graham Bell, born March 3, 1847, Edinburgh, Scotland—died August 2, 1922, Beinn Bhreagh, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada, Scottish-born American inventor, scientist, and teacher of the deaf whose foremost accomplishments were the invention of the telephone in 1876 and the refinement of the phonograph (1886).Alexander was born to Alexander Melville Bell and Eliza Grace Symonds. His mother was almost deaf, and his father taught elocution to the deaf, influencing Alexander’s later career choice as teacher of the deaf. At age 11 he entered the Royal High School at Edinburgh, but he did not enjoy the compulsory curriculum, and he left school at age 15 without graduating. In 1865 the family moved to London. Alexander passed the entrance examinations for University College London in June 1868 and matriculated there in the autumn. However, he did not complete his studies, because in 1870 the Bell family moved again, this time immigrating to Canada after the deaths of Bell’s younger brother Edward in 1867 and older brother Melville in 1870, both of tuberculosis. The family settled in Brantford, Ontario, but in April 1871 Alexander moved to Boston, where he taught at the Boston School for Deaf Mutes. He also taught at the Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton, Massachusetts, and at the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.One of Bell’s students was Mabel Hubbard, daughter of Gardiner Greene Hubbard, a founder of the Clarke School. Mabel had become deaf at age five as a result of a near-fatal bout of scarlet fever. Bell began working with her in 1873, when she was 15 years old. Despite a 10-year age difference, they fell in love and were married on July 11, 1877. They had four children, Elsie (1878–1964), Marian (1880–1962), and two sons who died in infancy.While pursuing his teaching profession, Bell also began researching methods to transmit several telegraph messages simultaneously over a single wire—a major focus of telegraph innovation at the time and one that ultimately led to Bell’s invention of the telephone. In 1868 Joseph Stearns had invented the duplex, a system that transmitted two messages simultaneously over a single wire. Western Union Telegraph Company, the dominant firm in the industry, acquired the rights to Stearns’s duplex and hired the noted inventor Thomas Edison to devise as many multiple-transmission methods as possible in order to block competitors from using them. Edison’s work culminated in the quadruplex, a system for sending four simultaneous telegraph messages over a single wire. Inventors then sought methods that could send more than four; some, including Bell and his great rival Elisha Gray, developed designs capable of subdividing a telegraph line into 10 or more channels. These so-called harmonic telegraphs used reeds or tuning forks that responded to specific acoustic frequencies. They worked well in the laboratory but proved unreliable in service.A group of investors led by Gardiner Hubbard wanted to establish a federally chartered telegraph company to compete with Western Union by contracting with the Post Office to send low-cost telegrams. Hubbard saw great promise in the harmonic telegraph and backed Bell’s experiments. Bell, however, was more interested in transmitting the human voice. Finally, he and Hubbard worked out an agreement that Bell would devote most of his time to the harmonic telegraph but would continue developing his telephone concept.

Which the following best explains the impact of the abolition of slavery in the indian territory​
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The slaves that were owned by Native Americans in Indian territory were emancipated but to the laws that existed within each tribal society and to their terms of citizenship and belonging.

Explanation:

It is little known that many of the groups who were forcibly removed from the Southeast in the Indian Removal Act were also slave owners. It is estimated for instance by author Tiya Miles that 1600 slaves of Cherokee slave owners also went west with their Cherokee owners into Indian Territory, what is now Oklahoma. When abolition occurred what happened is that the slaves gained the rights and responsibilities within each nation, so according to the treaties and self-governing principles that each tribe had with the United States government. There continues to be tension about this today in the Cherokee Nation for example as some African American slave descendants claim tribal membership based on the treaties that were in place at the time of emancipation.
