Answer:
#1 Sharecropping is a legal arrangement with regard to agricultural land in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crops produced on that land.
#2 High interest rates, unpredictable harvests, and dishonest landowners and merchants often kept sharecropping families severely in debt, requiring the debt to be carried over until the next year or the next. Laws favoring landowners made it difficult or even illegal for sharecroppers to sell their crops
#3 The former slave owners invented sharecropping as the next best thing to slavery (from their point of view) and imposed it as soon as the Federal government ceased trying to protect the former slaves. Sharecropping was brought to us by the same folks who brought us slavery as the nearest thing to a continuation of slavery they could get away with.

Well it’s a book. do you need a summary?
Answer:
It is given that the water taxi's path can be modeled by the equation y =0.5(x - 14)^2. Therefore, this is one of the equations in this system. Find a linear equation that will model the path of the water skier, which begins at the point (6,6) and ends at the point (8,-4). The slope is (-5). Use the slope and one point on the line to find the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept of the line that passes through the points (6,6) and (8,-4) is (0,36). Thus, the equation is y=-5x+36. Now, to determine if it is possible for the water skier to collide with the taxi, we have to determine if there is a solution to the system of equations. To determine if there is a solution to the system of equations, solve the system using substitution. First, write the equation that models the water taxi's path in standard form. y=0.5(x - 14)^2-->0.5x^2-14x+98. Use substitution. Substitute for y in the equation and then solve for x. As the expression on the left side of the equation cannot easily be factored, use the Quadratic Formula to solve for x. Do x=-b(plusorminus)sqrrtb^2-4ac/2a. Identify a, b, and c. a=0.5, b=-9, and c=62. Substitute into the Quadratic Formula. If there is a negative number under the radical, there are NO solutions. Thus, the path of the water skier will never cross the path of the taxi.
In conclusion: It is not possible that the water skier could collide with the taxi as the two paths never cross.
“Spain Starves Innocent Cubans”
Yellow Journalism is a form of media which is exaggerated and written to create an emotional reaction to the news story.
Yellow Journalism became a popular form of media during the late 19th century. It was especially used through the build up and during the Spanish-American War. Headlines, like the one above, creates an emotional response from the reader and the attention grabbing would sell newspapers. People would view the Cubans as victims, the Spanish as evil and support the war effort against the Spanish.
