History
1 answer:
Ipatiy [6.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

A. They feared competition with a formerly enslaved population over land and social status.

Explanation:

Poor whites and rich whites had one thing in common- their race. The fact that despite their social status, they all belonged to the same race, and they shared the ideology of white supremacy, made the poor whites support the institution of slavery so that the blacks could remain below them. They also feared that black slaves could gain their voice and power and begin competing with them for their lands and social status.

The poor whites who did not own slaves ensured that black slaves did not escape from their masters. They also participated in other civil duties in the society such as voting.

Promotion within napoleon new bureaucracy was
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

based on ability only, not rank or birth

Explanation:

Napoleon Bonaparte was a prominent military leader during the <em>"French Revolution."</em> He reformed the French "bureaucracy" under his leadership by<u> appointing the members according to their abilities and not by rank or birth</u>. This allowed the citizens to have more equal opportunities of being chosen. So, this means that <em>even the </em><em>middle class</em><em> were given the chance to be appointed. </em>

Under his leadership, a new kind of aristocracy was made. This was based on "merit in the state service." So, this gave the <u>people in the military</u> and <u>people who hold upper ranks in the civil service</u> to become part of the noble class.

So, this explains the answer.
