Read the following interview from a man named Harry Reece from 1938. Harry Reece grew up on a farm and is describing his first t

rip to the city of Chicago as a young boy. He was excited and amazed by what he saw.
Give two examples of Industrial Revolution advancements that Mr. Reece saw as improvements to life.

Respond in at least three to five complete sentences.

"I was born in the middle west. . . . We lived on a farm, and even telephones were curiosities to myself and the country boys of my age. Electric lights were something to marvel at . . . the old Edison phonograph with its wax cylinder records and earphones was positively ghostly . . . and trolley cars, well they too were past understanding!

"Speaking of trolley cars reminds me of a trip to the 'city' once when I was about a dozen years old. My father and a neighbor, Old Uncle Bill Brandon, had to go up to the Big Town, which was Chicago, on some sort of business . . . and I suppose I’d been extra diligent at doing chores, weeding potatoes, killing worms on the tomato plants, or something . . . and Father rewarded me by taking me along. . . .

"You can imagine what a time I had seeing things I’d never seen before, in fact had only dreamed about or heard about. Curiosity wasn’t the name for it. Speechless [incredulity] came nearer describing my emotions. . . . But when I saw my first trolley car slipping along Cottage Grove Avenue in Chicago. . . slipping along without horses or engine or apparent motive power . . . well it was just too darned much for me. I didn’t know what to think."

What did it mean to lose property in colonial america?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

In colonial America, losing property is essentially the same as losing their rights as well as their citizenship. To be a citizen AND be able to vote, one had to be a land-owning, white male. Females, non-land owning white males, and any other coloured people were not allowed to vote during this time period.

Give two reasons the United States refused to annexation the Republic of Texas.<br> 1.<br> 2.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The issue of slavery in the southern states, and the fear of a war starting with Mexico were two reasons.

Explanation:

Martin Van Buren did not want to upset either the Northerners or Southerners by admitting Texas into the Union, because then the decision would have to be made about whether to allow slavery in Texas which would throw off the balance of slave and free states. Also, Van Buren worried that Mexico would declare war if Texas was taken from them.
