The Second Industrial Revolution was lucrative for the business owners of the Gilded Age. As titans of business like Cornelius V

anderbilt and JP Morgan amassed a fortune, residents of cities worked long hours in terrible working conditions for low wages. With the institution of mass production and assembly line business practices, factories grew rapidly. These factories were staffed not only by men and women, but also relied on child labor. Though opportunities for African Americans existed, factory work was still segregated. Labor unions were formed to fight back on behalf of workers, but many businesses were monopolies. With little competition, business owners had the power to set wages and working hours with no input from workers or unions. This left most workers poor and overloaded, living in crowded and unsanitary tenements around America’s largest cities. The divide between rich and poor grew in both wealth and distance. As elevated railroads and subway systems were built, the rich moved farther away to wealthy neighborhoods or suburbs and only came to the city center during working hours.
With which of the following statements would a labor union leader in the Gilded Age most likely agree?

A
Business owners built their business from the ground up, so they should have final say over worker pay.

B
Inequality is not an important issue. What really matters is building more subway systems.

C
It is the responsibility of a business owner to ensure the safety and fair treatment of their workers.

D
Tenements are dirty and crowded because workers do not take enough responsibility for their actions.

How did the French, Spanish, and Italians react to Juarez's decision to prolong paying off the national debt? (Cinco de Mayo)
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

As a reaction to Juarez's decision to prolong paying off the national debt, France, Spain and Italy sent military forces to Mexico in order to force the payment, which ended up unleashing the Battle of Puebla, remembered in Mexican historiography as Cinco de Mayo.

Explanation:

Cinco de Mayo is a regional holiday in Mexico that is mainly celebrated in the state of Puebla. The day is celebrated to remember the first victory the Mexican forces won, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, over the French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

In 1861, Mexico had stopped making interest payments on loans raised by the state. This caused France and other European countries to attack Mexico in late 1861 to try to force the country to continue making interest payments. The French government decided to try to occupy Mexico. The first part of France's invasion was successful, but on May 5, 1862, in the city of Puebla, Mexican troops managed to fight back the French army's attack. In the battle of Puebla, the Mexican army was led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. Although the Mexican army won over France in Puebla, it only meant that the advance of the French troops was delayed to the capital Mexico City, which they occupied a year later, as well as other large parts of Mexico. The French occupation forces let Maximilian I, Emperor of Mexico, take Mexico's faith. The French were defeated in 1867 and then forced out of the country.

Which accurately describes apartheid? A. It was started by Nelson Mandela. B. It kept the majority white population in power in
MArishka [77]
Nelson Mandela helped end apartheid, so A is incorrect. B would be right, but the white population is the minority in South Africa, not the majority. It ended in 1991, so C is not right. This leaves us with D, the correct answer. I hope this helps!
