Read the passage from The American Plague.

All along the way Jefferson chafed at the jump in prices brought about by "harpies who prey upon travelers" returning to Philadelphia. Inns on the route had upped their rates; ferrymen were charging extra to transport people and carriages across rivers. In the end, Jefferson estimated that it cost him nearly eighty dollars just to get to Germantown.

What was the cause of the jump in prices?

the cost of ferry boats
the yellow fever outbreak
the number of people traveling
the amount of heat, rain, and dust

Answers

Answer 1
The answer is the yellow fever outbreak
Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is the yellow fever outbreak!

Explanation:

The number of people traveling leads to the jump in ferry boat prices, but the reason behind people traveling is the heat, rain, and dust which leads to the yellow fever outbreak which is the main cause. So, because of the yellow fever outbreak people are traveling, prices rise, and in result the fever spreads. Hope this makes sense.

D. We are grateful to live in Mexico, where is outlawed

Answers

First things first slaves were not a thing so now thats out so we now have ABD so we can also cross out a and b so that leaves d So your answer would be D

A Texian would have made the statement If Mexico wont let us keep our slaves, we will become independent. Thus, option C is correct.

What was Mexican rule?

Both the Anglo and Tejano population of Texas has greatly increased by the 1830s. Even though they were granted Mexican citizenship, many settlers still had strong tie to the United States.

The US and Mexico's conflicts and mistrust grew as a result of Texas. The Mexican government, which was embroiled in civil conflict, fought valiantly to keep its hold on the area. War appeared inevitable to the settlers after numerous encounters with Mexican soldiers and a failed attempt to establish a separate Mexican state. The Mexican state government's relationship with the settlers in Texas drastically worsened in 1834-35 as President Santa Anna abandoned.

Therefore, we can conclude that option C is correct.

The partial excerpt is from a speech by union leader Bill Haywood in 1905.

"The aims and objects of this organization shall be to put the working class in possession of the economic power, the means of life, in control of the machinery of production and distribution, without regard to capitalist masters.”


–Bill Haywood, 1905

Based on the excerpt, which describes Haywood’s primary goal for the Industrial Workers of the World?

He sought to protect businesses by putting them in charge of all decisions.
He wanted to protect the working class by giving them more power.
He promoted capitalism to boost the quality of life for the working class.
He felt government would do a better job supporting the working class.

Answers

Answer:

B: He wanted to protect the working class by giving them more power.

Explanation:

"The aims and objects of this organization shall be to put the working class in possession of the economic power, the means of life, in control of the machinery of production and distribution, without regard to capitalist masters.”

Without any background information, it is time for me to analyze!

First off, Bill states that "the aims and objects of this organization shall be put to the working class.. of the economic power... without regard to capitalist masters." The specific line "without regard to capitalist masters" would lead me to eliminate the second to last choice.

I'm going to eliminate the last choice as well because I can't find any text evidence to support it.

Let's look at the first line- "The aims and objects of this organization... to put the working class in possession of the economic power... means of life [and] control of the machinery of production and distribution..." This excerpt supports the second option. While at first the first option may sound considerable, it says *businesses*, while Bill talks about the working class.

So that leads me to believe the answer is B: "He wanted to protect the working class by giving them more power."

b I think I hope it is good luck!

CHAPTER 7 MINNESOTA’S NEWCOMERS
Creative Enrichment
Packing a Farmer’s Wagon in 1858

A family’s decision to move to Minnesota was important. As they prepared for their trip, they had many questions. How would they travel there? What time of year was best for traveling? What would they bring?

For answers, they turned to immigrant guidebooks. They also read letters from friends or family who had already emigrated. In the end, though, settlers had to rely on their own judgment about what to bring.

Poor packing decisions could lead to serious problems in the first year, especially for farmers in remote areas. An overpacked wagon was costly and difficult to transport. Forgetting to pack an important item could also be disastrous.

Make a list.

Imagine you are part of an immigrant family moving to Minnesota in 1858.

Read through the list of possible items to pack in your wagon. Note how many points each item is worth. A higher number means an item is difficult to move or very valuable.

On a separate sheet of paper, list the items you choose to bring and describe why. Remember the following when packing for your move:

1. Your total points may not be more than 60.

2. You must give at least one reason for every item you bring.

3. You will be farming, so you will not be able to visit the town frequently. Your first trip to town will happen one month after you arrive.

4. You may bring more than one of each item, but you must add up all the points (for example, 1 pillow = 1 point; 2 pillows = 2 points).
