Answer:
They needed the money and the others needed help with the job
Explanation:
When the Civil War ended, the big question concerned the state of the freed slaves of the South. Recovery of the southern economy depended on getting the freedmen back into the cotton fields. During the period of Reconstruction the Radical Republicans in Congress tried to convert the freedmen into small free-holding farmers, but the former slaves were simply not ready to manage their own farms. What emerged out of necessity was southern farm tenancy, a system of near slavery without legal sanctions.
Instead of working in gangs as they had on antebellum plantations, the freedmen became tenants. The planter or landowner assigned each family a small tract of land to farm and provided food, shelter, clothing, and the necessary seeds and farm equipment. When the crop was harvested, the planter or landowner took the cotton to market and after deducting for the "furnish" (the cost of the items the tenant had been furnished during the year), gave half of the proceeds to the tenant. This arrangement became known as sharecropping.
In the decades after Reconstruction tenancy and sharecropping became the way of life in the Cotton Belt. By 1930 there were 1,831,470 tenant farmers in the South. What began as a device to get former slaves back to work became a pernicious system that entrapped white as well as black farmers. After 1900 the number of white tenant farmers grew alarmingly. By 1935 nearly half of white farmers and 77 percent of black farmers in the country were landless.
As farm tenancy grew, a tenancy ladder evolved. From the bottom rung, the hapless sharecropper could climb to share tenant if he could accumulate enough of his own equipment and money. Share tenants kept two-thirds or three-fourths of the crop, depending on how much they could furnish. If a share tenant progressed to a point of needing nothing but the land, he could become a cash tenant by paying a fixed rental. Cash tenants kept all of the proceeds from the crop.
Unfortunately, tens of thousands of farmers fell down the tenancy ladder rather than moving up it. Some farmers lost their farms or their status as cash or share tenants because of crop failures, low cotton prices, laziness, ill health, poor management, exhaustion of the soil, excessive interest rates, or inability to compete with tenant labor. Many tricks of nature (drought, flood, insects, frost, hail, high winds, and plant diseases) could ruin a crop.
Sharecropping and tenancy remained accepted as a normal part of southern life until the Great Depression. Then the realization took hold that the tenancy system desperately needed reform. However, the early New Deal's agricultural programs brought no change. Based on drastic acreage reduction and benefit payments that went mostly to landowners, in actuality the programs were a disaster for tenants and sharecroppers. When planters and landlords reduced their acreage in production by 40 or 50 percent, they reduced their tenants by the same amount.
Although there are similarities, the story of tenancy in Oklahoma does not fit the pattern of southern farm tenancy. The differences are dictated by the unusual history of the white settlement of Oklahoma. By 1880 the American agricultural frontier was ending. Indian Territory offered about the last frontier for good farmland. Indian rule prohibited white land ownership. Nor could Indians lease their land to outsiders, but they could employ whites to work their land. Under the subterfuge of being employees, a flood of white tenants came into the territory in the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s. By 1900 three-fourths of all tenant farmers in Oklahoma were white. Some of these early arrivals acquired ownership by purchase, connivance, or intermarriage, but a deadly combination of economic and natural forces kept most from climbing the agricultural ladder.
Between 1900 and 1910 the numbers of white tenants doubled. When the laws changed after statehood and non-Indians were allowed to buy land, tenancy slightly declined. However, in the adverse years of the 1920s, when agriculture suffered from low prices and overproduction, white tenancy rose again to nearly 70 percent. By 1935, with 119,615 white tenants, Oklahoma had the highest rate of white tenancy in the United States.
In the usual arrangement with share tenants in Oklahoma, the landlord received one-third of the grain crop and one-fourth of the cotton produced. The tenant had to provide most of the equipment, animals, and furnish. Realistically, farming forty or fifty acres on this basis was a prescription for poverty, especially when cotton prices plunged.

2 reasons why Alexander the great was so great was because he was a visionary, said Abernethy. His ability to dream, plan and strategize on a large scale allowed him to win many battles, even when he was outnumbered. Another reason why he was great was because he helped motivate his men, who knew they were part of one of the greatest conquests in history. Alexander spread Greek culture throughout the Persian Empire, including parts of Asia and Africa. Alexander encouraged his soldiers to marry Persian women, in this way, the children of these marriages would share. Alexander brought ideas from other cultures back to Greece by encouraging a blending of eastern and western cultures when he had married a persian woman and urged his soldiers to follow his example. From egypt to the borders of india, they built greek temples, filled them with greek statues, and held athletic contests as they had in greece.

Answer:
DRUG BAD BULLY BAD
Explanation:
As a child, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. attended segregated public schools. The law said that black students like King had to go to their own schools, separate from white students. King was a good student, and he graduated high school three years earlier than most people do. He went to college in Atlanta, Georgia. King then went on to study theology, the study of religious faith, at a school in Pennsylvania. This school was not segregated. In fact, King's senior class was mostly white, and he was elected president of it. King's education wasn't finished yet. In 1953, he got yet another degree from a school in Boston: a doctorate in theology. A doctorate is the highest degree that universities give out. This is why King is called "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr."

A
King graduated high school earlier than most people do.

The school in Pennsylvania where King studied theology was not segregated.
C
King was elected president of his mostly white senior class.
D
Throughout his life, King was educated at many schools, some of which were segregated.

Choose an article from the Onion, about which to write an analysis essay. 700 words
Answer:
The article exaggerates appeals to authority to satirize and ridicule the use of expert opinions to promote the objective quality of a product. One "expert" that is cited is Dr. Arthur Bluni, "the pseudoscientist who developed the product" (9-10). Dr. Bluni mocks the fake experts frequently used in advertisements to lure in consumers by appealing to authority instead of fact. His name itself, since it sounds like baloney, implies that his testimony is nonfactual . Furthermore, since Dr. Bluni is a pseudoscientist, he has no real scientific basis for his claims. Since he is the developer of the product, his views are naturally biased. However, his status as a doctor mocks how consumers flock to those with appealing titles. Further appealing to biased sources, the article cites "the product's Web site" for information on how "MagnaSoles utilize the healing power of crystals" to heal people (30-31). Obviously a product's own website cannot be a good indicator of its actual quality. Whatever information is on the website would need to be verified by other sources for the product advertised to be considered valid. However, by appealing to such an authority, the article mocks how real advertisements cite flawed sources use those sources as vehicles to manipulate their product. The claim that a product uses "the healing power of crystals" demands sufficient proof that a biased source simply cannot provide. By using such a source, the article mocks how advertisements can disguise their products behind the credibility of false authorities. The article further cites "Dr. Wayne Frankel, the California State University biotrician who discovered Terranomtry," a pseudoscience that attempts to find correlation between the frequency of feet and the frequency of the Earth (41-43). Here, more expert testimonials are used in order to hide the real product and sell a notable name instead. Appeal to authority is sometimes acceptable, but this article mocks the use of false appeal to authority. Appeal to a "biotrician" who discovers a pseudoscience is flawed since there needs to be real scientists and real science in order to verify the quality of products. With regards to real advertising, the article mocks marketing schemes that use false authorities without credentials to make bad products look good. This exaggerated appeal to authority and credibility used by The Onion article elucidates how many real advertising strategies revolve around manipulating a product behind the masks of false authorities and biased sources.

As part of the blueprint for checks and balances, the United States Constitution outlines a procedure for Congress to impeach and remove public officials, including the president of the United States. Develop an argument on whether the congressional procedure outlined in the Constitution for impeachment and removal an effective check on the president, too weak a check on the president, or too strong a check on the president
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
In the United States political system, it is true that Congress or the legislative branch as part of the blueprint for checks and balances has the power to impeach and remove public officials, including the President of the United States, as has been the case with Andrew Johnson, Bill Gates, and Donald Trump.
This congressional procedure outlined in the Constitution for impeachment and removal is an effective check on the president, however, the procedure has its complexities because it requires both chambers -Senate and House of Representatives- to vote and decide about the future of the President.
The US Constitution authorizes Congress to impeach the President basically for the following reasons: bribery, high crimes, and treason.
The problems start with those definitions and the legal terms used by lawyers to accuse and defend. Then, the vote on the House of Representatives and if it passes, it has to go to the Senate. In the Senate, it is needed two-thirds or more have to vote to convict the President.
In US history, both impeached Presidents -Johson in 1968 and Bill Clinton in 1988- have been acquitted.

Explanation:
It gave too much power to the states and it did not allow Congress to issue currency explaining why the Articles of Confederation were considered weak. Thus, options A and D are correct.
The Continental Congress approved the Articles of Confederation on November 15, 1777. This text functioned as the first constitution of the United States. It lasted from March 1, 1781, until the current Constitution took effect in 1789.
On June 11, 1776, the Second Continental Congress established three committees in response to the Lee Resolution's call for the American colonies to declare their own independence. The responsibility of deciding the structure of the confederation of the colonies was assigned to one of the committees. There was one delegate from each colony on this committee. The main author was John Dickinson, a Delaware delegate.
The Articles of Confederation's Dickinson Draft referred to the union as "the United States of America." The Second Continental Congress adopted this after much discussion and rewriting.
