Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland in approximately 1818. After several unsuccessful attempts, Douglass escaped from slavery and eventually settled in Massachusetts. In 1845, he wrote his first autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, which had a profound influence on the movement to abolish slavery. Harriet Jacobs was born in North Carolina in 1813. Like Douglass, Jacobs was born into slavery. She eventually escaped and settled in New York. Also like Douglass, she wrote an autobiography, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, which revealed the horrors of life under slavery. Both Douglass and Jacobs went on to become vocal supporters of the antislavery movement. What is the main idea of the passage

Answers

Answer 1

I looked this question up and was able to find two answer options for it:

A. Douglass and Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experience as slaves.

B. Douglass and Jacobs both escaped from slavery in the 1800's.

Answer:

The main idea of the passage is:

A. Douglass and Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experience as slaves.

Explanation:

From the passage, we can safely infer that both Douglass and Jacobs escaped slavery in the 1800's taking into consideration the year they were born. However, that is not the focus of the paragraph. Notice how the author compares Douglass' and Jacobs' lives, focusing especially on the fact that they both wrote autobiographies and became supporters of the antislavery movement. This is the main idea of the passage: that Douglass and Jacobs become authors and that they described their own experience as slaves in their books.

WRITE ABOIT Idaho’s LAND PLZZZ IVE BEEN WAITING FOR 5 hours since 9 or more hours again Write a small paragraph about idahos land do not copy and paste the answer in safari THANKS

Answers

Answer:

Humans may have been present in the Idaho area as long as 14,500 years ago. Excavations at Wilson Butte Cave near Twin Falls in 1959 revealed evidence of human activity, including arrowheads, that rank among the oldest dated artifacts in North America. American Indian peoples predominant in the area included the Nez Percé in the north and the Northern and Western Shoshone in the south.

A Late Upper Paleolithic site was identified at Cooper's Ferry in western Idaho near the town of Cottonwood by archaeologists in 2019. Based on evidence found at the site, first people lived in this area 15,300 to 16,600 years ago, predating the Beringia land bridge by about a thousand years. The discoverers, anthropology professor Loren Davis and colleagues, emphasized that they possess similarities with tools and artifacts discovered in Japan that date from 16,000 to 13,000 years ago.[16][17][18][19][20] The discovery also showed that the first people might not have come to North America by land, as previously theorized. On the contrary, they probably came through the water, using a Pacific coastal road.[19]

The most parsimonious explanation we think is that people came down the Pacific Coast, and as they encountered the mouth of the Columbia River, they essentially found an off-ramp from this coastal migration and also found their first viable interior route to the areas that are south of the ice sheet.

An early presence of French-Canadian trappers is visible in names and toponyms: Nez Percé, Cœur d'Alène, Boisé, Payette, some preexisting the Lewis and Clark and Astorian expeditions which themselves included significant numbers of French and Métis guides recruited for their familiarity with the terrain.

Idaho, as part of the Oregon Country, was claimed by both the United States and Great Britain until the United States gained undisputed jurisdiction in 1846. From 1843 to 1849, present-day Idaho was under the de facto jurisdiction of the Provisional Government of Oregon. When Oregon became a state, what is now Idaho was in what remained of the original Oregon Territory not part of the new state, and designated as the Washington Territory.

Between then and the creation of the Idaho Territory on March 4, 1863, at Lewiston, parts of the present-day state were included in the Oregon, Washington, and Dakota Territories. The new territory included present-day Idaho, Montana, and most of Wyoming. The Lewis and Clark expedition crossed Idaho in 1805 on the way to the Pacific and in 1806 on the return, largely following the Clearwater River both directions. The first non-indigenous settlement was Kullyspell House, established on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille for fur trading in 1809 by David Thompson of the North West Company.[21][22] In 1812 Donald Mackenzie, working for the Pacific Fur Company at the time, established a post on the lower Clearwater River near present-day Lewiston. This post, known as "MacKenzie's Post" or "Clearwater", operated until the Pacific Fur Company was bought out by the North West Company in 1813, after which it was abandoned.[23][24] The first attempts at organized communities, within the present borders of Idaho, were established in 1860.[25][26] The first permanent, substantial incorporated community was Lewiston in 1861.

After some tribulation as a territory, including the chaotic transfer of the territorial capital from Lewiston to Boise,[27] disenfranchisement of Mormon polygamists upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1877,[28] and a federal attempt to split the territory between Washington Territory which gained statehood in 1889, a year before Idaho, and the state of Nevada which had been a state since 1864, Idaho achieved statehood in 1890.[29]

Idaho was one of the hardest hit of the Pacific Northwest states during the Great Depression.[30] Prices plummeted for Idaho's major crops: in 1932 a bushel of potatoes brought only ten cents compared to $1.51 in 1919, while Idaho farmers saw their annual income of $686 in 1929 drop to $250 by 1932.[31]

In recent years, Idaho has expanded its commercial base as a tourism and agricultural state to include science and technology industries. Science and technology have become the largest single economic center (over 25% of the state's total revenue) within the state and are greater than agriculture, forestry and mining combined.

Answers

Answer:

^^^^^^^^The use of blank verse makes the poem sound like everyday speech. Blank verse’s regular meter gives the poem a sense of structure and stability. If the poem had a rhyme scheme, it would not sound like people were talking normally. If the poem had a rhyme scheme, the rhyme might be distracting to the reader.

Which two statements best describe how Their Eyes Were Watching God supports Baldwin’s assertions about Black English?

Because Hurston uses American English in her novel only occasionally, she clearly feels that her people should be committed to their own language.
Hurston’s characters are sometimes hard to understand because of their language, so she is clearly hostile to white readers.
Hurston writes her characters’ dialogue in black English, conveying their accent, vocabulary, and speech patterns with painstaking accuracy.
By placing American English and black English side by side in her novel, Hurston seems to emphasize their nature as separate languages

Answers

Answer:

Because Hurston uses American English in her novel only occasionally, she clearly feels that her people should be committed to their own language.

By placing American English and black English side by side in her novel, Hurston seems to emphasize their nature as separate languages

Explanation:

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" is a book written by Zora Neale Hurston that discusses the racial and gender roles that are established in society.

In this book, Huston takes a stand in favor of a language known as Black English. It reinforces the idea that black English is a separate language from ordinary English and that it should be used by the black population more often, as this is part of the identity as an African American, and that blacks should be responsible for this language. This shows how Houston supports Baldwin's claims about the English language and the presence of blacks in that language.

Fren bought groceries that cost $14.40 .She paid the store clerk, Ping,with a $20 bill. Ping makes change by saying. 2 pennies make the total $14.40 . 6 dimes makes it $15.00 ,and 6 dollars makes it $20 .

Answers

Answer:

D. yes, ping should give five one dollar bills, not six

Explanation:

Given data is

Fren bought groceries.

The groceries cost = $14.40

She paid to ping (clerk) = $20

hence, the money should give by ping to fern is = $20 - $14.40 = $5.6

two pennies make the total of $14.40 which is true.

six dimes makes $15 this is also true.

six dollars makes $20 this is false.

Since $15 + $6 = $21 which is not equal to $20.
