Name a Robber baron and tell me why they were called that?
Answer:
Many so-called robber barons—James J. Hill, Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller—became wealthy entrepreneurs through product innovation and business efficiency. Of the goods and services they provided, supply grew, and prices fell rapidly, greatly boosting Americans’ standards of living. This is the opposite of monopolistic behavior.
A robber baron is one of America’s successful industrialists during the 19th century, which was also known as the Gilded Age. A robber baron is a term that is also sometimes attributed to any successful businessperson whose practices are considered unethical or unscrupulous.* This behavior can include employee or environmental abuse, stock market manipulation, or deliberately restricting output to charge higher prices.
*The unscrupulous person is without scruples of conscience, and disregards, or has contempt for, laws of right or justice with which he or she is perfectly well acquainted, and which should restrain his or her actions: unscrupulous in methods of making money, in taking advantage of the unfortunate.

•France
Answer: Saint-Domingue, or present day Haiti.
Explanation :
Present-day Louisiana was once part of New Spain. The coat of arms that you see pictured here is from the province of Louisiana in New Spain. The first Acadians arrived in the Spanish colony of Louisiana in 1765. They migrated from Saint-Domingue, which is present-day Haiti.

biography introduction for frederick douglass
Answer:
Frederick Douglass will remain one of the most important figures in America's struggle for civil rights and racial equality for eternity. His influence can be seen in the politics and writings of almost all major African-American writers, Douglass, however, is an inspiration to more than just African Americans. He spoke out against oppression throughout America and abroad, and his struggle for freedom, self-discovery, and identity stands as a testament for all time, for all people. Born into slavery around 1818, he eventually escaped and became a respected American diplomat, a counselor to four presidents, a highly regarded public speaker, and an influential writer. He accomplished all of these feats without any formal education.

.People cannot be sold or denied.
Only Legislatures
or the law of the land can determine the consequences of one's actions.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. to prevent the king from having the power to abuse rights and inflict injustices.
Explanation:
The nobles hoped to accomplish this by having King John sign the Magna Carta. The document was written by a group of 13th-century barons to protect their rights and property against a tyrannical king. It was concerned with many practical matters and specific grievances relevant to the feudal system under which they lived. The interests of the common man were hardly apparent in the minds of the men who brokered the agreement. But there are two principles expressed in Magna Carta that resonate to this day: “No freeman shall be taken, imprisoned, disseised, outlawed, banished, or in any way destroyed, nor will We proceed against or prosecute him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land” and "To no one will We sell, to no one will We deny or delay, right or justice".
