Explain what Crocket means when he says, "Rome wasn't built in a day"? -Everything takes time and it will take a while for us to build it. Also not to give up on our government because it takes too long to start it up.

Who is the line, "The government has set the example in his attack upon the constitution of the United States, and who should fear to follow where 'the Government' leads?" directed to? -The first part means that 'the Government' made the Constitution, of the United States. Who should fear where 'the Government' leads is the 'the Government' because they are the ones setting it up. They are the leaders.

What could be called the most difficult line to understand? -In paragraph six when the line, "None but a fool would place his candle under a bushel on such an occasion." At first I didn't get it at all. Then I kept rereading it and now I see what it means. It means that no one, but a fool would hide, and not spend their money at a charity. This would help rise how well their liked.

Do you think it was kind of him to write these helpful hints? -I do because it's like a book that is titled "How not to look dumb." He gives easy instructions on how to be number one in an election in the government.

With Texas saying "Come and take it"
===  === and their roles in theat this time. How is it the same or different compared to our lives today? because they had to work at the factories. They had to tie back there hair and the air was contaminated. Some jobs were harder than others and the girls never knew where they would end up because peopel were always needed at different places. One place a woman would be found working at is a thread factory. A woman could straighten the thread before it enters the machine. This could harmfully injure or kill the woman. A woman was expected to work a 12 hour job ,take care of the children(if any), cook, and even clean the house. She would earn a small salarey compared to how hard she worked. A big difference between now and then is that we are stuck in school for around 7 hours while women of this time worked 12 hours of their days away. || What did the Industrial Revolution do to the government? How? and it gave people jobs but some of the people were children. But they got paided very little.The children could not go into politics because they were always working. Politicans didn't care about safty because they were trying to make the country bigger. The government I would say practically turned their back on the workers in this time because they didn't help ouut with safety first while people were working. Plus children had to work just to help their families pay the taxes and buy what is needed. || What did the revoution for the economy? People hardly earned enough money for the things that they wanted so they just bought the things they would need. Like clothing and food. They needed clothing because they had to have protection from the cold. Food was a big thing and most were not picky when it came to it. || Does this mean that all slave owners were mean? Example There were poor living conditions for slaves and were housed in cabins. In the cabin there were little furniture and leeky rooves. Their clothes were made chea unlike the people who owned them.Slaves sometimes were allowed to make their own garden. Slaves that worked for planters had better living conditions than other slaves. Most slave owners used puniments for slaves that did not obey. The Slave codes were passed to help slaves from being too out of controll. The Literacy Law made anyone who taught a slave how to write or read get a punishment if caught. || Did the veiws of polititions center around having slaves. If they had slaves did that signal power? Yes it did signal power because writers would write about how people with large plantations and that had a lot of slaves were rich and had "Good Southern hospitallity." The planter had a powerful influence over the South. This means that the more slaves you had th higher you were in the charts. Many were political leaders that owned the slaves so most would probably veiw in the way of owning slaves. Slaves would most likely be affected in how they were punished because their owners were high up in the food chain. || How did slaves help the southern economy? Did it grow or shrink when cotton was found? Slaves were a big help with the economy. They made everything easy for a Southerner. Each society contributed to the economy and its' succes. That would tell us that the economy did get better after slaves came. More things were being made after they came but it was hard to predict what would be higher or lower the next day. Most of a slaves life was spent on a plantation of some kind, if they were put outside they spent more than half of their day outside worki. That had to have it's effects on the economy. ||
