Question

Accepted Answer

### Question 25
# Brief Explanations:
1. **Market Expansion**: Increasing supply can help capture a larger market share, attracting new customers.
2. **Economies of Scale**: Larger production/supply reduces per - unit costs (e.g., bulk purchasing, efficient production), increasing profit margins.
3. **Competitive Advantage**: Out - supplying competitors can drive them out or force them to lower prices, establishing market dominance.
4. **Meeting Demand Fluctuations**: Anticipating future demand growth (e.g., seasonal, trend - based) ensures product availability, preventing competitors from filling the gap.
5. **Innovation and Growth**: Investing in supply expansion (e.g., new technology, facilities) fosters innovation and long - term business growth.
# Answer:
Reasons include market expansion, economies of scale, competitive advantage, meeting demand fluctuations, and fostering innovation/growth.

### Question 26
# Brief Explanations:
- The hate against Leo Frank was antisemitism (prejudice against Jews).

- **Cuba**: Georgia is north of Cuba (Cuba is in the Caribbean, Georgia is on the North American mainland, north of Cuba’s latitude).
- **Canada**: Georgia is south of Canada (Canada is in northern North America, Georgia is in the southern U.S., so south of Canada).
# Answer:

### Question 28
# Brief Explanations:

# Answer:
The 14th Amendment

### Question 29
# Brief Explanations:
The cotton gin (invented by Eli Whitney in 1793) revolutionized cotton production. It efficiently removed seeds from cotton fibers, making cotton farming more profitable. This led to an expansion of cotton plantations, increased demand for slave labor, and a surge in cotton production from 1790 - 1834.
# Answer:
The invention of the cotton gin (Eli Whitney, 1793) made cotton production more efficient and profitable, leading to expanded plantations and increased production.

### Question 30

# Answer:
200 acres (with 50 additional acres per dependent/enslaved person)

### Question 31
# Brief Explanations:
Civil rights leaders criticized Booker T. Washington for his “Atlanta Compromise” stance. He advocated for Black economic self - improvement (vocational education) over immediate political/social equality (e.g., voting rights, desegregation). Leaders like W.E.B. Du Bois believed this accommodated white supremacy and delayed full civil rights.
# Answer:
He was criticized for advocating economic self - improvement over immediate political/social equality (accommodating white supremacy via the “Atlanta Compromise”).

### Question 32
# Brief Explanations:
After the Civil War, the federal government required Southern states to ratify the 13th (abolished slavery), 14th (equal protection), and 15th (Black male suffrage) Amendments as part of Reconstruction. This was to re - admit states to the Union, ensure civil rights for formerly enslaved people, and establish a new social order.
# Answer:
To be readmitted to the Union during Reconstruction and ensure civil rights for formerly enslaved people.

### Question 33
# Brief Explanations:
President Roosevelt’s time in Georgia (e.g., visits to Warm Springs for polio treatment) exposed him to the South’s poverty, rural distress, and economic inequality. This influenced his New Deal policies (e.g., agricultural reform, rural electrification, social welfare programs) to address national economic hardships, especially in rural areas like Georgia.
# Answer:
Exposure to rural poverty and economic distress in Georgia influenced New Deal policies (e.g., agricultural, rural welfare reforms).

### Question 34
# Brief Explanations:
In the mid - 17th century, Indian (Native American) populations were decimated by:
- **Disease**: European - brought diseases (e.g., smallpox, measles) to which Natives had no immunity, causing mass deaths.
- **Colonial Conflict**: Wars with European colonists (e.g., Anglo - Powhatan Wars, Pequot War) over land and resources, leading to killings and displacement.
- **Enslavement**: Forced labor and enslavement by colonists, causing death from abuse, malnutrition, and disease.
- **Forced Assimilation/Displacement**: Loss of traditional lands and ways of life, leading to social collapse and death.
# Answer:
Disease (European - introduced), colonial conflict, enslavement, and forced displacement/assimilation.

### Question 35
# Brief Explanations:
Lincoln’s 10 percent plan (Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction) stated that a Southern state could be readmitted to the Union when 10% of its 1860 voting population (loyal to the Union) took an oath of allegiance and established a new state government abolishing slavery. It was a lenient Reconstruction plan.
# Answer:
A Southern state could rejoin the Union when 10% of its 1860 voters (loyal to the Union) took an oath of allegiance and formed a government abolishing slavery.

### Question 36
# Brief Explanations:
- **After the French and Indian War (1763)**:
  - France lost most of its North American territory. Britain gained Canada and all French land east of the Mississippi River. Spain gained French land west of the Mississippi (Louisiana Territory).
  - The map showed British dominance in eastern North America, Spanish control in the west/south, and France’s presence reduced to small Caribbean islands.
  - Reason: The Treaty of Paris (1763) ended the war, redistributing colonial territories.
# Answer:
After the war, Britain gained Canada and French land east of the Mississippi; Spain got west of the Mississippi. Reason: Treaty of Paris (1763) redistributed territories.

### Question 37
# Brief Explanations:
- **Vulnerability of Single - Crop (Cotton) Economy**:
  - **Price Volatility**: Dependent on global cotton prices, which fluctuated (e.g., overproduction led to price drops).
  - **Lack of Diversification**: No other major industries/crops, so economic collapse if cotton failed (e.g., boll weevil infestations, droughts).
  - **Dependence on Slavery/Labor**: Reliance on slave labor (pre - Civil War) and later sharecropping led to social and economic inequality, limiting growth.
  - **External Shocks**: Vulnerable to international market changes (e.g., new cotton - producing regions, trade restrictions).
- **Effects on the Economy**:
  - **Boom - Bust Cycles**: Periods of prosperity (high cotton prices) followed by depression (low prices), causing instability.
  - **Poverty and Inequality**: Most wealth concentrated in plantation owners’ hands; poor farmers/sharecroppers struggled.
  - **Lack of Industrialization**: Money from cotton was reinvested in more land/slaves, not industry, hindering long - term growth.
# Answer:
Vulnerability: price volatility, lack of diversification, labor dependence, external shocks. Effects: boom - bust cycles, poverty/inequality, lack of industrialization.
