Describe the obstacles that stood in the way of economic and political equality for southern blacks in the late 19th century.
Both legal and societal obstacles prevented southern blacks from gaining political and economic equality in the late 19th century. In 1896, the Supreme Court iallowed "separate but equal" facilities for blacks and whites; thus, the legal construction of separate schools and other facilities was allowed. In spite of the fact that black schools were supposed to be equal to those of whites, they actually were underfunded and inferior to those of whites. Blacks did not have access to quality education.
Moreover, blacks were not allowed to vote, through measures such as poll taxes and literacy tests. Blacks also did not have the means to improve their lot economically, due to the fact that they were employed as domestics (maids) or sharecroppers

What unfortunate event inspired Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton to plan a women's rights convention?
Answer: At the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840, women in attendance were segregated from men and were not allowed full access to the proceedings. Mott and Cady Stanton left the convention because of that rule, and decided they would form a society and plan a convention to promote women's rights.
More details:
Attending the 1840 abolitionist convention in London was when Elizabeth Cady Stanton first met. They both had been sent as official delegates to the convention, representing groups in America. But when they arrived and were told that women would not have full participation and should rely on men to speak for them, they left. As Cady Stanton remembered it, she and Mott "walked arm in arm, commenting on the incidents of the day," and "resolved to hold a convention as soon as we returned home, and form a society to advocate the rights of women" (quoted in New York Historical Society resource page, 2017).
The convention that was planned by Mott and Cady Stanton took place in 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. It was the first women's rights convention to be held in the United States, and was organized by women. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was lead author of an important document issued by what we now call the "Seneca Falls Convention." The Declaration of Sentiments was signed by 68 women and 32 men who had been among the participants in the convention. The document was modeled after Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. In the way that Jefferson had listed grievances against the British monarchy, the Declaration of Sentiments listed grievances against how man had oppressed woman in regard to civil rights.

At an 1840 anti-slavery meeting, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were frustrated by the limited participation allowed to women. This led them to organize the 1848 Women's Rights Convention, where they drafted the Declaration of Sentiments advocating for women's equal rights.
Explanation:The event that inspired Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton to plan a women's rights convention was an 1840 anti-slavery meeting held in London. At this meeting, they were shocked that women were not allowed to participate and had to sit separately from the men. After this experience, Stanton and Mott felt driven to call the first ever Women's Rights Convention in 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York.
The culmination of this convention was the creation of the Declaration of Sentiments - modeled after the Declaration of Independence - which stated women were equal to men and deserved the same rights, including suffrage. Despite opposition suggesting the movement was radical, the Declaration largely passed, demonstrating early advocacy for the rights of women.

To the Almighty Emperor of China:
I write to you as an imperial adviser in order to suggest to you to maintain the policies of commercial isolation that you have been carrying out against neighboring kingdoms.
As a first argument, I must tell you that we are in the middle of a political crisis, and it wouldn't be strange if it leads to a war. For this reason, nothing more accurate than isolate the economies of the potential enemies of the Empire.
In addition, the destination of goods for sale abroad has conditioned the supply within the country. We must take care of our people, offering more quantity of goods at a lower price, as established by the law of supply and demand.
Finally, I must emphasize that our economy is much more developed than that of neighboring kingdoms, so our commercial policy is not much more than an act of charity and solidarity. But at these times of crisis and tension, the only possible solidarity is respect to our people and our Empire.
For these reasons I consider maintaining and deepening the isolation policies will be the best option.
Long live to our Emperor.

This studio had no particular genre strength but started some of the era's most noted filmmakers including Welles and Disney: rko
The correct answer is RKO Pictures. In the period 1930-1945: this studio had no particular genre strength but started some of the era s most noted filmmakers such as orson welles and walt disney: RKO Pictures.
During the period from 1930 to 1945, RKO Pictures was known for its role in launching the careers of notable filmmakers rather than specializing in a specific genre. RKO Pictures gave first opportunities to many influential directors, including Orson Welles, who directed "Citizen Kane" (1941), often cited as one of the greatest films ever made. Additionally, RKO distributed the early animated features produced by Walt Disney, such as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937), which was a groundbreaking film in the animation industry.
While other studios like MGM, Warner Bros., and Universal were known for their distinctive genres and styles during this era, RKO was unique in its willingness to take risks on new talent and innovative projects. This approach led to a diverse range of films and helped to establish the studio's reputation as a place where creativity and experimentation were encouraged.
RKO's legacy is also tied to the film noir genre, with several classic noir films produced during the 1940s, including "Stranger on the Third Floor" (1940), which is considered by some to be the first true film noir. Despite its financial ups and downs, RKO Pictures left an indelible mark on the history of cinema through its support of visionary filmmakers and its role in the evolution of American film.
The complete question is- In the period 1930-1945: this studio had no particular genre strength but started some of the era s most noted filmmakers such as orson welles and walt disney: ________.
6. The average copper ore mined in 1900 was five percent copper by weight. Copper ore mined in 1990 was approximately 0.5 percent copper by weight. What factors could account for this difference?"
The volume of miners and industries using copper in the 20th century presented an exponential growth. Mining tends to extract the highest grade resources first, once they are the most profitable. With the intense activity achieved during the last century, the higher grade non renewable sources were quickly depleted, forcing the industry to start exploring lower grades sources to satisfy the demand.
It is also noteworthy that mining copper of higher quality causes more damage to the environment, having its protocols and restrictions consequently addressed by the legislation. Therefore the costs of mining 5% copper might be outweighed by a higher margin of profit from 0.5% copper which also is less damaging to the environment.
The copper content of mined ores decreased from 1900 to 1990 due to the depletion of high-grade sources, advancements in mining technology making lower-grade ores economically viable, and changing perceptions about the environmental impact of mining.
Explanation:The difference in copper ore contents between 1900 and 1990 may be attributed to several factors. First, the easiest sources of ore, often with the highest copper content, were likely exploited first in the earlier part of the 20th century. As these were depleted, mining companies had to turn to sources with lower-grade ore.
Secondly, with advancements in mining technology and ore processing techniques, it became economically viable to mine lower-grade ores which would have been ignored earlier. Furthermore, the environmental impact of mining is another concern, which has made deposits previously deemed too harmful to mine more attractive as they are likely less environmentally destructive due to their low concentration of copper.

Why is it relatively easy for firms to enter and leave a monopolistically competitive market?
A monopolistically competitive market is, by definition, constituted by a large number of firms that compete producing diferenced versions of a product. Such companies are not price-takers and they hold certain degree of power market and of control over the pricing decisions.
However, in a market that comprises so many actors in its supply side, the market power is splitted in many small units and the amount exercised by each is not very strong. Firms operating in this market structure do not have enough power to affect their rivals through their internal decisions and also not enough power to affect potential competitors and to prevent their entrance. They cannot set entry barriers to prevent the entrance of new companies in the market.
