C) The republican system of political economy created by state governments by 1820,whereby states funneled aid to private businesses whose projects would improve the general welfare. 
D) The dramatic increase between 1820 and 1850 in the exchange of goods and services in market transactions.This shift reflected the increased output of farms (including cotton plantations)and factories,the entrepreneurial activities of traders and merchants,and the creation of a transportation network of roads,canals,and railroads.

P)Cutting,boring,and drilling machines used to produce standardized metal parts,which were then assembled into products such as textile looms and sewing machines.The rapid development of these instruments by American inventors in the early nineteenth century was a factor in the rapid spread of industrialization.
Q)An ideology that celebrated small-scale producers,men and women who owned their own shops (or farms).It defined the ideal republican society as one constituted by,and dedicated to the welfare of,independent workers and citizens.
R)Organizations of workers that began during the Industrial Revolution to bargain with employers over wages,hours,benefits,and control of the workplace.
S)The belief that human labor produces economic value.Adherents argued that the price of a product should be determined not by the market (supply and demand)but by the amount of work required to make it,and that most of the price should be paid to the person who produced it.
T)A system of work discipline used on southern cotton plantations in the mid-nineteenth century in which white overseers or black drivers supervised gangs of enslaved laborers to achieve greater productivity.
U)An economic group of prosperous farmers,artisans,and traders that emerged in the early nineteenth century.Its rise reflected a dramatic increase in prosperity.This surge in income,along with an abundance of inexpensive mass-produced goods,fostered a distinct urban culture.

Question 12

For this question,refer to the following excerpt.

The Senator from New York [William Seward] said yesterday that the whole world had abolished slavery.Aye,the name,but not the thing;...for the man who lives by daily labor,and scarcely lives at that,and who has to put out his labor in the market,and take the best he can get for it;in short,your whole hireling class of manual laborers and "operatives," as you call them,are essentially slaves.The difference between us is,that our slaves are hired for life and well compensated;there is no starvation,no begging,no want of employment among our people,and not too much employment either.Yours are hired by the day,not cared for,and scantily compensated,which may be proved in the most painful manner,at any hour in any street in any of your large towns....

Question 14

For this question,refer to the following excerpt. In all social systems there must be a class to do the menial duties,to perform the drudgery of life....Such a class you must have,or you would not have that other class which leads progress,civilization,and refinement.It constitutes the very mud-sill of society and of political government....Fortunately for the South,she found a race adapted to that purpose to her hand.A race inferior to her own,but eminently qualified in temper,in vigor,in docility,in capacity to stand the climate,to answer all her purposes.We use them for our purpose,and call them slaves....
The Senator from New York [William Seward] said yesterday that the whole world had abolished slavery.Aye,the name,but not the thing;...for the man who lives by daily labor,and scarcely lives at that,and who has to put out his labor in the market,and take the best he can get for it;in short,your whole hireling class of manual laborers and "operatives," as you call them,are essentially slaves.The difference between us is,that our slaves are hired for life and well compensated;there is no starvation,no begging,no want of employment among our people,and not too much employment either.Yours are hired by the day,not cared for,and scantily compensated,which may be proved in the most painful manner,at any hour in any street in any of your large towns....
South Carolina Senator James Henry Hammond,Speech to the Senate,March 4,1858
