Which statements accurately describe the extremes of poverty, wealth, and opportunity in the united states in the late 1800s?
choose all answers that are correct.
a.
most city dwellers were very rich and farmers were very poor.
b.
women and people of color demanded to be treated as full citizens—and hardly anyone paid attention.
c.
some americans joined unions and got involved in politics, while others joined churches or other social groups.
d.
most immigrants shared in the prosperity of the times and became middle-class consumers.

nativists tried to get rid of the immigrants as they thought they were going to ruin the u.s.  

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
