Answer 1

Correct answer is C)

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) many small children were sold into slavery.

All of the following were results of the agrarian crisis in the Northeastern US in the early 19th century, excerpt "many small children were sold into slavery."

During those years, farmers in America faced tough economic problems. Many farmers in the region were about to lose their properties because they couldn't pay their mortgages. Banks charged elevated interests and it made difficult for farmers to repay their debts. Falling prices affected their crops and another problem was that railroads charged them too much for transportation. Many farmers lost their farms, others moved to the Western territories, and many more decided to work in the textile fabrics.
