Answer:
The arrival of Europeans in the New World in 1492 changed the Americas forever. Over the course of the next 350 years: Spain ruled a vast empire based on the labor and exploitation of the native population. Conquistadors descended on America with hopes of bringing Catholicism to new lands while extracting great riches.
Explanation:
Answer:
First, the Spaniards came across a group of hostile Indians who gave them food and shelter, but they overstayed their welcome. Next, they were stranded in a swamp, and killed their horses every 3 days for food, and they used the rest of the horse to make a raft. Their raft then fell apart killing many of the men at sea, and stranding the survivors. Some died from drinking sea water, and others died other unfortunate deaths. The natives on that island gave them food, but they were disgusted by the Spaniards because they ate the men who died. Many of the crew were taken in by the Natives as slaves, and 5 years later, de Vaca, and 3 of his men escaped from slavery, and had to walk all the way back to New Spain. 400 men left on that expedition, 4 came back.

What helped Lincoln decide to address the issue of slavery in the south ?
Answer:
On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. With it, he freed all slaves in Confederate or contested areas of the South. However, the Proclamation did not include slaves in non-Confederate border states and in parts of the Confederacy under Union control.
Explanation:
Answer:
C
Explanation:
He wanted to show the world that this war was about slavery and since the world had pretty much decided slavery was wrong already this would mean that no one could help the south. This was important because England relied on the South for much of its cotton and the Union was worried that this means that England would support them. If the Union had to fight against England as well they would surely lose.

How did Jim Crow Laws deny African American the rights given to them by the Reconstruction Amendments (13th, 14th, 15th)?
Answer:
Colored Water Fountain
The effort to protect the rights of blacks under Reconstruction was largely crushed by a series of oppressive laws and tactics called Jim Crow and the black codes. Here, an African-American man drinks from a water fountain marked "colored" at a streetcar terminal in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1939.
Explanation:
Black codes and Jim Crow laws were laws passed at different periods in the southern United States to enforce racial segregation and curtail the power of black voters.
After the Civil War ended in 1865, some states passed black codes that severely limited the rights of black people, many of whom had been enslaved. These codes limited what jobs African Americans could hold, and their ability to leave a job once hired. Some states also restricted the kind of property black people could own. The Reconstruction Act of 1867 weakened the effect of the black codes by requiring all states to uphold equal protection under the 14th Amendment, particularly by enabling black men to vote. (U.S. law prevented women of any race from voting in federal elections until 1920.)
During Reconstruction, many black men participated in politics by voting and by holding office. Reconstruction officially ended in 1877, and southern states then enacted more discriminatory laws. Efforts to enforce white supremacy by legislation increased, and African Americans tried to assert their rights through legal challenges. However, this effort led to a disappointing result in 1896, when the Supreme Court ruled, in Plessy v. Ferguson, that so-called “separate but equal” facilities—including public transport and schools—were constitutional. From this time until the Civil Rights Act of 1964, discrimination and segregation were legal and enforceable.
One of the first reactions against Reconstruction was to deprive African-American men of their voting rights. While the 14th and 15th Amendments prevented state legislatures from directly making it illegal to vote, they devised a number of indirect measures to disenfranchise black men. The grandfather clause said that a man could only vote if his ancestor had been a voter before 1867—but the ancestors of most African-Americans citizens had been enslaved and constitutionally ineligible to vote. Another discriminatory tactic was the literacy test, applied by a white county clerk. These clerks gave black voters extremely difficult legal documents to read as a test, while white men received an easy text. Finally, in many places, white local government officials simply prevented potential voters from registering. By 1940, the percentage of eligible African-American voters registered in the South was only three percent. As evidence of the decline, during Reconstruction, the percentage of African-American voting-age men registered to vote was more than 90 percent.
African Americans faced social, commercial, and legal discrimination. Theatres, hotels, and restaurants segregated them in inferior accommodations or refused to admit them at all. Shops served them last. In 1937, The Negro Motorist Green Book, a travel guide, was first published. It listed establishments where African-American travelers could expect to receive unprejudiced service. Segregated public schools meant generations of African-American children often received an education designed to be inferior to that of whites—with worn-out or outdated books, underpaid teachers, and lesser facilities and materials. In 1954, the Supreme Court declared discrimination in education unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, but it would take another 10 years for Congress to restore full civil rights to minorities, including protections for the right to vote.

The 19th amendment legally guarantees American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle—victory took decades of agitation and protest. Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Few early supporters lived to see final victory in 1920.

A)Label the three colonial geographical regions on the map.
B)Which geographic region seems to have the most land? Which region has the least amount of land?
C)How might this have impacted what kinds of settlements formed where? For example, which colonial region do you think would have more cities, which would have more rural areas? Why?)
Answer:
Check explanation.
Explanation:
A) I'm assuming you're talking about the British colonies (13 colonies). When describing these regions, there are three key words to know. The New England colonies, the Middle colonies, and the Southern colonies. If you need more elaboration, just comment.
B) The South probably seems like it had the most land. as it needed the land for slaves to work on plantations. This transition to slavery from indentured servants was primarily caused by Bacon's rebellion, in which indentured servants rose up against landowners. For more elaboration, look up Bacon's rebellion. When looking at the map, the Northern Colonies probably had the least amount of land as it did not have the plantations and the need for land was limited. This answer is elaborated on C.
C) The amount of land impacted what kinds of settlements formed, as seen from the colonists' perspective, more land means more farming land while less land is less suitable to farming but instead subsistence farming. The amount of land also impacted which colonial region would have more cities or more rural areas as less land means it would be in a sense more urban, while more widespread land would be more rural. The divide between the two regions would later be found in the American Civil War, in which the North had more industry and cities while the South was more widespread as it did not need the urban cities like the North. Contrary to the question though, I feel like the weather/climate played a much bigger role than the amount of land each region had.
What is Smith’s argument against restrictions on the free market? Do you agree with it? Why or why not?
Answer: Smith argued that by giving everyone freedom to produce and exchange goods as they pleased (free trade) and opening the markets up to domestic and foreign competition, people's natural self-interest would promote greater prosperity than with stringent government regulations.
A: Personally yes i do agree with him, the reason being is that with the trade restrictions your no allowed to trade what you want there taking freedom from you and that could ruin profit and progress on your business which will lead to failure in the long run.

Why is Article #11 in the Articles of Confederation not as important as the other articles?
Establishing both the means by which a new state could enter the "union" on equal footing, and an attempt for military security, Article 11 specifically targets one issue in a way that no other article does. Annexing Canada and formally absorbing it into the folds of the United States would have increased the power of the U.S. tremendously. The inclusion of Canada in the union would significantly increase the U.S. resources of land, people, types of industry, and available ports. It would increase the tax base of Congress as well as contribute its valuable resources to the overall economic good of the U.S. Furthermore, the annexation of Canada would help to significantly eliminate the biggest threat to American Independence: the presence of Great Britain on the North American continent. If Canada had overthrown British rule in the 1780s and joined the United States as a sovereign state, the British would have had no further holdings of land in North America. However, after the war, the British continued to violate the Treaty of Paris by maintaining forts in the western territory of the United States. The British controlled the Great Lakes, which bordered the U.S. and Canada and the St. Lawrence River, thereby giving them powerful control over trade in the interior of North America. The United States aimed to eliminate the presence of as many of its competitors as possible. Unfortunately, Canada had no interest in joining the United States and remained a British colony. The British presence north and west of the United States continued to be a problem, and eventually led to the War of 1812.
What this Article did accomplish, however, was to establish the precedent by which new states would be absorbed into the union. With this precedent, rather than representing a governing body with fixed limits, the United States would be able to expand and absorb sovereign states on an equal basis, instead of as colonies. This idea was later put into practice in Thomas Jefferson's Land Ordinance of 1784, which provided new states with the same right to self-governance and representation in congress as those enjoyed by older states.

I got the answer wrong and told me it was that!
The correct option is C. The island of Taiwan experienced a name change shortly after the 1949 Communist revolution, it was formerly called Formosa .
Taiwan was only recognized as the Republic of Formosa for a mere five short months, despite the fact that it had been called Formosa for millennia.

The Chinese Communists defeated the Nationalists in a conflict in 1949. The People's Republic of China was founded by them. The Nationalists arrived in Taiwan after departing from China's mainland.
The island of Taiwan continues to go by a number of names, each originating from explorers or kings who lived during a specific historical era. When Portuguese sailors discovered an unexplored island in 1542, they gave it the name Ilha Formosa and documented it on their charts.
The right answer is C. Taiwan was once known as Formosa; the name was changed shortly after the Communist revolution of 1949.

A. military

C. trade
D. business
Because the Constitution is the foundation of government, it plays a significant role in our daily lives. As a result, choice (B) is appropriate.
What is constitution?The collection of guiding principles or accepted precedents that serve as the foundation for a polity, organization, or other form of body's legal structure and frequently specify how that institution is to be governed is known as a constitution.
One or more legal writings that contain these tenets are said to embody a written constitution; if all tenets are included in a single complete document, it is said to embody a codified constitution. The United Kingdom Constitution is a remarkable example of a non-codified constitution; it is instead contained in multiple foundational Acts of a legislature, legal decisions, or treaties.
Hence, option (B) is the accurate answer.
