Answer:
The Influence of Religion in Phillis Wheatley's Life
Phillis Wheatley overcame extreme obstacles, such as racism and sexism, to become one of the most acclaimed poets in the 18th Century. Her works are characterized by religious and moral backgrounds, which are due to the extensive education of religion she received. In this sense, her poems also fit into American Poetry. However, she differs in the way that she is a black woman whose writings tackle greater subjects while incorporating her moral standpoint. By developing her writing, she began speaking out against injustices that she faced and, consequently, gave way to authors such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Countee Cullen.
On July 11, 1761, a slave ship from Fula, West Africa…show more content…
In general, religion was a large part of Boston. Few slaves were encouraged to attend church; however, the Wheatleys attended New South Congregational Church and encouraged Phillis to embrace the Lord as they had (Mason 4). Because she was asthmatic, she attended Old South Congregational Church, which was closer to the Wheatley residence (Weidt 15).
By the age of twelve, she had become quite familiar with the Bible as well as literary works of contemporary English poets. In addition, she translated works by the Latin and Greek writers Ovid and Homer, respectively (Mason 4). At this same time, after being in Boston for about four years, she began to take an interest in writing (Mason 4). Susanna supplied Phillis with paper and ink to enable her to write and even allowed Phillis to ignore her household something that was practically unheard of for a slave (Mason 5). However, Susanna was accommodating because she wanted Phillis to pursue her religious education and believed that writing would enable her to do so.
Explanation:
Answer:
Phillis Wheatley Peters was born in West Africa in 1753. At the age of eight, she was kidnapped, enslaved in New England, and sold to John Wheatley of Boston. The first African-American and one of the first women to publish a book of poetry in the colonies, Wheatley learned to read and write English by the age of nine, familiarizing herself with Latin, Greek, the Bible, and selected classics at an early age. She began writing poetry at thirteen, modeling her work on the English poets of the time, particularly John Milton, Thomas Gray, and Alexander Pope. Her poem “On the Death of the Rev. Mr. George Whitefield” was published as a broadside in cities such as Boston, New York, and Philadelphia and garnered Wheatley national acclaim. This poem was also printed in London. Over the next few years, she would print a number of broadsides elegizing prominent English and colonial leaders.
Explanation:
one of her poemsON VIRTUE
O Thou bright jewel in my aim I strive
To comprehend thee. Thine own words declare
Wisdom is higher than a fool can reach.
I cease to wonder, and no more attempt
Thine height t’explore, or fathom thy profound.
But, O my soul, sink not into despair,
Virtue is near thee, and with gentle hand
Would now embrace thee, hovers o’er thine
head.
Fain would the heav’n-born soul with her converse,
Then seek, then court her for her promis’d bliss.
Auspicious queen, thine heav’nly pinions spread,
And lead celestial Chastity along;
Lo! now her sacred retinue descends,
Array’d in glory from the orbs above.
Attend me, Virtue, thro’ my youthful years!
O leave me not to the false joys of time!
But guide my steps to endless life and bliss.
Greatness, or Goodness, say what I shall call thee,
To give an higher appellation still,
Teach me a better strain, a nobler lay,
O thou, enthron’d with Cherubs in the realms of day!

Explanation:
How did European states come to dominate China’s economy during the mid 19century?
Answer:
China tenía una cultura milenaria que había sobrevivido a toda clase de amenazas extranjeras. De una forma u otra, por mucho que cambiara la persona, la dinastía y la etnia que ejercía el poder, la cultura china había salido airosa de las influencias extranjeras. De hecho, los conquistadores siempre habían acabado por someterse a la tradición china.
Nada podía hacer sospechar, a principio del siglo XIX, que China sufriera una transformación que acabaría con esta cultura guardada durante siglos y, que además, acabaría siendo dominada por las potencias europeas bajo la impotente mirada de la dinastía Qing. A finales del siglo XVIII, los contactos con Europa no dejaban de ser meras anécdotas para los chinos. Ni siquiera los jesuitas que habían empezado a llegar a las tierras asiáticas parecían suponer un problema.
Bien recibidos por el entonces emperador Kangxi, los jesiutas parecieron olvidar su principal cometido, las enseñanzas cristianas, e iniciaron una labor de estudio de la propia cultura china. No es de extrañar que emisarios papeles fueran enviados a poner fin a la actividad de estos.
Tampoco los productos que traían los europeos causaban sensación entre la población china, ni siquiera entre sus clases más altas. Es más, sucedía todo lo contrario, los europeos se encontraban mucho más interesados por las manufacturas chinas.

Answer two questions about Equations A and B: A. 2x-1=5x B. -1=3x 1) How can we get Equation B from Equation A? Choose 1 answer: Add/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side Rewrite one side (or both) by combining like terms Rewrite one side (or both) using the distributive property NEXT QUESTION based on the previous answer, are the equations equivalent? In other words, do they have the same solution? A. Yes B. No
Answer:
Rewrite one side by combining like terms.
A. Yes the equations are equivalent meaning they have the same solution.
Explanation:
In solving equations of such, the first procedure always is to collect like terms and when this is done in equation A it will give us something like this : -1=5x-2x, when we go further by subtracting 2x from 5x, it will give us an equation that looks exactly like equation B and when we solve each equation separately, we are going to have the same solution.
The first one is Add/Subtract the same quantity to/from both sides and the second one is Yes

How did General Scott's Union blockade plan affect Georgia during the Civil War?
A
It reduced trade coming into and out of Georgia's ports.
B
It encouraged Lincoln to free the slaves in confederate states including Georgia.
C
It destroyed Georgia's resources as Sherman burned a large part of the state.
D
It led Georgia to expand its port operations and send more ships to block the Union ports.
Answer:
During the Civil War, the Union attempted to blockade the southern states. A blockade meant that they tried to prevent any goods, troops, and weapons from entering the southern states. By doing this, the Union thought they could cause the economy of the Confederate States to collapse
Explanation:
Georgia was impacted by General Scott's Union blockade strategy because it hindered trade from entering and leaving its ports. As a result, response option (A) is the proper one.
What was the Blockade Plan?A blockade is a form of hostility in which one party prevents access to or departure from a specific area of the enemy's territory, most frequently one of its coasts. Blockades are subject to international law and custom, and they call for impartial application and advance notification to neutral governments.
In the American Civil War, the United States used the Union blockade as a naval tactic to stop the Confederacy from conducting business.
The Union tried to blockade the southern states during the Civil War. By enforcing a blockade, they aimed to stop all supplies, troops, and weapons from reaching the southern states. The Union believed that by doing this, they could bring about the demise of the Confederate States' economy.
Hence, option (A) is accurate.

(BRAINLIEST QUESTION) Why did President Theodore Roosevelt feel that building the Panama Canal had become a military necessity for the United States?
Relations between the United States and Mexico had deteriorated and a canal would allow the US Navy to enforce a blockade of Mexico
The Panama Canal could be fortified and used as a defense against an invasion from South America into Central America.
The US acquisition of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico meant the US Navy would need to defend territories in both oceans.
There were no shipyards on the west coast of the United States, so the canal was needed to move warships to the Pacific Ocean.
Answer: The US acquisition of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico meant the US Navy would need to defend territories in both oceans.
Explanation:
The United States was a huge country with coastlines on both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans and then as a result of the Spanish American war, gained territories in the Pacific being Guam, Philippians and Hawaii as well as Puerto Rico in the Atlantic.
The US therefore needed a way to move their military resources from one coast to the other to defend these territories, coastlines and exert American control over both oceans. The solution was the Panama canal and so the US built it through Gun-boat diplomacy.
I agree with the other person, the correct answer is indeed C.
