America's gun culture was born from a history rooted in guns. In complete sentences,
using proper punctuation, grammar and spelling, please explain a minimum of two
historical reasons why the gun is such a powerful component of our social, political and
cultural history.

Answers

Answer 1
Guns in America all focus around the foundations of the country; America was made to be free, and the founding fathers wanted to ensure that the new government wouldn’t be able to hold all power over citizens— in the fight against the British government (where America decided many of its values in declaring their independence / what they wanted from a government), Americans took up arms against British soldiers who were, in their opinion, unfairly armed in comparison— American ‘soldiers’ were made up of citizens and many didn’t have guns. Some even fought with only pitchforks and other tools, because they didn’t have access to anything else. So it would make sense that Americans, once finally attaining the right to choose their government, valued a citizen’s ability to take up arms against a government if they see it unfit to rule them— they had just escaped from an oppressive rule and didn’t care to see history repeat itself. This all has to do with the idea of “the people’s rule,” rather than a monarch’s. Guns also play a big role in the IDEA of freedom itself. Not only were guns something which had been greatly lacking when needed (before and during the revolution, where they were in desperate need of guns to fight the armies which were heavily armed), but guns had helped bring America to freedom in some part— and they also represented the ability to protect oneself. American citizens were confident, after the fight, that so long as they could own weapons, the citizens would be able to defend themselves against others, rather than relying on the government to do so. They also believed that a citizen would be able to defend themselves from the government if given guns. The Boston Massacre helps to explain this ideology which many Americans strongly held: citizens harassed British soldiers on a street, and in return, several citizens were shot. With no guns or real arms to fight back with, the situation was considered horrific by colonists, who saw it unfair for the soldiers to be given power— which they abused— while the citizens were given none— and thus couldn’t escape the abusive soldiers. Having guns, in a very early American’s mind, would probably make them feel much safer. After living through an oppressive government and hectic fight to freedom, people are going to be scared of losing their freedom, and at the time guns represented their ability to defend what they had attained. Overall, guns tend to represent an American’s freedom; their ability to fight for what they believe in; and their own, self-promised safety.

   The trail of tears scattered the Cherokee in all directions

Explanation:

The Trail of Tears scattered the Cherokee in all directions is the statement is not true of the Trail of Tears. Hence, option B is correct.

What is Trail of Tears?

The Trail of Tears, a forced migration of American Indian tribes from the South and Southeast to the West between 1837 and 1839, was affected by President Andrew Jackson's policies, who ruled the country from 1828 to 1837. Tribes all over the South and Southeast were threatened by land grabs at the beginning of the 1800s.

For the benefit of white settlers who wanted to grow cotton on the Indians' land, the federal government forced them to leave their homes and relocate hundreds of miles to a specially designated "Indian Territory" across the Mississippi River.

The American Department of War forcefully relocates around 17,000 Cherokee to Indian Territory.

Thus, option B is correct.

The concept of centralizing governmental power. In this process, large amounts of land and people come under the control of a single government. What might be the advantages to a society that centralizes its government (such as the Sui Dynasty in China) compared to a decentralized system (such as Ancient Greece)?

Answers

The advantages of a centralized government impliy the following.
After the industrial revolution, the growth of economics worldwide has been lead by large companies that need centralization to be effective.
But in ancient times like the dynasties in China, a central government unified people in order to have a better control of the society. A strong central authority made possible a much better internal operation of rules.
However, centralization has disadvantages like despotism, autocracy and deaf ears to peoples opinions and demands.
In decentralized systems like the Greeks of ancient times, The Assembly had monthly meetings in Athens to discuss the the problems of the city. The meetings were open to the public in a demonstration of civility and the right of hearing to anyone.
Nowadays we find decentralized governments like the U.S. or centralized ones like Cuba.
