Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Columbian exchange, also known as the Columbian interchange, named after Christopher Columbus, was the widespread transfer of plants, animals, culture, human populations, technology, diseases, and ideas between the Americas, West Africa, and the Old World in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Explanation:

Several plants native to the Americas have spread around the world, including potato, maize, tomato, and tobacco. Before 1500, potatoes were not grown outside of South America. By the 19th century they were consumed widely in Europe and had become important crops in India and North America. Potatoes eventually became an important staple of the diet in much of Europe, contributing to an estimated 25% of the population growth in Afro-Eurasia between 1700 and 1900. Many European rulers, including Frederick the Great of Prussia and Catherine the Great of Russia, encouraged the cultivation of the potato

Answer #2

The New York Slave Revolt of 1712 was an uprising in New York City, in the Province of New York, of 23 enslaved Africans.

Explanation:

In the early 18th century, New York City had one of the largest slave populations of any of England's colonies. Slavery in the city differed from some of the other colonies because there were no large plantations. Slaves worked as domestic servants, artisans, dock workers, and various skilled laborers. Enslaved Africans lived near each other, making communication easy. They also often worked among free black people, a situation that did not exist on most Southern plantations. Slaves in the city could communicate and plan a conspiracy more easily than among those on plantations.

Events that presumably led to the revolt include a decrease in freedom and status when the English took over the colony in 1664. Under Dutch rule, when the city was part of New Netherland, freed slaves had certain legal rights, such as the rights to own land and to marry. After the English took over New Amsterdam and made it the colony of New York, they enacted laws that restricted the lives of enslaved peoples.

By the early 1700s, about 20 percent of the population were enslaved black people. The colonial government restricted this group through several measures: requiring slaves to carry a pass if traveling more than a mile (1.6 km) from home; discouraging marriage among them; prohibiting gatherings in groups of more than three persons; and requiring them to sit in separate galleries at church services.

A group of more than twenty black slaves gathered on the night of April 6, 1712, and set fire to a building on Maiden Lane near Broadway. While the white colonists tried to put out the fire, the enslaved blacks, armed with guns, hatchets, and swords, attacked the whites then ran off. Almost immediately all runaway slaves were reunited with their owners.

Answers

Answer:

I think it is B

Explanation:

President Roosevelt backed the admission of Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory as a united state in an effort to ensure that Republicans kept control of Congress. Option B is correct.

What is Oklahoma Territory?

The Territory of Oklahoma was an organized, incorporated territory of the United States from May 2, 1890 until November 16, 1907, when it was united with the Indian Territory under a new constitution and admitted to the Union as the state of Oklahoma, .

The western half of Indian Territory and a region known as No Man's Land were combined into Oklahoma Territory by the Oklahoma Organic Act of 1890.

A constitution, a government structure plan, a map indicating the Oklahoma & Indian territory counties to be founded, and representatives to present a statehood petition to the US Congress were all produced by the convention.

Under this convention following Roosevelt's recommendation, Congress passed the Oklahoma Enabling Act, allowing the Indian and Oklahoma Territories to become united states after drafting and ratifying a constitution.

Thus Option  B is correct.

During the High Middle Ages (100-1300), why did France and England form unified states while Germany remained divided

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

During the High Middle Ages (100-1300), France and England formed unified states while Germany remained divided.

This happened because the governments of France and Great Britain created vast kingdoms that increased the power of control in some European regions. And this was the result of solid leadership in each of the kingdoms.

The problem in the case of Germany was that it never has a true leader -as was the case of France and England- who could be recognized by all the tribes. No leader was strong enough to unify the different territories in Germany.

The post-1949 Chinese history was always characterized by a tension between two competing views of revolution. One focused on the attainment of “material progress,” while the other focused on “the moral pursuit of egalitarian justice and proletarian virtues.” The main advocate for the former was Deng Xiaoping, while the main advocate for the latter was Mao Zedong. Write a short essay in which you discuss the usefulness of this redness/expertise dichotomy for understanding post-1949 China.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

When analyzed as history, the Mao Zedong era (1949–1978) looks different than it did when scrutinized by social scientists. Ever since the founding of the People’s Republic, contemporary observers have identified an underlying reality at odds with the goals and policies pursued by top leaders in Beijing. That underlying reality, scholars found, was characterized by conflict, tension, and variation. Factionalism divided bureaucratic institutions; mass campaigns failed to achieve their aims; local officials subverted policies; groups pursued their own interests. In other words, state control was not always total or centralized but at times appeared limited and tenuous.
