Why is Thomas Jefferson's view on slavery considered controversial​

Answers

Answer 1

Well, Thomas Jefferson was the person who wrote "all men are created equal" yet enslaved hundreds of people over his life. He also publically said that White people are superior to Black people. So I think it's safe to say his view on slavery would get him publically crucified today. Granted he did attempt to end any importation of enslaved Africans at one point in his life, under his watch, the act of slavery did not go down, rather went up. He also profited in many ways through slavery.

In which portion of this excerpt from his Second Inaugural Address does Abraham Lincoln express his conflicting views about the continuation of the war?

One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully.

Fondly do we hope — fervently do we pray — that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether"

Dear Journal, April 7th, 1847

Pa says we're gettin ready to head to Oregon Country so that we might get ourselves some of that good farming land. Ma isn't real happy about moving away from her hometown, but I am starting to get slightly excited! I am afraid of this long and dangerous journey. I am thankful that I get to take along the doll my grandmother made for me before she passed away last summer. My little brother Joey is bringing along his blanket and ma is bringing her fine china that has been passed down through her family. I am so afraid that once we start our journey that Joey might get hurt or lost. He's a wandering type, and not very good at following directions! And I will certainly miss my friends from home. My best friend Elizabeth says I must write to her everyday.

Yours,

Which answer choice correctly describes how the US Constitution fixed a problem or problems of the Articles of Confederation?
A
Under the Constitution, the people could directly elect their representatives in the US Senate.

B
Under the Constitution, the state governments were granted more control over immigration and trade.

C
Under the Constitution, the federal government had the power to enforce laws but was checked by Congress and the court system.

D
Under the Constitution, political candidates must be a member of a political party so that they represent the interests of the people.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The US Constitution did not originally allow for direct election of senators, it wasn't until the 17th amendment which gave citizens the right to directly elect their senators.

One of the main points of creating the Constitution rather than using the Articles of Confederation was that the federal government was too weak; they could not effectively declare war, levy taxes, or create a military.

The Constitution does not reference any political parties because the founding fathers originally intended for politics to be bipartisan. George Washington in his farewell address, actually discouraged the creation of political parties.

This leaves us with the answer choice of C. The Constitution gives Congress the power to create laws, levy taxes, and declare war, checked and balanced by the executive branch who approves and enforces the laws, and the judicial branch who interprets the laws.

c

What does “anti-revolutionary activities” mean?

Answers

Answer:

Meaning:

Anti-revolutionary activities refer to the activities used to counter act revolutionary activities. You can think of these activities as a suppression or a riot control subject which is a counter to a revolution.

Some Ideas:

Some activities would be preserving state affairs, keeping the same things happening before the revolution, and stop people who want or are doing a revolution.

Anti-revolutionary activities can result in positive or negative results depending on what the "revolution" was on and what it was about.

Real life Example:

One example is, if the government was communist and there was a revolution to it, then the revolution would of had a good purpose(not to the communists obviously). Anti revolutionary activities would be activities to maintain the communism and eliminate the people who wanted a democracy. Or diminish their importance.

Please help!!!

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Supply relative to demand :)

The factor responsible for setting prices in a free-market system is Supply relative to demand. Thus the correct option is B.

What is the Price?

A price refers to the amount which takes place between two individuals when performing the exchange of goods and services. This price is determined by the willingness of both parties involved in the exchange.

A free market system indicates a market structure where the demand and supply maintain the balance of the market and determine the prices.

It can understand with the fact that Demand and supply are measures of how willing both buyers and sellers are to purchase and sell goods.

When both buyers and sellers can reach an agreement on a price, a commodity exchange takes place. As a result, it says that supply in relation to demand influences pricing.

Therefore,  option B is appropriate.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the map and the options for the question. However, doing some research, we can answer the following.

This map supports the idea that urbanization was more likely to occur near water for transport and energy needs.

Rivers are an important source of freshwater and this represented a great opportunity to settle in and establishing towns that later became cities. Rivers also represented an excellent way to develop navigation and transport people and goods such as raw materials and crops. Finally, rivers allow fishing, an important source of food to feed families. That is why many important cities are located next to rivers or close to the banks of a river.
