Answer: Loyalists

Explanation:

Loyalists were American colonists who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War, often referred to as Tories, Royalists or King's Men at the time. They were opposed by the Patriots, who supported the revolution, and called them "persons inimical to the liberties of America."[1]

Prominent Loyalists repeatedly assured the British government that many thousands of them would spring to arms and fight for the crown. The British government acted in expectation of that, especially in the southern campaigns in 1780–81. Britain was able to effectively protect the people only in areas where they had military control, and in return, the number of military Loyalists was significantly lower than what had been expected. Due to the conflicting political views, loyalists were often under suspicion of those in the British military, who did not know whom they could fully trust in such a conflicted situation; they were often looked down upon.[2]

Patriots watched suspected Loyalists very closely and would not tolerate any organized Loyalist opposition. Many outspoken or militarily active Loyalists were forced to flee, especially to their stronghold of New York City. William Franklin, the royal governor of New Jersey and son of Patriot leader Benjamin Franklin, became the leader of the Loyalists after his release from a Patriot prison in 1778. He worked to build Loyalist military units to fight in the war. Woodrow Wilson wrote that "there had been no less than twenty-five thousand loyalists enlisted in the British service during the five years of the fighting. At one time (1779) they had actually outnumbered the whole of the continental muster under the personal command of Washington."[3]

When their cause was defeated, about 15 percent of the Loyalists (65,000–70,000 people) fled to other parts of the British Empire, to Britain itself, or to British North America (now Canada).[4] The southern Loyalists moved mostly to Florida, which had remained loyal to the Crown, and to British Caribbean possessions. Northern Loyalists largely migrated to Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. They called themselves United Empire Loyalists. Most were compensated with Canadian land or British cash distributed through formal claims procedures. Loyalists who left the US received over £3 million or about 37% of their losses from the British government. Loyalists who stayed in the US were generally able to retain their property and become American citizens.[5] Many Loyalists eventually returned to the US after the war and discriminatory laws had been repealed.[6] Historians have estimated that between 15 and 20% of the 2,000,000 whites in the colonies in 1775 were Loyalists (300,000–400,000).[7]

Answer:

This lead to the Louisiana Purchase

Explanation:

Answer:

This lead to the Louisiana Purchase

Explanation:

Answer: B. The American revolution

Explanation: After the American revolution, which took place from 1775 to 1783, Canada began to gain its independence from Great Britain.  In fact it was in 1867, when the Province of Canada united with Nova Scotia, two other British colonies, formed their own self-governing body.  

The American revolution served as an inspiration for Canadian political leaders and played a pivotal role in shaping Canada's journey towards independence from Great Britain because it created a sense of possibility and fueled the aspirations of Canadians to govern themselves.

The American revolution resulted in the Thirteen Colonies (which later became the United States) breaking away from British rule. The successful revolution had a significant impact on Canada's path to independence.

During the American revolution, many British loyalists fled to Canada, particularly to the provinces of Nova Scotia, Quebec, and Ontario. These loyalists, who remained loyal to the British crown, played a crucial role in shaping Canada's identity and political landscape.

In summary, following the American revolution, there was a greater desire among Canadians for more autonomy and self-governance. This desire for independence gained momentum in the early 19th century, leading to the establishment of responsible government in Canada. Responsible government allowed elected representatives to have more control over local affairs, gradually reducing British influence.

Answer: Akhenaten (pronounced /ˌækəˈnɑːtən/),[8] also spelled Echnaton,[9] Akhenaton,[3] Ikhnaton,[2] and Khuenaten[10][11] (Ancient Egyptian: ꜣḫ-n-jtn, meaning "Effective for the Aten"), was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh reigning c. 1353–1336[3] or 1351–1334 BC,[4] the tenth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Before the fifth year of his reign, he was known as Amenhotep IV (Ancient Egyptian: jmn-ḥtp, meaning "Amun is satisfied", Hellenized as Amenophis IV).

Atenism

Akhenaten is noted for abandoning Egypt's traditional polytheistic religion and introducing Atenism, worship centered on Aten. The views of Egyptologists differ whether Atenism should be considered as absolute monotheism, or whether it was monolatry, syncretism, or henotheism.[12][13] This culture shift away from traditional religion was not widely accepted. After his death, Akhenaten's monuments were dismantled and hidden, his statues were destroyed, and his name excluded from lists of rulers compiled by later pharaohs.[14] Traditional religious practice was gradually restored, notably under his close successor Tutankhamun, who changed his name from Tutankhaten early in his reign.[15] When some dozen years later rulers without clear rights of succession from the Eighteenth Dynasty founded a new dynasty, they discredited Akhenaten and his immediate successors, referring to Akhenaten himself as "the enemy" or "that criminal" in archival records.[16][17]

Akhenaten was all but lost to history until the late 19th century discovery of Amarna, or Akhetaten, the new capital city he built for the worship of Aten.[18] Furthermore, in 1907, a mummy that could be Akhenaten's was unearthed from the tomb KV55 in the Valley of the Kings by Edward R. Ayrton. Genetic testing has determined that the man buried in KV55 was Tutankhamun's father,[19] but its identification as Akhenaten has since been questioned.[6][7][20][21][22]

Akhenaten's rediscovery and Flinders Petrie's early excavations at Amarna sparked great public interest in the pharaoh and his queen Nefertiti. He has been described as "enigmatic", "mysterious", "revolutionary", "the greatest idealist of the world", and "the first individual in history", but also as a "heretic", "fanatic", "possibly insane", and "mad".[12][23][24][25][26] The interest comes from his connection with Tutankhamun, the unique style and high quality of the pictorial arts he patronized, and ongoing interest in the religion he attempted to establish.

Explanation:

it is in slope intercept form already, because the 0 ans x cancel out bc 0 times anything is 0.

Answer:

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is 0.

The y-intercept form is y=mx+b. So, mx is slope, and b is the intercept. You would then have -1=0x+b and you would just have to use a graph to solve for the intercept.

Answer:

Should be 11 \(\frac{3}{4}\) Inches :)

Explanation:

Volume is the length × width × height, or the area × height. We are given the length and width of the box, so we can find the area pretty easily,  by multiplying 18 and 13.5 to get 243 inches.

Now we have:

243in × height = 2,855.25

Then all we have to do is divide the volume (2,855.25) by the area (243) to find the missing height.

\(\frac{2,855.25}{243}\) = 11.75, or 11 \(\frac{3}{4}\) inches

Explanation:

America has undergone significant changes over time, with its treatment of Mexican Americans being a particularly salient example. In the early twentieth century, Mexican Americans experienced substantial discrimination and marginalization. This treatment was often rooted in a perception of Mexican Americans as inferior and in need of control. However, in the latter half of the century, there has been a marked shift in attitudes towards Mexican Americans, with greater acceptance and integration into American society.

The emergence of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s marks a turning point in the treatment of Mexican Americans. This movement sought to address the systemic discrimination against Mexican Americans, challenging the exclusionary practices of white-dominated institutions and advocating for equal rights. By the 1980s, the Mexican American community had made meaningful progress, with greater political representation, educational attainment, and access to economic opportunities.

However, this progress has been uneven, and challenges remain. Even in the 21st century, Mexican Americans face discrimination in areas such as housing and employment, and are disproportionately affected by poverty and lack of access to healthcare. Moreover, the Trump administration's anti-immigrant policies, including the separation of families at the border and the termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, have further exacerbated the challenges faced by Mexican Americans.

Despite these ongoing challenges, there is evidence of continued progress and increasing acceptance of Mexican Americans. For example, in recent years, Mexican American culture has become more mainstream, with greater appreciation for Mexican cuisine, music, and art. In addition, the rise of Mexican American representation in politics, media, and entertainment has helped to challenge stereotypes and promote greater understanding.

In conclusion, the treatment of Mexican Americans in America has changed dramatically over time, with significant progress made towards greater equality and acceptance. However, challenges remain, and ongoing efforts are needed to address discrimination and promote greater inclusion. By drawing on evidence from the text, personal experience, and other literature, art, and history, it is clear that understanding the history and ongoing struggles of Mexican Americans is essential to promoting a more just and equitable society.

Answer:

Fear of provoking war with Mexico and Texas protested joining the United States

Explanation:

there were several reasons why the United States initially denied Texas' annexation immediately after the Texas Revolution. Here are two possible combinations of reasons:

1. Fear of provoking war with Mexico and Texas' substantial debt acquired from the revolution: The United States was concerned that annexing Texas would provoke a war with Mexico, which could lead to a larger conflict with other European powers. Additionally, Texas had acquired significant debt from its revolution, and the United States was not willing to assume that debt.

2. Texans protested joining the United States and fear of provoking war with Mexico: Although some Texans supported joining the United States, others were opposed to it. They preferred to remain an independent republic rather than become part of the United States. Additionally, the United States was concerned about the potential for war with Mexico if it annexed Texas, which could have negative consequences for the country.

Answer:

Explanation:

The United States of America started out as 13 original colonies. These colonies belonged to the British Empire and were founded during the 17th and 18th centuries.  

By the 1700s, the British government controlled its colonies under mercantilism, a system that regulated the balance of trade in favor of Britain. Over time, colonists became frustrated with this unfair economic system and with Britain's administration of taxation of the colonies without any accompanying representation in Britain.  

The governments of the colonies were formed in different manners and with various structures. Each colony was set up in a way such that by the mid-1700s, they had a strong capacity for self-government and held local elections. Some early colonial governments foreshadowed elements that would be found in the U.S. government after independence.

Answer: this one "support settlement of US territory gained through the US Mexican War"

Explanation:

According to the excerpt above, the Gadsden Purchase was intended to support settlement of US territory gained through the US Mexican War. Hence, option A is correct.

The Nueces Strip boundary dispute between Texas and the United States was the direct cause of the Mexican-American War.

A significant victory was achieved by the US Army. Despite losing 13,000 soldiers, the military prevailed in every battle throughout the conflict. Mexico lost half of its land and was not comforted by the financial agreement.

Mexican reluctance to acknowledge Texas' independence, Texans' ambition for statehood, and Americans' desire for westward expansion all contributed to the Mexican-American War of 1846–1848.

The United States Senate voted 40 to 2 on May 12, 1846, to declare war on Mexico. North of the Rio Grande, President James K. Polk had accused Mexican forces of attacking Americans on American land. However, Mexico argued

Thus, option A is correct.

The exact content of the lost Library of Alexandria is difficult to determine with certainty due to its destruction and the lack of comprehensive records. However, the library was known for housing a vast collection of ancient texts, documents, and knowledge from various civilizations.

The library contained a wide range of works, including scientific, mathematical, philosophical, historical, and literary texts. It is believed to have housed important works by renowned scholars and thinkers of the time, such as Aristotle, Euclid, Archimedes, and Socrates. Many original manuscripts and writings from ancient Greek, Egyptian, and other cultures were likely present in the library.

Unfortunately, the library was destroyed during different periods of history, including a fire in the 1st century BCE and subsequent invasions and conflicts. As a result, a significant amount of ancient knowledge and valuable texts were lost forever. The exact extent and specific details of the lost content remain a subject of speculation and scholarly debate.

Answer:

The works of Homer, the ancient Greek poet who wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey. According to some sources, the Library had a complete collection of his works, and scholars tried to edit and standardize them.

The works of Plato, the influential Greek philosopher who wrote dialogues such as the Republic and the Symposium. The Library had a copy of his original edition, which was later corrected by his student Aristotle.

The works of Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and scientist who wrote on various topics such as logic, ethics, politics, biology, and metaphysics. The Library had his original manuscripts, which were later edited by his successors.

The works of Euclid, the Greek mathematician who wrote the Elements, a foundational treatise on geometry and number theory. The Library had his original edition, which was later revised by other mathematicians.

The works of Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, and inventor who wrote on topics such as mechanics, hydrostatics, calculus, and geometry. The Library had some of his original works, such as On the Sphere and Cylinder and On Floating Bodies.

The works of Eratosthenes, the Greek mathematician, astronomer, geographer, and librarian who was the head of the Library for several years. He wrote on topics such as geography, chronology, astronomy, and mathematics. He is famous for calculating the circumference of the Earth using geometry and measuring angles.

Explanation/Description:

That is a very difficult question to answer, as the exact content of the lost Library of Alexandria is unknown. The Library was the most famous and largest library of the ancient world, and it contained hundreds of thousands of documents from various civilizations and cultures. However, the Library was destroyed by several fires and attacks over the centuries, and most of its collection was lost forever.

Sargon created the world’s first empire by conquering Mesopotamian city-states. Thus the correct option is D.

The world's first empire is attributed to Sargon of Akkad, a monarch who governed the city of Akkad in Mesopotamia (current-day Iraq) in the 23rd century BCE.

Sargon wanted to safeguard his control over the regions, so he appointed reliable officials to rule in each Sumerian city, establishing an efficient administration.

Then, he started to expand his domain by conquering neighboring city-states after first establishing himself as a strong leader in Akkad. He attacked and conquered these cities with the aid of his army, and after that, he replaced their native rulers with slaves that served him.

Therefore, option D is appropriate.
