why was it important to have a law that allowed slaves to sue for their freedom?

Answers

brainlist What does Lin say about China’s desire for British goods?

Answers

Answer:

Lin relied on aggressive moral tone, meanwhile proceeding relentlessly against British merchants in a manner that could only insult their government. The only lesson Lin drew from China’s humiliation was that it was necessary to learn more about these “barbarians” and to import their technology. He could neither comprehend the implications of the European challenge nor overcome the weakness and conservative opposition of his contemporaries. Later, the so-called Self-Strengthening Movement adopted Lin’s program of reform; still later generations of revolutionaries abandoned Chinese culture in order to save China but accepted Lin as a national hero because of his courage and example in opposing the British.

How did the early removal of the Chickasaws compare with the early
removal of the Choctaws?

Answers

Answer: The Choctaws was removed 7 years earlier than the Chickasaws.

Explanation:

The Choctaws Indians were removed on September 1830, and the Chickasaws was first removed 1837. In my class we learned that the Choctaws was the largest Mississippi Indian tribe, they were removed to a treaty called Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. The Chickasaws were removed do to the  the Treaty of Doaksville. Choctaw Nation and purchased the right for the settlement of our Chickasaw people in our own district within Choctaw Territory. Most Chickasaws removed to Indian Territory from 1837-1851.

Seven years before the Chickasaws, the Choctaws were expelled. Indians of the Chickasaw tribe were first expelled in 1837 after the removal of the Choctaws in September 1830.

Who were Chickasaws and Choctaws?

The Chickasaw people traveled to areas of modern-day Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky at an early point in their history from west of the Mississippi. The Natchez Trace was built across Chickasaw territory in the early 1800s, and the tribe relinquished some of their land to the federal government. This marked the beginning of encroachment on Chickasaw territory. With the signing of the Treaty of Pontotoc in 1832, removal got under way.

The Choctaw people lived in a large portion of what are now the states of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia before European colonists arrived. With the signing of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830, the Choctaw people were first relocated to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). Informally founded in 1860, the Choctaw Nation was abolished in 1907.

Answer: In addition to leading more than 300 enslaved people to freedom, Harriet Tubman helped ensure the final defeat of slavery in the United States by aiding the Union during the American Civil War. She served as a scout and a nurse, though she received little pay or recognition. Nat Turner destroyed the white Southern myth that slaves were actually happy with their lives or too docile to undertake a violent rebellion. His revolt hardened proslavery attitudes among Southern whites and led to new oppressive legislation prohibiting the education, movement, and assembly of slaves.

Church officials hoped to spread Christianity to other parts of the world.

Westerners desired African resources for use in their industrial factories

Europeans believed strongly in the White Man's Burden and wanted to improve other societies with western civilization.​

Answers

Answer: D. Europeans believed strongly in the White Man’s Burden and wanted to improve other societies with western civilization

Explanation:

The ideology which did not motive the Westerners to imperialize Asia and Africa in the late 19th century was, "Europeans needed African slaves to work on plantations in the New World."

What is western imperialism?

Western imperialism refers to the extension of a nation's authority by territorial acquisition or by the establishment of economic and political dominance over other nations.

A good example was British India, where English was taught in schools, Indian soldiers dressed in British-style, and western trading rules were set up.

Why did Europe need African slaves?

From the 16th to 19th century most European colonial economies in Americas were dependent on enslaved African labor for their survival. America had discovered abundant land which was useless without sufficient labor to exploit it.

Empire-building in Americas would have been impossible without the labor of the African enslaved. Europe's superior position in the world, its colonial expansion and its industrial revolutions, and  were all fueled by slave labor.  

Therefore, this was the reason, the Westerners did not imperialize Asia and Africa in the late 19th century.

Hence, option A is correct.

George Washington was the military commander and hero of the American revolution, the first president by unanimous support, and beloved and admired by the American people. He could have rejected the republican ideals of the revolution and the U.S. Constitution, and stayed in power as a dictator for life, and many people would have supported that.

However, he decided to step down from power and start the tradition of peaceful transition of power, which continues to this day, and that is one of the pillars of the U.S. republican system of government.

How the colonists attempt to avoid paying the imposed taxes/duties placed on sugar by British Parliament?
Do you think it was correct for the British Colonists to smuggle goods instead of paying the tax on the good

Answers

During this time, many taxes were being put on products by the British Parliament. Many of these products were things that the colonists enjoyed, which made them angry. They also had no say in what was being taxed or how much the tax was, as they had nobody in the British Parliament to vouch for them. This is known as "taxation without representation."

One way that the colonists attempted to avoid paying the imposed taxes placed on products was by boycotting. Many colonists during this time simply refused to buy products that contained the tax on them. This sometimes would even escalate to riots, products being burned, and British troops, colonists, and merchants being harmed.

Another problem during this time was the colonists smuggling in goods that were not taxed. While this problem started to escalate, it made British troops start searching homes, businesses, and ships. The colonists hated this and even would eventually create the Fourth Amendment, which protects people against unreasonable searches. While smuggling goods is bad, Great Britain was still untaxing them unfairly and many were left with no choice.

1. Identify domestic events that prompted civil liberties such as the Red Scare, Palmer Raids, Fundamentalism, Marcus Garvey Back to Africa Movement, and the KKK to those attacks.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

This question is missing something important. The part that is missing I am going to include it in capital letters.

Identify domestic events that prompted ATTACKS ON civil liberties such as the Red Scare, Palmer Raids, Fundamentalism, Marcus Garvey Back to Africa Movement, and the KKK to those attacks.

Once clarified this issue, we can say the following.

I am going to choose the case of the Red Scare and the Palm Raids. The domestic events that prompted attacks on civil liberties in the United States in the times of the First Red Scare were the following.

The country lived in uncertain years in which the threat of the spread of Communism and Anarchism really affected the federal government and scare the American society because the government released propaganda campaigns saying that Communism was the worst thing that could ever happen in the United States.

Anyone could accuse you of being Communists or anarchists, and that was enough to be persecuted by the Police.

The Palmer raids started in November 1919 and ended in January 1920. President Woodrow Wilson had ordered to cease civil liberties to people accused of being communist or anarchists. So the Department of Justice arrested many people under the suspect of being those things. Many European immigrants, basically Italian, were arrested just under suspect, not because there was evidence of their conduct.

These were the times of the First Red Scare.
