3: President James Monroe's 1823 annual message to Congress contained the Monroe Doctrine, which warned European powers not to interfere in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere. Understandably, the United States has always taken a particular interest in its closest neighbors – the nations of the Western Hemisphere.

4: The purchase included land from fifteen present U.S. states and two Canadian provinces, including the entirety of Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska; large portions of North Dakota and South Dakota

6: The United States declared war on Britain in 1812. It did so because Britain refused to stop seizing American ships that traded with France—Britain's enemy in Europe. Sometimes there were also seizures of American sailors. ... For its part, the United States was far from ready to fight.

7: Like many decisions in American history, the location of the new city was to be a compromise: Alexander Hamilton and northern states wanted the new federal government to assume Revolutionary War debts, and Thomas Jefferson and southern states who wanted the capital placed in a location friendly to slave-holding

8: Alan Taylor says for those reasons, many Americans supported the war, particularly in the southern, western and mid-Atlantic states. “But in New England most of the people supported the opposition party, the Federalists, and they were very bitter about the war.

9: Benjamin Banneker was a free African-American almanac author, surveyor, landowner and farmer who had knowledge of mathematics and natural history.

10: In the 1780s, Adams served as a diplomat in Europe and helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris (1783), which officially ended the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). From 1789 to 1797, Adams was America's first vice president. He then served a term as the nation's second president.

13: Battle of Tippecanoe, Congress declares "Mr. Madison's War", British capture Ft. Mackinac, Invasion attempts of Canada, And more.

14: The main result of the War of 1812 has been two centuries of peace between both countries. ... After Napoleon's defeat in 1814, Britain was no longer at war with France, and restrictions on trade ended. The British suspended their policy of impressment of American sailors since there was no need to resume it.

15: The Alien and Sedition Acts were a series of four laws passed by the U.S. Congress in 1798 amid widespread fear that war with France was imminent. The four laws–which remain controversial to this day–restricted the activities of foreign residents in the country and limited freedom of speech and of the press.

16: Hamilton's great aim was more efficient organization, whereas Jefferson once said "I am not a friend to a very energetic government." Hamilton feared anarchy and thought in terms of order; Jefferson feared tyranny and thought in terms of freedom. The United States needed both influences.

17: New England states lost territory as people moved west. What was not a way in which US boundaries changed between 1800 and 1821 was that "New England states lost territory as people moved west." ... President Thomas Jefferson ordered the purchase of the territory that belonged to France.

Compare and Contrast the words of the song to the views of U.S. Government officials of the late 1800s and early 1900s and with the text of the Dawes Act.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Compare and Contrast the words of the song to the views of U.S. Government officials of the late 1800s and early 1900s and with the text of the Dawes Act.

Ok, first we have to say the m¿name of the song that is going to be compared. It is "Don't Drink that Water," performed by David Mattews Band.

Part of the lyrics says the following."What were you expecting? Not room for both. Jus room for me....Yes, I will call this home...You have been banished..."

This song can be compared to the Dawes Act in that this act broke up the Native tribes to support the "Americanization" of the Native Indians and the settling of the white Americans in their territories.

It was Massachusetts legislator Henry Dawes who supported the Dawes Act in 1887, a piece of legislation known as the General Allotment Act.

Question : What serious problem did the pilgrims face when they landed on November 11 and how did they solve this problem ?

My Answer :  

What was the problem ?

They had drifted off course and had landed north of the original place where they were suppose to settle with also winter fast approaching; by staying where they were.

They also faced : 1. Disease

2. Indian attack

3. Malnutrition

4. Starvation

5. Unfamilliar weather

Most of these problems they couldn't solve, like disease, attack, starvation, and weather. The early colonists weren't very willing to work. They thought America was a continuous land of bounty from which they could reap the harvest. Well...it wasn't. A lot of people starved to death. On top of that, they were constantly worried about Indian attack...and they had the right to be. None of the Indians wanted to give up their land and share their resources with a strange invader


The following was not a reason why the Plains Indians were so difficult to defeat in
the 1800s:

Answers

Answer:

The Real Reason: Plain Natives were always on the move, sort of like nomads

What WASN'T the reason: Plains Natives had settlements and never migrated

Explanation:

Plains natives were difficult to defeat because they were always on the move, so the U.S. or Mexican Army couldn't catch up to them. While natives who weren't on the move and had established settlements, were situated in a single place which would allow europeans to raid and destroy their settlement.

so, the wrong reason for why the plains nations were so difficult to defeat would be to say they were a situated settlement and were never migratory or "on the move"

Essay Writer
The Byzantine Empire lasted more than 1,000 years, technically longer than the
Roman Empire. In one or two paragraphs, explain how the Byzantine Empire was
able to survive for so long. What changes eventually brought down the Byzantine
Empire?

Answers

Answer:

The Byzantine Empire was a vast and powerful civilization with origins that can be traced to 330 A.D., when the Roman emperor Constantine I dedicated a “New Rome” on the site of the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium. Though the western half of the Roman Empire crumbled and fell in 476 A.D., the eastern half survived for 1,000 more years, spawning a rich tradition of art, literature and learning and serving as a military buffer between Europe and Asia. The Byzantine Empire finally fell in 1453, after an Ottoman army stormed Constantinople during the reign of Constantine XI.

Byzantium

The term “Byzantine” derives from Byzantium, an ancient Greek colony founded by a man named Byzas. Located on the European side of the Bosporus (the strait linking the Black Sea to the Mediterranean), the site of Byzantium was ideally located to serve as a transit and trade point between Europe and Asia.

In 330 A.D., Roman Emperor Constantine I chose Byzantium as the site of a “New Rome” with an eponymous capital city, Constantinople. Five years earlier, at the Council of Nicaea, Constantine had established Christianity — once an obscure Jewish sect — as Rome’s official religion.

The citizens of Constantinople and the rest of the Eastern Roman Empire identified strongly as Romans and Christians, though many of them spoke Greek and not Latin

Though Constantine ruled over a unified Roman Empire, this unity proved illusory after his death in 337. In 364, Emperor Valentinian I again divided the empire into western and eastern sections, putting himself in power in the west and his brother Valens in the east.

The fate of the two regions diverged greatly over the next several centuries. In the west, constant attacks from German invaders such as the Visigoths broke the struggling empire down piece by piece until Italy was the only territory left under Roman control. In 476, the barbarian Odoacer overthrew the last Roman emperor, Romulus Augustus, and Rome had fallen.

Answer:

The Byzantine Empire survived for as long as it did because of its great wealth. By controlling all the trade that passed through the Bosporus Strait, the Byzantines became wealthy. The city of Constantinople became especially important as a center of trade and culture. Great wealth allowed them to pay for large armies and expand their territory.

After a long time, the cost of war eventually brought down the Byzantine Empire, though. Invasions from the Turks and conflicts with the crusaders hurt the Byzantines. Even Constantinople was captured by crusaders. The empire finally fell when it was defeated by the Ottoman Empire.
