Answer:

The Opium War, usually the Opium War refers to the First Opium War, which the British often refer to as the First Sino-British War or "Trade War", which was an unjust war of aggression launched by Britain against China from 1840 to 1842, and also the beginning of China's modern history of humiliation.

In 1840 (the twentieth year of Daoguang), the British government decided to send an expeditionary force to invade China under the pretext of Lin Zexu's Humen tobacco sales. In June 1840, 47 British ships and 4,000 army personnel, led by Rear Admiral George Yilu and Yi Lu, the commercial supervisor in China, arrived outside the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangdong province, blockaded Haikou, and the Opium War began.

The Opium War ended with China's defeat and the cession of land in reparations. China and Britain signed the Treaty of Nanking, the first unequal treaty in Chinese history. China began to cede land, pay indemnities, and agree on tariffs to foreign countries, which seriously endangered China's sovereignty, began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, lost its independent and autonomous status, and promoted the disintegration of the small-scale peasant economy. At the same time, the Opium War also opened a new chapter in the history of the resistance of the Chinese people to foreign aggression in modern times.

One

Both the other two choices were determined by the economic structure of the south. Society was determined by money and so therefore were politics.

Two

The second one is pretty gray. They were interconnected. If I answered economic for the first blank, I pretty much have to do the same for the second. If the economy changed, so did the political and social functions. The social functions only look like they were the most challenging change that was taking place, but that was only because the economy could no longer support labor needs.

Three

Well you were uprooting their way of life. Anytime you do that to people, they are going to resist you. I'm not saying it's right. I'm merely saying that's what happens.

Sometime when you have the time watch Gone With the Wind. It is a classic  movie having to do with this part of your question. Gerald, Scarlet's father, tries to show her that their wealth remained in tact by showing her the bonds he had bought to preserve their money. She looks at him in horror as she realizes those bonds are worthless. The society she knew has been been blown away. They are penniless and she knows it.

Four

This is an important question. Every American should know the answer.

XII is the emancipation Proclamation. You can't vote if you are not free.

XIV Gave male members the right to vote if they are citizens and 21 or more years old (See Section 2). The explanation of this Amendment is probably the longest of any amendment.

XV Color has nothing to do with who can vote.

My favorite is number 19 -- long overdue in every country.

XIX women were given the right to vote. It is probably the shortest amendment's explanations.

Why did many northerners oppose it
sladkih [1.3K]
To the North slavery was morally wrong & cruel. But, also with the South pushing the expansion of slavery, the North felt as if it was taking more jobs away from the whites. Only about 25% of people owned slaves by 1860.
