Answer:

The correct answer is D. In 1735, Peter Zenger was tried for libel in the colony of New York. His trial established the freedom of the press in the Thirteen Colonies.

Explanation:

John Peter Zenger was an eighteenth-century printer, publisher, and journalist in New York. His newspaper, the New York Weekly Journal, was funded by one of the opposition political factions in New York, probably that of James Alexander and William Smith, who used it to criticize the governor of the colony.

Zenger had become a convenient target to silence in an attempt to end the criticism. But on August 5, 1735, the twelve jurors of New York rendered a verdict of "not guilty", without even deliberating, a judgment whose announcement was followed by three successive bursts of applause.

The next day, Zenger was released after 35 weeks of captivity. The failure of the prosecution for "venomous, slanderous and seditious" attacks against the British government was a decisive factor in the colony's assertion of an essential principle of freedom of the press: the right to criticize government authorities.

What role did the African Tribes and the Middle Passage play in helping to grow
Dovator [93]

Answer:

African tribes involved in the Atlantic slave trade.

Explanation:

The slavery system had existed before the arrival of European in Africa. According to some historians, slavery practised in different tribes in the west and central region of Africa. The existence of various ethnic group led to conflicts between themselves that produced captives who could become part of a local slave trade system. The pattern of the trade changes with the shipping of slaves in America. Europeans took advantage of the remaining slave system in Africa to obtain the labour for a plantation economy in the New World.

The Middle Passage was a stage of the Triangular Trade that connected three continents. Europe took manufactured goods and material to Africa in exchange for African slaves from local African leaders. The enslaved African came in America as labours to work in fields in the Southern colonies. Slaves sold to their buyer in return for raw materials for industries in England like cotton, indigo, etc.

Why were points 25 and 28 of the Articles of Capitulation so important?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The Articles of Capitulation of Quebec were agreed upon between Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Roch de Ramezay, King's Lieutenant, Admiral Sir Charles Saunders, and General George Townshend on behalf of the French and British crowns during the Seven Years' War. They were signed on 18 September 1759, shortly after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.[1]

All 11 demands of De Ramsay were granted by the British Army: the honors of war, the protection of the civilians and their properties, the free exercise of the Roman Catholic religion, etc. Several months later, on 28 April 1760, the French Royal Army attempted to retake Quebec City, at the Battle of Sainte-Foy. Although victorious in battle, the French were unable to retake the city due to a lack of naval support. He was prompted to lift the siege after the French Navy was defeated at the Battle of Neuville.

Nearly a year after the Articles of Capitulation for Quebec was signed, the government of New France capitulated in Montreal after a two month British campaign on 8 September 1760.
