Why did Hamilton use the words "insurgent" and "insurrection" to describe the events in Pennsylvania

History
1 answer:
Nataly_w [17]1 year ago
4 0

In the summer of 1794, tensions between farmers and creditors in western Pennsylvania boiled over into violence. A group of armed farmers, calling themselves the "Associators," began to attack and seize the property of anyone they saw as an enemy. In response, President George Washington dispatched a force of 13,000 militiamen to put down the rebellion.

In a report to Congress, Alexander Hamilton described the events in Pennsylvania as an "insurgent" and "insurrection." By using these words, Hamilton was trying to downplay the seriousness of the situation and avoid calling it a full-blown rebellion. He may have also been trying to avoid provoking even more violence by using language that was less inflammatory.

The situation in Pennsylvania was eventually resolved without any major bloodshed. However, the episode showed how quickly tensions could boil over into violence in the early days of the republic. It also showed the importance of having a strong central government that was able to quickly put down any internal threats to the stability of the country.

Answer:

B. Grant had been successful in every enterprise he had undertaken in his life.

Explanation:

Ulysses S. Grant was the commander-in-chief of the United States Army at the end of the Civil War (between 1864 and 1865) and the 18th President of the United States (1869-1877). As commanding general, he worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln leading the Union Army until victory over the Confederate side. With the support of Congress, he implemented Reconstruction, often at odds with President Andrew Johnson. Elected twice as president, he led the Republicans in their effort to eradicate the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery, protected African-American citizenship and fostered economic prosperity. Although the eight years of his presidency have been criticized at times for numerous scandals in the administration and for his inability to alleviate the economic depression after the Panic of 1873, he is recognized as a president who governed relatively well in his historical context and who pursued the Justice for all.

Which 1938 event marked the beginning of a national pogrom against Jewish people in Nazi Germany?
12345 [234]

Answer:

Kristallnacht

Explanation

Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass, also called the November Pogrom(s),  was a pogrom against Jews carried out by SA paramilitary forces and civilians throughout Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938. The German authorities looked on without intervening. The name Kristallnacht comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings and synagogues were smashed. The pretext for the attacks was the assassination of the German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year-old German-born Polish Jew living in Paris.
