History

The epic battle between the ironclad CSS Virginia (formerly the steam frigate USS Merrimack) and the USS Monitor made history not simply because ironclads were involved, but rather because it was the first engagement between two ironclads. The outcome of the battle is generally considered to have been a draw, although Monitor was firing solid shot throughout and designer John Ericsson was reportedly furious that Monitor had not been supplied with explosive shells, which he was sure would have sunk Virginia had they been employed by firing at Virginia’s waterline. As it was, Monitor probably did more overall damage to Virginia. Monitor had heavier guns and cracked Virginia’s armor in several places, whereas Monitor suffered only dents, literally.

Hope this Helps ;)

2. Farming colonies on the empire's periphery

3. visual expressions of the authority of his power, literary and ritual, constructed on a religious basis

Explanation:

Many American Revolution leaders embraced the concept of an empire growing up in a new country. The concept was consistent with a republic; it meant scale and good influence. As early as 1778 David Ramsay, South Carolina's Continental Congress delegate, wrote that the uniqueness of this continent of the Americas was the basis for a world that was to turn into "The Macedonians, Romans, and British insignificance." A popular "empire of independence" was envisaged for Thomas Jefferson, who protected the vast corridors of the valleys Mississippi and Missouri.
