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 ;)

3. Which of the following best describes the settling of the American continent? (1 point)
ale4655 [162]

B Anthropologists believe that the earliest settlers migrated from Asia thousands of years ago

Explanation:

  • The first American inhabitants, Paleo-Indians, arrived in the New World with a single, unique wave of migration from Siberia 23,000 years ago, to be divided into today's groups only later, DNA research showed.
  • Most scientists agree that the continent was inhabited by people crossing the Bering Land Bridge (at that time there was a crossroads between Siberia and Alaska), and archaeological discoveries so far indicate that humans were present on American soil 15,000 years ago.
  • These migrants split into two major groups about 13,000 years ago, at a time when glaciers were melting and roads inland were opening up in North America, experts say.
