Answer:

No, I would not expect the borders of a gerrymandered district to apper on a map as a rectangle or a circle or some other recognizable shape.

Explanation:

Since gerrymandering is a political practice that manipulates and re-draws district boundaries for the political advantage of a given group or party, the resulting borders will have a weird shape, different from a rectangle or a circle.

The origin of the term goes back to Elbridge Gerry, who as a governor of Massachusetts in 1812 created a partisan district in Boston with a shape that resembled a salamander. Thus, mockingly, his colleagues named it a gerrymander.

No, I would not expect the borders of a gerrymandered district to appear on a map as a rectangle of circle or some other recognizable shape because first of all, geographic shapes cannot be compared to simple geometric shapes and a “gerrymandered” district would have an odd and bizarre shape, just like what happened when Gov. Elbridge Gerry redrew the Senate districts map – it looked like a salamander.

How was the mentality of the people in the south in the civil war
butalik [34]

Answer: Complicated plz read

Explanation: So the south had the majority of the slaves during the civil war time. The south wanted to Keep slavery and the north wanted to abolish it. This war was considered one of the bloodiest battles in american history. Slavery was very essential back then becuase all those slaves were working hard with minimum to no pay on the farms. This means that the owners could sell the crops and get the moolah.(its all about the moolah right)? So there was a big gun fight and people died. But the mentality of the south states I guess were angry and fighting to keep the money(simply put). While the north thought that the south were being bullies:)

Hope I helped!
