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.

A strategic crossroads northeast of richmond
Flauer [41]
<span> <span>The strategic crossroads northeast of Richmond is the “Cold Harbor”.

The Battle of the Cold Harbor was on the final battles fought in 1864 during the American Civil War. The Peninsular Campaign led to a combat in between the Union led by Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and the army of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

When Grant was not able to break the lines drawn by Lee in Spotsylvania both the armies headed towards the Anna River that was only 25 miles from Richmond.

After this battle, Grant continued to pursue his goal of attacking the capital of the Confederate, which led to another battle just 8 miles from the northeast of Richmond, which was in the vicinity of the strategic crossroads northeast of Richmond, called Cold Harbor.

The name Cold Harbor was derived from the name of a tavern and the place was situated in between the rivers Chickahominy and Pamunkey.

The "medieval era" describes the period of history
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

C.) between the fall of Rome and the coming of the Renaissance.

Explanation:

We usually divide the medieval era into two periods: High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages.

  • The High Middle Ages extended from the 5th to the 10th centuries. It was the time of consolidation in the Western Europe of feudalism, the predominant socioeconomic system in the medieval era.
  • The Late Middle Ages comprehends from the eleventh century to the end of the medieval period in the fifteenth century. This is when feudalism peaked and went into decay. Slowly, it began to undergo transformations that would only be completed in the Modern Age, when it would be replaced, in the political field, by national monarchies and, in the economic, by the mercantilist system.

This period marks the fief as the economic base, the political structure based on the system of vassal and lord, certain social statism, where there was little mobility and a strong hierarchy between classes and the dominance of the Church in the religious scene. In addition, the medieval wars and the Black Death decimated much of the population of the time.
