History

OleMash [197]3 years ago
7 0

The letter was initially entrusted to courier Albert Martin, who carried it to the town of Gonzales some seventy miles away. Martin added several postscripts to encourage men to reinforce the Alamo, and then handed the letter to Launcelot Smithers. Smithers added his own postscript and delivered the letter to its intended destination, San Felipe de Austin. Local publishers printed over 700 copies of the letter. It also appeared in the two main Texas newspapers and was eventually printed throughout the United States and Europe. Partially in response to the letter, men from throughout Texas and the United States began to gather in Gonzales. Between 32 and 90 of them reached the Alamo before it fell; the remainder formed the nucleus of the army which eventually defeated Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto. Following the end of the Texas Revolution, the original letter was delivered to Travis's family in Alabama, and in 1893, one of his descendants sold it to the State of Texas for $85 ($2,266 today). For many decades it was displayed at the Texas State Library; the original letter is now protected and a copy is on display under a portrait of Travis.

What motivated the Red Guards to create chaos during the Cultural
vazorg [7]

Answer:

The right answer here is B. A desire to destroy anything that could threaten communism in China.

Explanation:

The Red Guards turned into one of the most effective and dealiest instruments of Chairman Mao Zedong´s manipulation during the Cultural Revolution. The real purpose of Mao was to destroy and remove from office his political opponents and critics, thus consolidating his position as Red China´s paramount leader. He used his wife Jiang Qing and other radicals to launch and promote the campaign. Its official aim was to destroy vestiges of the old, traditional, "reactionary" Chinese culture - such as Confucianism, Buddhism - and burgueois, rightist elements in the Communist Party. The Red Guards movement started in universities and schools. Mao was delighted about them and allowed their abuses. They publicly denounced, vilified, beat and humilliated hundreds of thousands of innocent people. They were a magnificent weapon of caos and destruction.
