Answer:
In the 1920s writers and poets wrote about various subjects and used a variety of styles to express their thoughts. American playwright, <u>Eugene O'Neill</u>, wrote plays that offered a modern view of life, while novelist, <u>Ernest Hemingway</u>, wrote of his disillusionment with World War I.
Explanation:
Eugene O'Neill's dramaturgy involves characters who inhabit the margins of society, with their unruly behavior, trying to maintain unreachable aspirations and hopes of the 'American miracle'. Even so, O'Neill tried to capture the feeling of hope. On the other hand, Ernest Hemingway worked as a war correspondent in Miami during the Spanish Civil War, which gave him the worst view about human behavior.

In 1783 in Britain, and most of the world, slavery was an accepted and legal practice.
Sick slave being thrown overboardIn that year, a case was heard before the British courts. The insurer of the slave ship Zong, which carried African slaves from Africa to the Americas, refused to pay a claim for “lost cargo”. That lost cargo was more than 100 sick slaves that had been thrown overboard by the ship’s captain, so that their value could be claimed against the insurers. If the slaves had died of natural causes (their sickness), no claim could be brought against the insurers. The insurers won their case. Efforts to bring murder charges against the ship owners failed. The slaves were not human beings they were goods.
you're welcome and have a good day.
Answer:
The great army of the West, commanded by General William T. Sherman, enters Savannah, Georgia, at Christmas of 1864. They have just come on their march to the sea, starting out in Atlanta. They have marched through the heart of Georgia... They have destroyed everything in their path that could be of use to the Confederacy: railroad tracks, they have burned plantations. They have liberated tens of thousands of slaves, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln... Sherman says when he starts out on the march, "I can make Georgia howl." He's bringing the war to the civilian population. He doesn't kill civilians. He doesn't attack them, but he destroys property; he destroys their livelihoods and he liberates their slaves.
He's trying to demonstrate that the South has no power that can prevent the North from prevailing in this war. If he can march right through the heart of one of the most important Southern states without any opposition even, wreaking devastation and liberating the slaves... And for generations afterward, the name Sherman will be a byword for cruelty in the minds of white Southerners and white Georgians who experience this.
