Slaves represented Southern planters' most significant investment—and the bulk of their wealth. Building a commercial enterprise out of the wilderness required labor and lots of it.

Answer: The Tet Offensive.

The Tet Offensive (officially <em>The General Offensive and Uprising of Tet Mau Than 1968</em>) was one of the largest military campaigns of the Vietnam War, launched on January 30, 1968 by forces of the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese People's Army of the Republic of Vietnam against the forces of the South Vietnamese Army of the Republic of Vietnam, the United States Armed Forces, and their allies.

The offensive shocked the U. S. public and had a strong effect on the U. S. government. Americans had thought that the North Vietnamese were being defeated and were incapable of launching such an ambitious attack. Public support for the war significantly decreased, the media became more critical and the U.S. sought negotiations to end the war.

What were the causes of French Revolution ?

serious [3.7K]

Cultural: The Enlightenment philosophy desacralized the authority of the monarchy and the Catholic Church, and promoted a new society based on reason instead of traditions.
Social: The emergence of an influential bourgeoisie which was formally part of the Third Estate (commoners) but had evolved into a caste with its own agenda and aspired to political equality with the clergy (First Estate) and the aristocracy (Second Estate).
Financial: France's debt, aggravated by French involvement in the American Revolution, led Louis XVI to implement new taxations and to reduce privileges.
Political: Louis XVI faced strong opposition from provincial parlements which were the spearheads of the privileged classes' resistance to royal reforms.
Economic: The deregulation of the grain market, advocated by liberal economists, resulted in an increase in bread prices. In periods of bad harvests, it would lead to food scarcity which would prompt the masses to revolt.
