  1. Why did many Americans feel that the result of the 1824 elections was fraudulent?

D. As Speaker of the House, Henry Clay helped John Quincy Adams become president; later Adams appointed Clay secretary of states

In the electoral vote, Jackson had received 94 votes, he was 15 points above Adams, with eighty-four, however, he didn't have the majority needed of the Presidential Electoral votes to win the election, as it is stated in the Constitution. Therefore the decision was now up to the House of the Representatives. This election was considered highly corrupt since it is believed that Henry Clay, Speaker of the House, used his position to influence the election's outcome and make Adams the new President. When Adams was officially the president of the U.S., he made Clay his Secretary of State.

        2. Why did some people oppose the spoils system?

A. It was possible that an unqualified person could receive a government job.

Andrew Jackson's presidency, in 1829, was harshly criticized for abusing of the spoils system, by giving federal jobs and high-range positions in the government to his supporters and friends, who didn't necessarily have to be qualified to work in those positions.

         3. During the time of President Andrew Jackson, which group in the United States gained suffrage?

B. Men who did not own property.

During Jackson's period the voting rights were extended to all WHITE men over 18 years old, meaning that the requirement of owning a property to have the right to vote, was no longer valid.

1. The correct answer is <span>C. Andrew Jackson won the majority of electoral votes, but he did not win the most popular votes; therefore he did not become president. This is the first (and so far, the last) time in American history that the person who won the majority of electoral votes didn't become president. Jackson would become president in 1829.

2. The correct answer is </span><span>A. It was possible that an unqualified person could receive a government job. The spoils system was deeply ingrained in the ideology of Jackson's supporters. It happens when the newly elected government gives sinecures and government jobs to its most ardent followers, thus rewarding them for their loyalty. Of course, the natural consequence is that the most loyal people get the best jobs, regardless of their competence or qualifications.

3. The correct answer is </span><span>B. men who did not own property. But in practice, this meant all white men. At this point in history, it was far too early to talk about black men or women getting suffrage. Before Jackson, only white men who had property could vote. He wanted to put a stop to it, advocating the rights of "the common man", against the relics of old aristocratic traditions.</span>

Answer:The churches at Lindisfarne was the preeminent middle of Christianity within the kingdom of Northumbria. The occasion sent tremors all through English Christendom and stamped the starting of the Viking Age in Europe. Viking; Lindisfarne Strike Viking ships arriving in Britain as delineated in an English enlightened original copy. Lindisfarne Strike. Lindisfarne Strike, (June 8, 793), Viking attack on the cloister of Lindisfarne ( Sacred Island ), off the northeast coast of Britain at Northumbria, that sent shockwaves through Anglo-Saxon Britain and the Christian West and which is prevalently cited as the starting of the Viking Age in Britain. It was a triumphant day for men who took cruise to the West, but for Christians, it was very the inverse. Their pioneers accepted that the Viking Attack on Lindisfarne was sent to Britain by God to rebuff individuals for their wicked lives and interminable wrongdoings.

What was happening in america in 1497-1502?
Stolb23 [73]
<span><span><span>An important expedition to the east leaves Lisbon in 1497. In July Vasco da Gama sails south in his flagship, the St Gabriel, accompanied by three other vessels. In late November the little fleet rounds the Cape of Good Hope. Soon they are further up the east coast of Africa than Dias ventured ten years earler. In March they reach Mozambique. They are excited to find Arab vessels in the harbour, trading in gold, silver and spices, and to hear that Prester John is alive and well, living somewhere inland. 

In the well-established Portuguese tradition, da Gama has on board a good supply of stone pillars. He sets one up in each new territory, to claim it for his king. 
</span> <span>








</span></span>
<span><span>The real prize lies ahead, a dangerous journey away, across the Indian Ocean. At Malindi, on the coast of Kenya, a pilot is found who knows the route northeast to Calicut, an important trading centre in southern India. 

After twenty-three days Calicut is safely reached. Da Gama is welcomed by the local Hindu ruler, who must surely wonder why his guest is so keen to erect a stone pillar. 
</span> <span>






</span></span>
<span><span>Da Gama spends three months in Calicut before sailing back to Africa. Adverse winds extend the crossing this time from three weeks to three months, and before the African coast is reached many of the crew die of scurvy -- a first glimpse of one of the problems of ocean travel. 

Da Gama arrives back in Lisbon in September 1499, more than two years after his departure. He is richly rewarded by the king, Manuel I, with honours, money and land. He has not managed to conclude a treaty with the ruler of Calicut. But he has proved that trade with the east by sea is possible. Manuel moves quickly to seize the opportunity. 
</span> <span>






</span></span>
<span><span>Six months later, in March 1500, the king sends Pedro Cabral on the same journey. He takes such a curving westerly route through the Atlantic that he chances upon the coast of Brazil (an accident with its own significant results). This time a warehouse is established in Calicut, but the Portuguese left there to run it are murdered. To avenge this act, da Gama is sent east again in 1502. He bombards Calicut from mortars aboard his ship. With this clear evidence of Portuguese power a treaty becomes available. 

These events, east and west in India and Brazil, provide the basis of the Portuguese empire, with all its rich opportunities for future traders and missionaries.
