When Malcolm X states, “You couldn’t have gotten me out of books with a wedge,” what can the reader infer?
o-na [289]

The reader can infer that malcolm X had an overwhelming desire to learn

The phrase  “You couldn’t have gotten me out of books with a wedge,” was written by Malcolm X when he's describing his experience in prison.

He wrote that he basically spent all of his time in prison by reading a book. He read books on library, during breaks , and  on his bunks. He believed that even if other people threaten to beat him with a wedge if he does not stop reading the book, he'd still choose to read.

NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!! What happened in the South as a result of John Brown’s raid at Harpers Ferry? Select the two correct ans
kramer

Answer:

The correct answers are B and D. As a result of John Brown's raid at Harpers Ferry, in the South support for secession from the Union grew, and states passed laws to prevent rebellions by enslaved people.

Explanation:

John Brown was an avid abolitionist who believed that the only way to overthrow slavery was by armed insurrection. After bleeding Kansas and the Dred Scott case, in 1856 Brown attacked Pottawatomie, Kansas, where he killed five alleged slaveholders. He was then considered a criminal, but abolitionists considered him a hero. He decided to hide from the justice system and develop a plan of further action.

On October 16, 1859, with the support of about twenty people, he invaded the town of Harper’s Ferry. Brown's unit reached the town, killed the mayor and captured the armory located there. Slaves, however, did not support the uprising, while the state police and marines detached the warehouse easily and suppressed the rebellion. Some of the attackers were killed, while the rest were arrested and brought to court. Brown and his colleagues were accused of treason, conspiracy and murder, and the court sentenced them to death. The execution was carried out by hanging on December 2, 1859.

Feelings of fear over the threat of slavery and its violent suppression dominated in the south. The north of the country expressed support for Brown, which only deepened terror in the South. In addition, residents of the southern states were convinced that Republicans supported Brown's actions, which led to the decision to accelerate secession in the event of the Republican Party's victory in 1860.

mixer [17]
The answer is B. Without the United States, the League lacked the firepower to actually make a huge difference without the individual nations suffering huge consequences. In turn, the League didn't do anything, thus they were ineffective and nothing but a figurehead for democracy and international peace.
