Answer:

In 1908, a New England mill became the first American factory to institute the five-day week. It did so to accommodate Jewish workers, whose observance of a Saturday sabbath forced them to make up their work on Sundays, offending some in the Christian majority.

The First Great Awakening of the 1730s and 1740s was primarily a A movement to increase colonial loyalty to the British monarchy
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

B revival of evangelical religion that spread through the colonies.

Explanation:

Over the years, new generations have lost the vision and religious fervor of the pioneers. The growing economic prosperity and intellectual advancement resulted in a progressive numbness of the spiritual life. In the midst of this state of affairs, many people began to pray for a revitalization of the churches and their members. It was common for preachers to mourn the decline of spirituality and to urge their faithful to pray for revival. These aspirations began to be met outside New England, in the central colonies. This generated a deep need to bring the faithful back to religious life, leading preachers and priests to preach fervently. Thus was born the First Great Awakening, a period of high religious activity, mainly in the United Kingdom and in the colonies of North America.

Reflect on what you have learned about Westward Expansion in the United States. Think about the territories acquired, the trails
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The acquiring of the territories gave the United States justification to send out immigrants into those territories and settle the land along the trails created by traders and trappers beforehand. These immigrants and other workers then set up the Transcontinental Railroad to facilitate trade and transport back and forth from the west coast to the east.

Oración oracional... ¿o exclamativa?

Explanation:

I didn´t know <em>Oración oracional </em>exists. It doesn´t sound right to me. I prefer the term <em>Oración exclamativa</em> used by Larousse in order to express direct speech, using quotation-, question- or exclamation marks.

But the lines with exclamation marks, as shown in the answer, cannot be considered sentences (oraciones) because they lack the presence of a verb. So I´m a little bit puzzled. I do know that there are three phrases (<em>frases)</em> that are not complete sentences: the two lines mentioned above and <em>Gran error.</em>

nalin [4]

Answer:

Legalism

Explanation:

Legalism is a Chinese philosophy. This was the philosophy used by Qin Shi Huangdi, the founder of Qin Dynasty. Unlike other philosophies, legalism focuses on "social order." This means that, in order to achieve a good order in the society, the society has to be grounded on rules. This allowed the government to be powerful during this era because people needed to follow the rule all the time. If they commit any wrongdoing, they will be punished which became a threat to the society. This made the philosophy very unpopular, especially that it was considered above all other religious doctrines.
