The correct answer is A) signing the Payne-Aldrich Tariff.

The action of President Taft that angered the progressives in his party was the signing the Payne-Aldrich Tariff.

Not all decisions that a US President makes are supported by the members of his party. That was the case of President William Taft when he signed the Payne-Aldrich Tariff of 1909 that raised tariffs of products imported in the United States such as coal an iron. The decision created a division in the Republican party. Some members of his party were really angered with Taft and did not support him in his reelection. The party was divided and Taft lost the election against Woodrow Wilson.

Is Christopher Columbus a good guy or a bad guy? Explain with details and at least 3 reasons to support your evidence. Thanks!

Anni [7]

The use of good guy or bad guy for a person doesn't make much sense.

I'll just list some major facts about Columbus and let you make your own conclusions.

Christopher Columbus believed the world was round. Others during his time didn't believe so. Columbus also thought that the world was smaller than what it actually is, principally because North America and South America were not yet discovered. Columbus went to many people and asked them to fund him, and finally the King and Queen of Spain funded him. When Columbus reached the Americas, he treated the natives harshly. He took their wealth, such as gold, etc, and made the natives slaves. And he brought back the riches of the Caribbean to Spain. Columbus never knew that he had stumbled across an undiscovered land, and instead thought he had reached India, where he was originally going for, and so he called the natives "Indians."

Hope that helped :)

Compare and contrast the union and confederacy

butalik [34]

The Union Army was larger, and was able to draw on a far larger population for replacements. The Union Army had better artillery, and was able to manufacture their own artillery. The Union's forces were made up of a far larger percentage of immigrants, and in general had good junior and mid-level officers, and a lot of rather mediocre top level officers
