Why were Democrats angry after the presidential election of 1876?
zavuch27 [327]

The 1876 elections infuriated the Democrats because they thought their candidate had truly won.

Democrats believed that Samuel J. Tilden, their candidate, had won the election, which was made worse by the fact that he had a larger share of the popular vote. Rutherford B. Hayes managed to negotiate despite this and win the Electoral college. The votes were settled by an informal, "back-room" agreement known as the Compromise of 1877.

In exchange for the Republicans agreeing to evacuate federal troops from the South, which put an end to Reconstruction, the Democrats granted to Hayes 20 of the disputed electoral votes, giving him an 185–184 win.

Republican Hayes lost the popular vote to Democratic Tilden in the 1876 election, which the Republicans won with 1 electoral vote. People were nevertheless opposed to Hayes' close victory, and many Democrats expressed concerns, which had an impact on Reconstruction.

Choose the statement that best reflects an argument used by Chief Joseph to oppose federal assimilation.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

B. We must be allowed to live independently of the white man's society.

Explanation:

Chief Joseph did not support federal assimilation efforts and believed that this was a strong disrespect for the native community as well as a clear attempt to suppress them and remove them from the land that was rightfully theirs. He claimed that the natives just wanted to maintain their survival, regardless of what the white man thought, they did not want to stop white men, but white men, tried at all costs to exterminate them.

Because of this, we can say that option B is the one that best represents Chief Joseph's argument.

Which of the following countries of Southeast Asia has the most active volcanoes?
marysya [2.9K]

The correct option is : "<u><em>Indonesia</em></u>"

The geography of Indonesia is dominated by volcanoes that were formed by subduction zones between the Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate. Some of the volcanoes stand out for their eruptions, such as Krakatoa for its global effects in 1883, Toba for its supervolcanic eruption that occurred approximately 74,000 years ago and which was responsible for six years of volcanic winter, and Tambora for the eruption of 1815, the most violent in recorded history.

The volcanoes in Indonesia are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. The 150 volcanoes included in the following list are grouped into six geographic regions, four of which belong to the volcanoes of the fossa system of the Arco de Sonda. The other two groups are Halmahera volcanoes, including the surrounding volcanic islands and the Sulawesi volcanoes and the Sangihe islands. This last group is part of the same volcanic arc as the volcanoes of the Philippines.
