Answer:

The correct answer is D. American colonists convened the Continental Congress to settle on a response to public protests against British treatment of the colonies.

Explanation:

The Continental Congress consisted of delegates from the 13 colonies of British North America who wanted to defend themselves against restrictions on the freedom of their citizens. Since the Congress met between 1774 and 1789, its founding immediately preceded the American War of Independence.

The first Continental Congress met from September 5, 1774 to October 26, 1774 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Measures against the Intolerable Acts were passed and letters were sent directly to George III. The main topics of this congress were a declaration of solidarity from all colonies and the imposition of a one-year ban on exports and imports to Great Britain. An important adviser was the future second president of the United States, John Adams; Virginia's representative was George Washington.

Answer:

The amendment prohibiting slavery was ratified by the US Congress in 1865, after it was adopted by the necessary three quarters of the states (27 of the 36 existing then). The Thirteenth Amendment prohibited slavery and forced labor, except for punishing a crime. In particular, section IV of article IV was also amended, which had previously forbidden to facilitate the escape of slaves. However, some southern states at first refused to accept the amendment and did so only after some time.

Answer:

C ) The equator divides Africa between the Eastern and western Hemisphere.

Explanation:

The continent is cut almost equally in two by the Equator, so that most of Africa lies within the tropical region, bounded on the north by the Tropic of Cancer and on the south by the Tropic of Capricorn. Because of the bulge formed by western Africa, the greater part of Africa's territory lies north of the Equator.
