Describe what happened in Kansas that led newspapers to write about ''Bleeding Kansas.''

History
1 answer:
Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago
5 0
In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed. This law allowed both of these territories to become states. However, before officially becoming a state, the federal government gave them the option to vote on whether Kansas/Nebraska would be a free or slave state. This is what causes "Bleeding Kansas."

Thousands of individuals vote, with the initial results showing that Kansas would be a slave state. However, individuals against slavery, cried foul as citizens from Missouri (a slave state) came over the border and illegally voted in the election. The people who did not want slavery refused to settle on this issue and violence broke out all over Kansas. This fighting between people who did and did not want slavery caused extreme violence and death. This is why it is called "Bleeding Kansas."

1.) Sourcing: Keeping in mind George Marshall's perspective and background, why might he be a reliable source on the needs of Eu
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

1. First hand experience of poverty.

2. The United States was not invaded nor thoroughly destroyed.

3. Economic help.

Explanation:

1. Marshall came from a settler family in Virginia. His father suffered financial difficulties when George entered the Military Institute.

2. Marshall, who served in the first and in the second world war, had a more than average knowledge of the European continent. For him, having seen the destruction of Europe after world war II, he was aware that it might be difficult to explain the needs of millions of Europeans to Americans save at home in a country that didn´t suffer (civilians) like other countries did.

3. As my (grand)parents in the Netherlands once told me, the most difficult years of the world war came when it ended. There was nothing to eat.

The Netherlands, like most devastated European countries, urgently needed economically help in order to build up what was utterly destroyed.

Tip: look for the movie Europe by Lars von Trier.
