WASHINGTON — For a piece of history that gave us the rockets' red glare and bombs bursting in air, the War of 1812 tends to evoke a collective "Huh?" on the U.S. side of the border with Canada.

"The War of 1812 has no compelling narrative that appeals to the average American,'' said Jerald Podair, a history professor at Lawrence University in Wisconsin. "It's just a hodgepodge of buildings burning, bombs bursting in air and paintings being saved from the invaders, all for a vaguely defined purpose. "

Yet the vacuum of interest in the War of 1812 is about to get a pyrotechnic blast of attention for its bicentennial year.

Canadians, who consider the war a pivotal conflict in their nation's history, have made 200th anniversary celebrations a national priority and are opening government coffers to stage a splashy show. Also, a few American cities and states, mostly on the East Coast and Great Lakes where fighting took place, are planning commemorations that have some brushing off their war reenactment uniforms.

For Americans who may have napped during this history lesson, the War of 1812 is a bit of a dud, historians say.

"If you ask the average American what they think about the War of 1812, some will have a puzzled look and ask who fought in that war?" said Ralph Eshelman, a Maryland historian who has written about the war in the Chesapeake Bay region. Another historian joked that about the only thing most Americans know about the War of 1812 is that it began in, well, 1812.

While some U.S. boosters believe our side won, many historians say the olo

Bit by bit, children pick up what is gender appropriate and gender inappropriate in their culture, and develop gender ________ t
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Gender schemas.

Explanation:

As the exercise explains, children pick up what is gender appropriate and gender inappropriate in their culture, and develop gender gender schemas that shape how they perceive the world and what they remember. For example, if a boy is given toy soldiers to play with, and a girl is given a house with dolls or a toy kitchen to play with, they are already building their idea of gender. This cognitive theory explains how individuals become gendered in society, having gender-associated information from the earliest memories, transforming then into a particular view of society.

In general, regions influenced by high pressure, with its associated subsidence and divergent winds, experience ________ conditi
natka813 [3]

Answer:

dry

Explanation:

According to my research on different climate conditions, I can say that based on the information provided within the question these regions generally experience dry conditions. This is because the high pressure does not allow for much evaporation and the little water that is evaporated and forms clouds are then blown to other regions by divergent winds.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
