History

Answer:

D. W Smith's movie, Birth of a Nation was so controversial because of many reasons.

First, it was a movie during the Civil War about two families, Union and Confederate and their relationship with each other. The movie was a blockbuster as it was viewed by more than four million people by 1922.

It was a groundbreaking movie because of its cinematography which was ahead of its time as night shots and parallel editing were used to great effect to show war scenes and also its sheer number or extras hired.

One major reason for its controversy was its blatant racism because it portrayed black men as r apists, murderers and people not deserving of human rights and are justified to be lynched.

2. Why were colonial New Englanders willing to believe accusations of witchcraft
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Because they believed that the devil was acting through witches and they believed that the devil was acting in their territories.

Explanation:

The New England region promoted many adverse situations for the colonists. The cold climate, the conflict between two native tribes in the region and the spread of smallpox cases made Puritan settlers believe that the devil was close to the region and that he would continue to act negatively on their lives.

For them the devil was able to act through witches and as the population was facing many problems (in addition to the many deaths that occurred), they began to distrust each other, which initiated a vast and crazy search for witches and signs of witchcraft in the population.

How did the north spy on the south in the civil war
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

At the start of the war, the Union didn't have a very organized spy network. Although they had a lot of spies, they were usually sent out by individual generals or leaders in the government. The information wasn't communicated very well or passed on to the people who really needed it. The Union had a distinct advantage in the war as they gained a significant amount of military intelligence from slaves and former slaves.  

As the war continued, the lead generals of the North had a spymaster who would organize and gather the information from the spy network.
