Answer:

The most famous speech in American political history was delivered by William Jennings Bryan on July 9, 1896, at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The issue was whether to endorse the free coinage of silver at a ratio of silver to gold of 16 to 1. (This inflationary measure would have increased the amount of money in circulation and aided cash-poor and debt-burdened farmers.) After speeches on the subject by several U.S. Senators, Bryan rose to speak. The thirty-six-year-old former Congressman from Nebraska aspired to be the Democratic nominee for president, and he had been skillfully, but quietly, building support for himself among the delegates. His dramatic speaking style and rhetoric roused the crowd to a frenzy. The response, wrote one reporter, “came like one great burst of artillery.” Men and women screamed and waved their hats and canes. “Some,” wrote another reporter, “like demented things, divested themselves of their coats and flung them high in the air.” The next day the convention nominated Bryan for President on the fifth ballot. The full text of William Jenning Bryan’s famous “Cross of Gold” speech appears below. The audio portion is an excerpt. [Note on the recording: In 1896 recording technology was in its infancy, and recording a political convention would have been impossible. But in the early 20th century, the fame of Bryan’s “Cross of Gold” speech led him to repeat it numerous times on the Chautauqua lecture circuit where he was an enormously popular speaker. In 1921 (25 years after the original speech), he recorded portions of the speech for Gennett Records in Richmond, Indiana. Although the recording does not capture the power and drama of the original address, it does allow us to hear Bryan delivering this famous speech.]

Frankish

Ostrogothic

Anglo-Saxon

Explanation:

The fall of the Roman Empire rests upon the attacks of Germanic barbarian tribes. Germanic groups such as the Visigoths, Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Franks, took turns destroying the Western Roman Empire. The Germanic Tribes eventually divided Roman holding provinces areas to settle down and formed kingdoms. In 476 C.E., Odoacer became King of Italy and the first barbarian to rule. Various Germanic tribes migrated into other regions. Many Germanic tribes merged, including the Angles with the Saxons in England, Clovis established the Frankish kingdom with established Catholicism in western Europe and Theodoric, Ostrogoths king, established  Ravenna as capital.

Categorize the new behavior of recently converted Britons
tatyana61 [14]
Recently converted Britons, if we're talking about the Middle ages and the wave of christenings that were occuring at the time, then we can say that they were at first somewhat reluctant about their new faith. Over time, however, they had grown accustomed to it and respected it deeply.

irakobra [83]

One of the greatest controversies of the Renaissance would be the idea of Humanism, which is the idea that humans can be good people. The church leaders at that time didn't like this idea because they didn't have the power over people that they used to have when they could say, "God hates you because humans are sinful, so you have to do everything we tell you to gain His forgiveness," and other stuff like that.
