The correct answer is A. The massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 occurred in response to the spread of the Ghost Dance movement. The massacre at Wounded Knee was the last major battle of the Indian Wars of the late 19th century. By the end of the 19th century, the Sioux Indians had lost the struggle to defend their territory and way of life against the expansionist United States. Half-starving and desperate, they embraced the Ghost Dance, which promised to restore the Indigenous world as it was before the arrival of the white man, making the invaders disappear. The US authorities believed the Ghost Dance was a war dance and a possible cover for an Indian uprising; consequently, they decided to suppress the movement. On December 29, 1890, the U.S. Army’s Seventh Cavalry surrounded a group of Ghost Dancers near Wounded Knee Creek and ordered them to surrender their weapons. Meanwhile, a fight broke out between a young Indian and a U.S. soldier, a shot was fired, and a brutal massacre followed, in which it is estimated that 300 Sioux were killed, nearly half of them were women and children. The Cavalry lost 25 men.

A historical source can be deemed unreliable if the author appears to unfairly favor a particular side or view point
alisha [4.7K]
The correct answer is Bias.


A trustworthy source is one that passes factual
knowledge without much bias (where Bias
means holding an unfair or fallacious opinion). In
simple terms, Bias is giving preference for one
thing over another. A source is fully reliable if it
does not show bias. History is a subject where
people reveal their opinions, hence, we have to
be very cautious while going through history.
However, Bias in the source does not
automatically make a source untrue or incorrect.
Recognizing which side the source favors only
allow us to highlight the gaps in the information.

What methods did Roosevelt use to aid Britain in its struggle with Nazi Germany, while still technically keeping the US neutral?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer 1: Although constrained by powerful isolationist sentiment in the United States, President Roosevelt was determined to help democratic Great Britain continue the war against Nazi Germany. Even as he promised to keep the United States neutral in the European war, Roosevelt ordered the expansion of military construction and pledged--as shown in this footage--that the United States would serve as the "great arsenal of democracy." In March 1941, Congress approved Lend-Lease aid for Britain. Britain ultimately received over 31 billion dollars in military aid from the United states. The United States finally entered World War II after the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

Answer 2: The effect was Roosevelt soon took advantage of his authority under the new law, ordering large quantities of U.S. food and war materials to be shipped to Britain from U.S. ports through the new Office of Lend-Lease Administration. The supplies dispersed under the Lend-Lease Act ranged from tanks, aircraft, ships, weapons and road building supplies to clothing, chemicals and food.
