Answer: CARPETBAGGERS

Explanation:

During the postwar period in the South, the positions in the government were almost exclusively divided between white Northern Republicans, those men were labeled by their opposition as "Carpetbaggers". In essence, they were northerners who supposedly hurried to the Southern states with all their carpetbags to seize the political spoils and improve their economic and political situation. Numerous other carpetbaggers were educators, social workers, or missionaries motivated by a sincere missionary impulse.

The term “carpetbaggers” refers to Northerners who moved to the South after the Civil War, during Reconstruction. Many carpetbaggers were said to have moved South for their own financial and political gains.

densk [106]

Answer:

If I were king George:

I would welcome American delegates who had traveled to London to listen to their complaints about the behavior of British authorities and the taxes.  I´d promise them to reflect upon their views and complaints and take a decision regarding taxes and ask army commanders for suggestions to improve the soldiers´ relationships with the colonists. In reality, I would make some concessions and improvements, I could ease the tax burden but only a little, as the finances of the empire were in bad shape after the Seven Years War with France and having to defend more territory in the New World.

Cite two geographic differences between Washington state and Florida
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The state of Florida and the state of Washington are located in totally opposite places from the continental United States: Florida is in the extreme southeast, while Washington is located in the extreme northwest of the country. The distance between the two states, in turn, is approximately 3,000 miles, with which the climatic conditions between both vary enormously.

Thus, in Florida there is a predominantly tropical and subtropical climate, with very hot summers and mostly cool to cool winters (except in the northern part, where there may be cooler temperatures); while Washington has an oceanic climate, with hot summers and cold winters, with usual snowfall.

Furthermore, due to its location near the tropics and the Caribbean Sea, Florida is an area with the usual tropical storms that affect its coastal cities; while Washington does not suffer this situation because it is located in a colder climate.

The correct answer is C. John Locke<span>.

John Locke wrote a famous book, called Two Treatises of Government, in which he explains his philosophies on how governments should be structured. In this book, he discusses several different ideas such as the concept of natural rights, the ability of citizens to overthrow a tyrannical government, and how the source of government power lies in its citizens.
