1 answer:

4 0

Before New York was possessed by the English, it was controlled by the Dutch. Under Dutch rule, this territory was actually called New Amsterdam.

New York gained possession of this territory after Dutch Governor Peter Stuyvesant surrendered it to the English army. There was very little resistance when this territory was surrendered in 1664, as Stuyvesant was an unpopular Dutch ruler and lacked the support need to keep England from taking over this territory.

Vitek1552 [10]

The correct answer is:

A violent or destructive protest

According to the law of rights, everyone is allowed to join a protest but in a peaceful manner. In case, the protest leads to extremism, then the government is authorized to take necessary actions, with the help of law enforcement officials, in order to control the situation. And hence the protestors can be arrested and accused of violating the rule of laws.

Broad Context: The "Big Picture" is that the US is trying to annex the Republic of Texas as part of their states, and that Texas already shared many common traits (why? part) with the US, and should join as a state of their choosing, (which means slave or free) (How? part).
Other Context: The adding of Texas into the US (eventually as a slave state) offsetted the balance between the slaves and free states, and so California (gained after the Mexican-American War) was turned into a free state. Texas was the cause of the Texas Revolution & later on the (already named) Mexican-American War. The adding of Texas, and later the Gadsen Purchase, help create today's US southern border that is shared with Mexico.
