History

The Tower of London was built in the year 1078 by King William, Duke of Normandy.

This Tower is more than 1000 years old and is the oldest palace, fortress and prison in Europe. History tells us that King Edward of England failed to keep a promise to give his throne to William, Duke of Normandy but instead gave it to Harold Godwinson, his English brother in law.

William became angry and sent his army across the English channel to conquer England and on October 14, 1066 he fought with Harold and won the battle. Later that year on Christmas day, William was crowned King.

To keep the unruly citizens of  London in line,  he decided he needed a stronghold and so he built the Tower to act as his fortress.

With time, other smaller towers, extra buildings, walls, and walkways were added gradually transforming the original building into the splendid example of castle, fortress, prison, palace and finally museum that we enjoy today.

The Tower of London is a  tourists attraction today.

What did the Adams-Onís Treaty do? a. It officially ended the Second Seminole War. b. It gave East Florida to the United States.
DIA [1.3K]
From what I can recall, the Adams-Onis Treaty more or less gave Florida to the U.S. but it did not exactly end the Second Seminole War, which can be made obvious with the fact that there are Seminoles still living in Florida. I don't remember the Treaty having anything to do with the British since this treaty was between Spain and the U.S.


Basically, I believe the answer is B.

What the answer to this question by explain it
uysha [10]

Answer:

First off the railroads allowed people to be transported from one city to another in half the time from them walking. This allowed families to see each other and friends to visit. However one problem was how African Americans were treated they were sat in different train cars because of their skin color making a huge drift between whites and African Americans. Nature was affected because trees had to be removed to build the railroads and many forests suffered because of this. Not to mention the smoke from the trains which would pollute the air. Hope this helps.
