Assyrian king Shalmaneser V, 727-722 BC deported Israel into captivity in 723 BC, but died the following year.

b. Sargon II (Assyria) 722-705 BC sends a group of Assyrians to inhabit Samaria/Israel but YHWH kills them with lions which they interpret as an omen.

c. The Assyrians living in Israel ask Sargon II for a priest of Bethel who had been recently deported.

d. We don't know this priest's name but he must have been prominent, given he was chosen by Sargon II to represent the God of Israel.

e. What Sargon II did not know was that this was an evil priest… the very likes of whom God had destroyed the ten tribes to begin with due to the very idolatry he was now promoting again at Bethel after the 723 deportation.

f. At Bethel, following in the footsteps of Jeroboam (923 BC), idol worship stood beside the true worship of YHWH down to the Babylonian captivity of 587 BC.

g. After the return of Judah, the Samaritans ceased to worship idols, but they invented a brand new alternate religion where they chose Mt. Gerizim as their holy mountain in direct opposition to Jerusalem. This action was a continuation of Jeroboam's policy of separating the ten northern tribes from the one true God at Jerusalem. His famous quote: "It is too far for you to go up to Jerusalem… worship at Bethel or Dan" says it all.

h. The "Samaritans" intermarried with the pagans, a point of contention between them and the pure blooded Jews, that continued down to the woman at the well of John 4.

i. The Samaritans, therefore represented all the worst of the Jews in that they opposed God's choice of David, Jerusalem and polluted their bloodlines which forever disqualified them from producing the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

j. The woman at the well was told by Jesus that they were totally wrong and in error: "Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. “You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews." (John 4:21-22)

Mark three ways the attitudes of the United States changed after World War I. It lost interest in progressive causes. It had mor

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Options A, C, E.

Here is why:

It lost interest in progressive causes.

Before and during World War I, many people who were progressive supported the war. Woodrow Wilson, who was the president of the United States at the time, made it seem like World War I was the "war of all wars" and it would end violence around the world. This seems very contradicting, but progressives believed in what he was saying along with other citizens. All of this caused progressivism to fall after World War I, as people started to realize the cruelty and death that happened during the war and associated being progressive with wanting war.

It wanted to return to a normal lifestyle.

After World War I was over, many American citizens just wanted to return to a normal lifestyle. World War I came with many casualties, hardships, and cost the United States a lot of money. Many people were tired and wanted to return back to normal and wanted to avoid another huge conflict. This caused the debate if whether or not the United States should back away from foreign affairs and even try to ignore them.

It was very concerned with the question of isolationism or internationalism.

Although some people in the United States wanted to back away from foreign affairs, isolationism and internationalism was always a question. Isolationism is the act of ignoring and not getting involved in foreign affairs and wars, even if a friendly foreign country needed help. Some people wanted this, as they didn't want anymore American casualties and debt and wanted to always remain in a normal and comfortable lifestyle. Internationalism is the exact opposite and is the act of getting involved in everything important in outside affairs and occurrences. Many people argued that this was correct, as it was important that America evolved with the country to exert and bring peace and prevent wrong doings, harmful ideologies and some countries from becoming too powerful.

The rights against unreasonable search and seizure, as well as against the quartering of soldiers, imply which of the rights lis

atroni [7]

Search and seizure would mean something like the government taking your cell phone and going through every message you've ever sent, or entering your home and searching through all your dresser drawers. They need to have a court-approved reasonable cause for doing something that invasive.
Quartering of soldiers would mean soldiers would have the right to enter your home and expect you to provide them food and lodging. That's pretty invasive too.
In either case, we're talking about invasions of your privacy, your personal space. Court justices have used statements like those about search and seizure and quartering of soldiers to show that the constitution does give attention to citizen's right to privacy, even if not using the exact term "right to privacy."

What was the reason that thousands of japanese americans voluntarily joined the us military during world war ii?

sveticcg [70]

Answer: To show loyalty to the U.S., gain upward mobility and/or Citizenship

Explanation: During World War II, many Americans of Japanese descent volunteered to join the U.S. military. This was in spite of growing sentiments against them as well as internment of Japanese Americans in camps.

It was a way to show loyalty to the U.S. For some it was the only way to gain citizenship, as well as move up the social ranks as ethnic minority groups had limited rights. They were first rejected, with the exception of bilingual Japanese Americans who helped with translation and interrogation.
