History

On June 12, 1812, the United States declared war on Great as a result of numerous disputes between the two countries. The British continuously engaged in impressment and forced US citizens to serve in the Royal Navy. The British also attacked the USS Chesapeake and this nearly caused a war two year earlier. Additionally, disputes continued with Great Britain over the Northwest Territories and the border with Canada. Finally, Great Britain's blockade of France during the Napoleonic Wars served as a constant source of conflict with the United States.

.

At the dawn of 1812 the United States was heading inexorably towards war. The United States had a list of complaints against the British; from the continued impressment of its sailors, the seizing of its ships, and the belief the British were fomenting Indian rebellions on the Northwest frontier. All of these were sufficient reasons to go to war. In addition, there was always a contingent of colonists who wanted to attempt to conquer Canada.

The problem was that the United States Army and Navy were not up to the task of fighting the British. At the start of 1812 the US Army had only 4,000 officers and men. At that same time the Navy consisted of five frigates, three sloops and seven brigs. However, Britain was engaged in a World War with France under Napoleon. As a result British forces were stretched rather thin.

<span>B) belief in religious equality of all people. Let's take a look at the available options and see what makes sense and what doesn't given our knowledge of Sikhism, Hinduism, and Islam. A) belief in a single god. * Islam believes in a single God. So this is obviously not the correct answer. B) belief in religious equality of all people. * Not entirely certain about this option. My first impression is that it's the correct answer simply because the radical believers in Islam seem so focused on the "non-believers" needing to be converted, or killed. So I did a quick google search on Sikhism and its tenets. And immediately found the following "Somewhat unique among the world's religions, Sikhism rejects the notion that any religion, even theirs, holds a monopoly on ultimate spiritual truth." So this is definitely the correct answer. C) belief in existence of a single founder of the religion. * Islam believes in the founder being Muhammad. So this is also not the correct answer. D) belief in the rebirth of souls after death. * Islam believes in an after life and Hinduism believes in reincarnation. So this is also a bad choice.</span>

"The material conditions of the transition [to capitalism in the first half of the nineteenth century] may have given rise, not
vodka [1.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

A. An claim that can be found in the text is that women, unlike men, had to adopt heavier working hours, as they had to work both outside the home (to meet the demand of capitalism), as they had to work inside the house, assuming long and exhausting working hours, as domestic work continued to be done by them. This can be seen in the lines "[...] but to an expanded dependence on the market labor of women, performed both within and outside the household."

C. The text shows that the beginning of capitalism did not exclude women from the labor market, but became dependent on them. We can refute this argument, showing that in the first half of the 19th century, women received much lower wages than men and needed authorization from their father or husband to work, in addition to having no labor support in case of pregnancy or accidents, which shows that there was, in fact, a discouragement and an attempt to stop women in the work market.
