Answer:

C. Brooks resigned from office but was promptly re-elected.

Explanation:

Congressman Preston Brooks was a staunch supporter of the slavery system who was notorious for his "canning" of Republican Senator Charles Sumner. This event brought about a huge outbreak of the 'racial' issue that has been brewing between the North and the South.

Senator Sumner made a speech title "The Crime Against Kansas" which was sort of a personal tirade against Senator Andrew Butler, a distant cousin of Senator Brooks. In an attempt of defending the honor of his relative, Brooks went to Sumner's office and began to attack Sumner with a gold-tipped cane. But even though it was an inappropriate behavior for the Senator, he was given a mere fine of $300. And even though he resigned from his office, he was immediately re-elected and restored, for he was hailed a hero in the Southern states.

Name three of the four main differences between a short story and a novel
weeeeeb [17]
1. Timespan
2. Plots (events that make up the story and what leads up to the resolution)
3. Conflict complexity

Why? Well, see below!

Short stories and novels are very different, and they vary in many different categories that make up why they’re called what they’re called. One difference between these two is the timespans set. In short stories, the timespan tends to be very short because as mentioned, it is a short story. The plot is kept simple, and a short solution to a problem is identified and put into action. The next difference is plot (and subplots). Plots are a huge difference between these two because in a short story, little capacity of description is provided, whereas in a novel, the plot is described more in depth. It typically is more reasonable to read a novel because the plot familiarizes itself with the reader, which results in a better comprehension of how the problem is brought about and solved. The final difference is conflict complexity. This is a big difference as well between novels and short stories because in a novel, the conflict is less timely and more descriptive. The protagonist may often encounter more conundrums in the path of solving one, which would make the general conflict more difficult to solve. If you need extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

KonstantinChe [14]

<u>All of the following factors probably helped account for the increase in the European population between 1000 and 1300 excep</u>t the monopolization of women by the elite. The dramatic increase in European population between 1000 and 1300 was primarily due to an increased birth rate outstripping high medieval mortality rates. Between the years 1000 and 1300 it is estimated that Europe's population doubled. It was a dynamic and remarkable period, Europe experienced one of the longest periods of sustained growth in human history. And this growth was crucial to the political/cultural achievements of this period.

<em>The High Middle Ages (1000-1300) was marked as a period of intellectual flowering.</em>
