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.

Why is Akbar called Akbar The Great? Give 3 reasons Will mark as brainliest if proper answer

kherson [118]

Answer:

Akbar is called Akbar the Great because of his many accomplishments, most of which were military-related. His unbeaten record in military campaigns established the Mughal rule in the Indian subcontinent. During his reign, Mughal firearms came to be far superior. Akbar the Great also managed to extend the reach of the Mughal dynasty far into the Indian subcontinent and centralize his administration. He also incorporated non-Muslims into the empire’s realm. Despite the fact that his grandfather began the Mughal conquest, Akbar was the one who solidified all of the empire’s hold on its people.
