raketka [301]

Romulus and Remus, two twin brothers founded the city of Rome. However, the twins had an argument about where to start Rome. Romulus favored the Palatine Hill, but Remus favored the Aventine Hill.

They decided to settle the disagreement by asking the gods. Each brother stood on his respective hill. Remus saw six birds fly overhead, and Romulus saw twelve. However, Remus countered that he had seen the birds first.

Nonetheless, Romulus started to build a wall around his city. Then, Remus jumped over the wall as an insult to his brother. Angered, Romulus killed Remus. He regretted it, and took Remus to Amulius's palace, and buried him there.

Answer

The war was fought in Nigeria between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations to the Igbo people whose leadership at the time felt like they could no longer coexist with the northern dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, ethnic, cultural, economic and religious tensions, which later preceded Britains formal decolonization of Nigeria.

Which best summarizes the effect of quaker beliefs on the settlement in the middle colonies?
Olegator [25]

Hm - well without seeing your text, I can only go on what I know about Quakers. I believe A to be the best choice because Quakers welcomed other faiths and races. And they were not fighters, so their colonies were free of some of the conflict that the other colonies had. They befriended the natives.

Quakers were very humble so B & D do not fit.

C. is the only other one causing me to think because they did have slaves, but when I look that up I don't see anywhere that states it resulted in a large number of Africans in the area.

So I believe A is the best choice.
