James Madison was one of the founding fathers of the United States and the 4th president. He believed that Great Britain represented a greater threat than France because, as a former ruler of America, it still had commercial interests regarding these territories.

Great Britain had executed a Naval Blockade against France during the Napoleonic wars. This prevented any other country, including the United States, to engage in trade with the French. Many incidents regarding American civilian sailors and British Navy officials occurred due to this blockade, including the impressment of them into the British Navy in order to support the blockade. This triggered Madison's decision to declare war, which is justified as the blockade was hurting the commercial interests and economy of the United States.

Which event from the 20th century best illustrates Alexis de Tocqueville's assertion that liberty was key to the United States'
anygoal [31]

Answer:  B. The US government exempted the Amish, who do not believe in government assistance, from paying Social Security taxes.

Alexis de Tocqueville's concern for liberty had to do with personal liberties -- with freedom of conscience and belief being protected in a constitutional republic.  By respecting the rights of the Amish to exempt themselves from the Social Security system, the government of the United States is allowing them to have liberty of their beliefs.  They don't pay into the Social Security system, and also do not receive benefits from it.  They choose to care for themselves and one another in the Amish community.

Alexis de Tocqueville's famous work was published in the 1830s.  Based on his travels in the early United States, he wrote <em>Democracy in America, </em>in which he detailed how a democratic society functions.

How did the strategies of the Union and Confederacy differ during the Civil War? In your response, be sure to include the tactic
Marat540 [252]

At the beginning of the war, the Confederacy chose a more defensive strategy while the Union chose an offensive strategy. The defensive strategy of the Confederacy did not work against the strength of the Union army and the Union was able to make successful raids on Confederate territory. After a while, the Confederate army grew weaker and the Confederate President Jefferson Davis decided to switch to an offensive-defensive strategy that allowed Confederate territories to be protected but also allowed for strategic offensives or counteroffensives. The Confederacy didn't want to take Union territory, they just wanted to survive and defend it's right to secede. The strategies of the Confederacy could not work against the strength of the United States.

The Civil War revolutionized the concept of war. There were many technological advancements including the telegraph, railroads, trench warfare, hot air balloons, and ironclads. In my opinion, the most important of these was the telegraph. This invention allowed almost instant long-distance communication. If an armies telegraph wasn't working the outcome of the battle could dramatically change. The Union had a more reliable telegraph system than the Confederates, this could have been a major contribution to the North's victory. While railroads were invented in 1825, they were never really popular before the Civil War. During the Civil War, both North and South could move men, weapons, and food to there armies. The first balloon flight was in 1783. The Civil War was the first war to use air balloons for reconnaissance and artillery spotting. Trench Warfare was introduced during the war which prolonged fighting. Ironclads drastically advanced naval warfare because they were nearly impossible to sink.
