History

Mashcka [7]3 years ago

Answer:

1. The most important requests include;

a. The repeal of the statutes and regulations imposed by the King on the colonists.

b. The request for peace between the King and the Subjects so as to avoid the outbreak of war.

2. The British American Colonists are seeking peaceful independence from the King's rule.

3. They speak respectfully of the King and the Parliament asserting their loyalty to his rule.

4. They seem to blame the King. This is because of his imposition of exorbitant taxes and levies ensuing from the Stamp Act on the people.

5. I would have considered their request for peace by inviting them to a meeting where their grievances would be discussed.

Explanation:

The Olive Branch Petition written by John Dickinson was drafted at a time when the colonists were seeking independence from the King. This was as a result of the sufferings they were made to undergo, stemming from the high taxes imposed on them to compensate the dwindling resources spent by the King in the war with France. They clearly wanted independence but without the consequence of war.  They also were asserting loyalty to the King. This seemed like two requests that could be hardly granted at the same time.

King George III did not read the letters not to talk of granting the request for he already declared war on the colonists prior to the time when they tendered the letters.

On which fact does the historical perspective of the two passages differ?
padilas [110]

Answer:

<u>the cause of Otzi's death</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

We note in the first passage that there's a brief description of the Killer, at least mention was made of the killer thereby <em>giving the reader a sense of what caused Otzi"s death.</em>

However, the second passage uses indirect language to describe not the killer but the sufferings of Otzi, thereby creating a difference in historical perspective on the cause of Otzi's death.

Arrange the events in the correct order. Tiles Moctezuma II welcomed the Spanish, thinking that Cortés was the human incarnation
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

1. Cortes marched up the coast of Mexico and conquered Veracruz

2. Cortes established alliances with enemies of the Aztecs

3. Moctezuma II welcomed the Spanish

4. Cortes and his men brought smallpox to Tenochtitlan

Explanation:

Cortes first arrived in the south of Mexico and had a brief encounter with the Maya.  From there he continued up the coast until he reached Veracruz where he founded the first Spanish settlement.  It was here that Cortes learned of the powerful Aztecs and about the many enemies they had among the prehispanic groups that had been conquered by them.  Cortes had very few men with him so he knew he could not defeat the powerful Aztec empire alone.  He decides to make alliances with the Tlaxcaltecans and begins his march towards Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital.  When the Spanish finally arrive, Moctezuma welcomes them (though it's not true that he thought Cortes was the reincarnation of Quetzalcoatl, that is an incorrect interpretation).  Meanwhile, a new fleet of Spanish ships arrived in Veracruz and made their way to Tenochtitlan.  One of the men in this group was sick and began the massive smallpox epidemic that wiped out around half of the indigenous population.
