1- NATHAN HALE --- Gave his life for his country.

Nathan Hale was a soldier of the Continental Army during the War of Independence. First American spy, he volunteered to spy on the British but was captured. Before being executed, he said: "I only regret having only one life to lose for my country." Since then Hale is considered a hero of American independence.

2- COLONEL HAMILTON --- British commander at Vincennes.

Henry Hamilton was a British colonial officer and administrator born in Ireland. He was taken prisoner during the American Revolutionary War when he was the lieutenant governor of the British Fort Sackville.

3- JOHN PAUL JONES --- Defeated British Navy.

John Paul Jones was a Scottish sailor and the first naval command of the United States in the War of Independence.

Although he made enemies among the political elites of the United States, his actions in British waters during the Revolution earned him an international reputation that persists to this day. As such, he is sometimes referred to as the "Father of the United States Navy"

4- BENEDICT ARNOLD --- Betrayed his country.

Benedict Arnold was an American general, who switched over to the British side during the War of Independence of the United States.

5- GEORGE ROGERS CLARK --- Captured the west from the British.

George Rogers Clark was a soldier from Virginia and was the highest ranking US military officer on the northwest border during the American War of Independence. Clark was a leader of the Kentucky militia (then part of Virginia) during much of the war. Clark is best known for his famous captures of Kaskaskia (1778) and Vincennes (1779), which significantly weakened the British influence in the Northwest Territory. Because the British ceded the entire Northwest Territory to the United States in 1783 through the Treaty of Paris, Clark is often referred to as the "Conqueror of the Old Northwest Territory."

What was the strategic use of Hawaii (Militarily)?
fomenos

Answer:

By the time the United States got serious about looking beyond its own borders to conquer new lands, much of the world had already been claimed. Only a few distant territories in Africa and Asia and remote islands in the Pacific remained free from imperial grasp. Hawaii was one such plum. Led by a hereditary monarch, the inhabitants of the kingdom prevailed as an independent state. American expansionists looked with greed on the strategically located islands and waited patiently to plan their move.

Foothold in Hawaii

Interest in HAWAII began in America as early as the 1820s, when New England missionaries tried in earnest to spread their faith. Since the 1840s, keeping European powers out of Hawaii became a principal foreign policy goal. Americans acquired a true foothold in Hawaii as a result of the SUGAR TRADE. The United States government provided generous terms to Hawaiian sugar growers, and after the Civil War, profits began to swell. A turning point in U.S.-Hawaiian relations occurred in 1890, when Congress approved the MCKINLEY TARIFF, which raised import rates on foreign sugar. Hawaiian sugar planters were now being undersold in the American market, and as a result, a depression swept the islands. The sugar growers, mostly white Americans, knew that if Hawaii were to be ANNEXED by the United States, the tariff problem would naturally disappear. At the same time, the Hawaiian throne was passed to QUEEN LILIUOKALANI, who determined that the root of Hawaii's problems was foreign interference. A great showdown was about to unfold.

Annexing Hawaii

In January 1893, the planters staged an uprising to overthrow the Queen. At the same time, they appealed to the United States armed forces for protection. Without Presidential approval, marines stormed the islands, and the American minister to the islands raised the stars and stripes in HONOLULU. The Queen was forced to abdicate, and the matter was left for Washington politicians to settle. By this time, Grover Cleveland had been inaugurated President. Cleveland was an outspoken anti-imperialist and thought Americans had acted shamefully in Hawaii. He withdrew the annexation treaty from the Senate and ordered an investigation into potential wrongdoings. Cleveland aimed to restore Liliuokalani to her throne, but American public sentiment strongly favored annexation.

The matter was prolonged until after Cleveland left office. When war broke out with Spain in 1898, the military significance of Hawaiian naval bases as a way station to the SPANISH PHILIPPINES outweighed all other considerations. President William McKinley signed a joint resolution annexing the islands, much like the manner in which Texas joined the Union in 1845. Hawaii remained a territory until granted statehood as the fiftieth state in 1959.

How could one of the major organization within the federal government most effectively prevent the presidents nominee from servi
Mashutka [201]

The correct answer is:

The Senate could prevent the President's nominee from serving as a federal judge, if they refuse to confirm the President's nominee.

Explanation:

Under Article II, of the United States Constitution; the President has the power to elect candidates for Supreme Court Judges, but it also states that the Senate shall advice and consent the President's decision.

Before the President can officially present his nominee, he has to follow certain steps that involve sessions in which the nominee should present and answer questions from the Senate's Judiciary Committee. The Committee acts as a Representative Committee for the whole Senate, and if they approve (three-fifths are required), they send their vote to the entire Senate, this confirmation allows the President to appoint the nominee for federal judge.
