Answer:

One of the main characteristics of the Roosevelt Corollary was that the United States would act as a police officer in the Western Hemisphere.

Explanation:

The Roosevelt Corollary was announced on December 6, 1904 by President Theodore Roosevelt in his annual message to the Congress as a supplement to the Monroe Doctrine.

With the Corollary, Roosevelt decisively changed the previous interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine. If the latter had only rejected the European powers' right to intervene on the American continent, Roosevelt additionally postulated an explicit arbitration function by the United States, combined with an intervention right in the case of intra-American conflicts. Even if the United States had intervened repeatedly in conflicts in other American states before 1904, this was not clearly compatible with the original content of the Monroe Doctrine, according to which the American states were supposed to clarify their affairs on their own. Earlier interventions by the United States had therefore always met with vehement resistance in their own country. President Roosevelt broke with a long tradition of isolationism in American foreign policy, and was accused of acting against the requirements of the Constitution, breaking international law and pursuing a militaristic and imperialist foreign policy.

Explain how colonial leaders used the Boston Massacre to their advantage, and how the British actions in this period brought the
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Explain how colonial leaders used the Boston Massacre to their advantage:The event was used as propaganda to drum up support against the British. ... How did the Boston Tea Party challenge British rule? Colonists defied the order to unload the tea by throwing it overboard so that it could not be unloaded or sold for profit

how the British actions in this period brought the colonists together in resistance:

When the French and Indian War finally ended in 1763, no British subject on either side of the Atlantic could have foreseen the coming conflicts between the parent country and its North American colonies. Even so, the seeds of these conflicts were planted during, and as a result of, this war. Keep in mind that the French and Indian War (known in Europe as the Seven Years' War) was a global conflict. Even though Great Britian defeated France and its allies, the victory came at great cost. In January 1763, Great Britain's national debt was more than 122 million pounds [the British monetary unit], an enormous sum for the time. Interest on the debt was more than 4.4 million pounds a year. Figuring out how to pay the interest alone absorbed the attention of the King and his ministers.

Cantonment of the forces in North America, 11 October 1765

The American Revolution and Its Era, 1750-1789

Nor was the problem of the imperial debt the only one facing British leaders in the wake of the Seven Years' War. Maintaining order in America was a significant challenge. Even with Britain's acquisition of Canada from France, the prospects of peaceful relations with the Native America tribes were not good. As a result, the British decided to keep a standing army in America. This decision would lead to a variety of problems with the colonists. In addition, an uprising on the Ohio frontier - Pontiac's Rebellion - led to the Proclamation of 1763, which forbade colonial settlement west of the Allegany Mountains. This, too, would lead to conflicts with land-hungry settlers and land speculators like George Washington (see map above).

British leaders also felt the need to tighten control over their empire. To be sure, laws regulating imperial trade and navigation had been on the books for generations, but American colonists were notorious for evading these regulations. They were even known to have traded with the French during the recently ended war. From the British point of view, it was only right that American colonists should pay their fair share of the costs for their own defense. If additional revenue could also be realized through stricter control of navigation and trade, so much the better. Thus the British began their attempts to reform the imperial system.

In 1764, Parliament enacted the Sugar Act, an attempt to raise revenue in the colonies through a tax on molasses. Although this tax had been on the books since the 1730s, smuggling and laxity of enforcement had blunted its sting. Now, however, the tax was to be enforced. An outcry arose from those affected, and colonists implemented several effective protest measures that centered around boycotting British goods. Then in 1765, Parliament enacted the Stamp Act, which placed taxes on paper, playing cards, and every legal document created in the colonies. Since this tax affected virtually everyone and extended British taxes to domestically produced and consumed goods, the reaction in the colonies was pervasive. The Stamp Act crisis was the first of many that would occur over the next decade and a half.

For additional documents related to these topics, search Loc.gov using such key words as Stamp Act, Indians, western lands, colonial trade, navigation, and the terms found in the documents. Another strategy is to browse relevant collections by date.
