History

Anit [1.1K]3 years ago

The confederates burned Richmond for strategic reasons:

1) The Union cannot use Richmond as a staging area. If Richmond became a staging area, it would have not only a moral effect on the Confederate troops, but also allow the Union to regroup and press the attack.

2) There were a large amount of resources that could not be transported away from Richmond on time. However, if the resources fell into the hands of the Union, it would have spelled a quicker defeat for the Confederates.

Why was each group of the french population growing increasingly unhappy during the 1780s?
ankoles [38]
The landed nobility grew increasingly unhappy with the amount of power that had been taken over by the royal throne over the years, reducing the authority of nobles in their own territories.  There also was tension between the older nobility of landowners and the newer "nobles of the robe," those who had been elevated to noble status by taking on positions for the royal government.

The bourgeoisie grew increasingly unhappy because they were afforded few political rights while paying much in taxes for the support of the nation.  They wanted a country that was better for business and enterprise, and for their voices to be counted in the political decisions of the country.

The city laborers and rural peasants were increasingly unhappy because they faced poverty and hunger, especially as bad harvests occurred in the late 1780s.  They also faced oppression by the superior classes and had duties imposed on them that those of higher rank could avoid.

Which of the following statements best describes how an Arizona citizen could influence local political decisions?
kipiarov [429]

Answer: .

Vote, voice an opinion at a city council meetings, or write to an elected leader

Explanation:

The question is about how an Arizona citizen could influence local political decisions.

Option A about voting every 4 years during the presidential election will not affect the local political decision but rather affects federal decision since voting for the president is at the Federal level.

Option B is about voting, voicing an opinion at a city council meetings, or writing to an elected leader. This shows that the decision being taken here will influence local politics. Here, the decision affects the lowest level of government which is at the local level.

Option C about accepting that nothing can be done and try to avoid being frustrated about local issues is wrong. Everyone has to role to play in governance and doing this won't impact positively on the local politics.

Subscribing to a news app, and watching the presidential debates or share political news on social media isn't influencing local political decisions in Arizona.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

pickupchik [31]
The system of money in America between 1776 and 1789 was a hodgepodge. It consisted of British, French, Continental, and Spanish currencies, and base metals or gold and silver. After Spain entered the war on the side of the United States, the standard currency became the Spanish dollar. Still, other currencies were accepted. After the war ended, The United States went on a gold standard and the government stopped issuing paper currency, but individual banks issued paper currency.
