Answer:

The Roman fleet was dominant so Hannibal had to go overland.

Explanation:

the Carthaginians did not have a stronger navy than Rome. The First Punic War had effectively annihilated the Carthaginian fleet, and they were forced after the war to severely limit the size of their naval forces, which they did anyway under the influence of Hanno and other anti-war politicians who didn't want to risk another scrap with Rome. Related to that is the fact that Rome had seized Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica after the war, so that any naval passage to Italy would've had some serious trouble getting through all those naval bases (the fact that the Carthaginians were later barely able to transport a few thousand cavalry and some elephants to Hannibal by sea, despite the panic that Rome was in, shows just how difficult it was for the Carthaginian fleet).

Bypassing Roman and allied land garrisons and Roman naval dominance, Hannibal managed to lead his Carthaginian army over the Alps and into Italy to take the war directly to the Roman Republic.

The Carthaginian general Hannibal led his army, including dozens of war elephants, on an epic march across the Pyrenees, through France, and over the Alps into Italy. For 15 years, Hannibal and his army moved across Italy, winning battle after battle which surprised Rome.

Why do sociologists find the study of family to be so important when trying to grasp the mores and norms of a culture?
algol [13]

Answer:

Families provide for each other as well as carry out and teach a particular culture to other members of the family.

Explanation:

The sociology of the family is the study of families as a central study of social life. A family, according to sociologists, plays an important role in teaching and carrying out cultural values to its members.

<u>The sociologists study the family as they understand that every family possesses some cultural values, that to some extent are similar yet so different from each other. When a couple is married, they bring their own cultural values, that they learned in their families, into their marriage and passing those values to their children</u>.

That is why for sociologists the study of family is important.

Explanation:

The 15th Amendment, granting African-American men the right to vote, was adopted into the U.S. Constitution in 1870. Despite the amendment, by the late 1870s discriminatory practices were used to prevent African Americans from exercising their right to vote, especially in the South.
