nikklg [1K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct answer is B. "New World" is how Europeans of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries referred to the continents of North and South America.

Explanation:

The New World is a Eurocentric term used to describe the continents colonized by European mariners from 1492, that is, especially North and South America but often also Oceania and sometimes also Antarctica. According to this worldview, the Old World is Europe and parts of Africa and Asia.

The name comes from the early 16th century. The discovery of explorers by the Americas at the end of the 15th century greatly expanded the horizon of European geographers, who, prior to the discovery of America, believed that the world consisted of Africa, Europe, and Asia.

Northerner who "escaped" the North, and traveled South to help rebuild after the Civil War. A.) Carpetbagger B.) Sharecropper C.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

A.) Carpetbagger

Explanation:

"Carpetbagger" was the term used to refer to natural citizens of northern states who moved to some southern state, after the secession war, during the southern construction. The aim of the Carpetbaggers was to use reconstruction and the disadvantaged people of the south to make money, or to gain political influence through several different activities. As you may already know, the southerners were very resentful to the northerners after the war, which made it difficult for the Carpetbaggers to achieve their goals, but they had help from the "Scalawags" or are white southerners who cooperated with the northerners throughout reconstruction.
