Answer:

The correct answer is D. Harper's Ferry, Virginia, was significant in the antebellum era because it was the site of a failed slave rebellion in October of 1859.

Explanation:

On October 16, 1859, the radical abolitionist John Brown led an attack on the Harper's Ferry arsenal: he hoped to seize weapons to use it to arm slaves in the south and thus unleash an uprising. Marines under Col. Robert E. Lee's command helped the local militia to overpower Brown and his men. Brown was tried by the state of Virginia for treason, sentenced to death and hanged in nearby Charles Town.

Why might the Allies have allowed the Soviet Union to join them when they knew full well about Stalin's tactics
SIZIF [17.4K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Allies allowed the Soviet Union to join them when they knew full well about Stalin's tactics because Great Britain and France really knew that they alone, could not stop Hitler's troops from invading France and then the British territory.

Winston Churchill and Charles De Gaulle knew that although Joseph Stalin was a tyrant and a dictator, he ruled over a great land with supplies and had the kind of strong men in its army that could be of great help to contain the Germans.

That is how, the three allies with the help of the United States army, could devise a plan to retake North Africa to invade through Italy (the Axis troops had occupied North Africa), invade France from Britain and Germany from the Soviet Union. Once done that, the United States Navy with the help of the Allies could attack and defeat Japan in the Pacific.

olganol [36]

Answer

Specific things that surprise about the legal restrictions on African Americans in the antebellum period were;

• Blacks in the southern parts who were free continued to live under slavery

• Freed African American actively participated in the American society like joining soldiers

• Free blacks purchased slaves that were relatives

• African Americans also participated in attaining freedom of others

  • Slaves could not marry under the southern law

Explanation

During this period slavery and cotton were the main drivers of the southern economy. The slaves were undergoing arbitrary power abuse from the whites. Through coping family structures and community networks slaves developed a way of accommodating their conditions. Christianity and songs also helped slaves to develop a solace. Slaves utilized the idea of paternalism to find chances in the system and earn some freedom and autonomy.
