History

Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
4 0

<u>The Roman empire started well but eventually shrank when Nero was in power. </u>

Nero was very young when he became a Roman emperor. <u>He started out well </u>by reducing taxes, allowing slaves to sue unfair owners, prohibiting capital punishment, helping Jews and providing assistance to cities that were struggling from disasters.

<u>However, Nero was known as being one of the worst and craziest emperors</u>; he was quite deranged, had many people killed, terrorized those who dared challenge him and even had his own mom killed. He, also, launched tremendously expensive building projects that cost a huge price in taxes.

<u>At the end, Rome was totally unsatisfied</u> and the Senate had declared he was a public enemy, which meant that anyone could kill him without facing punishment. Scared, Nero ran away leaving the Roman Empire <u>with no leader and no heirs</u>. Within a year, many generals rose up and tried to take over Rome until a general named Vespasian successfully took it and became the emperor.

How did the Dred Scott decision impact American society?.
Alex_Xolod [135]

The Abolitionists were incensed by the Dred Scott Decision because they believed that it would put an end to discussion over slavery in the American territories.

The Confederate States of the America were established after the southern states seceded from the Union as a result of the growing rift between the North and South over slavery. One Georgia newspaper proclaimed that "the Southern opinion on the subject of Southern slavery is now the paramount law of the land." As a result, the Dred Scott decision heightened tensions and brought the nation closer to the start of the American Civil War (1861–65).

Explain the political rise of Abraham Lincoln
Inessa [10]
Lincoln's political rise is one of the most interesting stories in American history.  When Lincoln first entered into politics at the age of 23, he was seen as being ill-prepared to hold office and, moreover, lacking in charm in education.  <span> Over time, his intelligence, good humor, and ability to connect with votes lead him to gain greater political clout.  Before 1856, Lincoln's political offices consisted mostly of service in the Illinois General Assembly and one term in Congress. In 1856 he joined the new Republican Party.  Two years after that he ran for the U.S. Senate, making a name for himself in debates. By 1860 he became the first Republican candidate to win a presidential election.</span>
