Georgia [21]

George Washington was elected unanimously twice as the first president of America. He helped define the future role and authority of the office. He understood well that it is necessary to revive executive power in the country. He believed that the precedents he had to make was necessary for the republic to function, but did not intend to implement a dictatorship or a monarchy. He appointed the Cabinet, and proposed the main laws to the Congress, with the intention of the Presidency to be powerful. He spent a lot of time doing government jobs, organizing meetings with the public in the afternoon, as well as dinner with invited guests.

He wanted to spend time on his property, especially under the pressure of obligations and merciless journalists, and thus made the president's withdrawal into his homes, under pressure from the public, acceptable. He retired after eight years and thus set the precedent that the president could only serve two mandates. It was later broken by Roosevelt.

The right answer is He lived in the White House.

What evidence does zinn offer to support his assertion that "colonies, it seems, were societies of contending classes"? why is t

Roman55 [17]

In his book, A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn cites examples from US colonial history of the gap between rich and poor in colonial life.
A key study cited by Zinn examined tax registers from Boston, showing that the top 1% of the population held 25% of the wealth in 1687, and that by 1770, the top 1% of property owners in Boston owned 44% of the wealth. The study also noted that the bulk of Boston's population were not property owners. The percentage of adult males in Boston who owned no property doubled between 1687 and 1770 (from 14% to 29%).
Zinn cited additional items, regarding overcrowding of poorhouses (giving a notable example from New York) and a general increase throughout the colonies of the "wandering poor" who had no real means of support. He also cited examples of workers' strikes against employers in the colonies because of low wages.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The American Civil War lasted for just four years, from 1861 ñ 1865 and it is often also known as the War Between the States. It was the event where 11 Southern States that supported Slavery declared their succession from the United States, and announced the Formation of the Confederate States of America.

It chose at their leader Jefferson Davis, and they declared war on the remaining states in the United States, referred to as The Union.

The results of the Civil War was the decisive defeat of the Confederate States of America, and their eventual resumption of their status in the United States. The time period directly after the Civil War was known as the Reconstruction, a time marked by turmoil, violence and a lot of conflict and controversy. The Reconstruction Era was not a peaceful time, there were a large number of people

that tried to take advantage of the weakened South.

The biggest result was the end to Slavery. The 13th Amendment called for the abolishment of Slavery, and it was in support of President Lincoln’s Emancipation proclamation.

In addition, the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution were also passed by Congress and ratified by states, becoming law.

The 13th Amendment effectively made law the ending of slavery across the United States. The 14th Amendment was enacted that said that Federal Legal Protection is available to all United States citizens, regardless of what race, color or creed they are. This was a new policy and came as part of the aftermath and results of the Civil War.

Finally, the last Amendment to the Constitution that was a result of the Civil War was the 15th Amendment. The 15th Amendment abolished all restrictions on voting and said that all U.S. Citizens would be able to vote no matter what race they were.

Despite the ending of the Civil War 1865, it took another 12 years for most states to successfully make the transition back into the United States.

This aftermath is called the Reconstruction, and most historical scholars agree that the Reconstruction was ended finally by the Compromise of 1877, when Federal Troops were removed from the South and Rutherford B. Hayes was elected as U.S. President.
