In designing his new calendar, Caesar enlisted the aid of Sosigenes, an Alexandrian astronomer, who advised him to do away with the lunar cycle entirely and follow the solar year, as did the Egyptians. The year was calculated to be 365 and 1/4 days, and Caesar added 67 days to 45 B.C., making 46 B.C. begin on January 1, rather than in March.

Describe the demographic trend of the united states during the early 1940s?
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

To outline racial and ethnic groups, demographers depended on the U.S. decennial census and annual Current Population Surveys (CPS). To calculate marriage, fertility, and mortality rates, demographers use the national vital statistics records of births, marriages, and deaths. Estimates of internal migration come from the U.S. Bureau of the Census (USBC), and estimates of international migration come from the Immigration and Naturalization Services and USBC.

Explanation:

Population size is determined by three principal metrics of demography: mortality, fertility, and migration. Racial and ethnic differences in rates of one or more of these metrics cause the racial composition of the nation to change. Recently, international migration and higher fertility rates among some racial and ethnic groups have been the sole contributors to the nation’s population growth and changing composition.

Historical Trends

The racial and ethnic composition of the more than 265 million U.S. residents is 1 percent American Indian, 3 percent Asian, 11 percent Hispanic, 12 percent Black, and 73 percent White (Deardorff and Hollmann, 1997)—quite different than it was 50 years ago, and projected to be different 50 years from now.

What is the democratic party and how does it relate to andrew jackson?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The Democratic Party was the party of slavery, and is the party of unequal treatment based on race, rather than equal opportunity based on merit.

Explanation:

Andrew Jackson was related to the Democratic Party, as it was widely known with it's history of impeding on people's rights based on skin-color or national origin. He also was the embodiment of many of the beliefs of the Democratic Party. Firstly, he embraced the usage of slavery, and was a ardent holder of slaves. The Democratic Party had always worked for keeping the institution of slavery as a means of not only workforce and profit, but also as a way to degrade "non-whites" into being second-class humans, (also commonly known as sub-humans). Piggy-backing off of the issue of slavery, Jackson also campaigned against many of the Native American tribes that were located to the west of the then-US, starting wars and taking lands from the defeated Native American tribes. Again, the Native American tribes were classified as sub-humans, and did not receive any benefits that would generally be implied to a white-US citizen.

This led to the unpopularity of Jackson within the Whig-Republican circles, and he was succeeded by Martin van Buren.
