<em>Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, </em>decided by the US Supreme Court in 1954, extended civil liberties to all Americans in regard to access to education. Until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.  An older Supreme Court decision, <em>Plessy v. Ferguson </em>(1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.  In the case of <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em>, that standard was challenged and defeated.  Segregation was shown to create inequality, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.   After the <em>Brown v. Board of Education </em>decision, there was a struggle to get states to implement the new policy of desegregated schools, but eventually they were compelled to do so.

Which statement accurately describes an important effect of the columbian exchange on indigenous peoples in the Americas
tresset_1 [31]

Group of answer choices.

A. Huge numbers of indigenous peoples were wiped out by European diseases.

B. Indigenous peoples embraced the Catholic Church and became its most powerful leaders.

C. American empires became more powerful than ever by using European weapons.

D. Violence committed by Christians led many indigenous peoples to become devout Muslims

Answer:

A. Huge numbers of indigenous peoples were wiped out by European diseases.

Explanation:

Christopher Columbus was a very popular Italian voyager, navigator and explorer who completed four voyages (1492–93, 1493–96, 1498–1500, and 1502–04 respectively) across the Atlantic Ocean. Columbus was born to a wool merchant in 1451 in Genoa, Italy and he died 20th of May, 1506 in Valladolid, Spain. ​

Columbus wanted to reach Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In his thinking, he thought going through that route (Atlantic Ocean) was a more direct way to get to Asia by water.

On a related note, the Columbian Exchange was named after the very popular voyager and explorer, Christopher Columbus. Columbian Exchange is also referred to as the Columbian Interchange and typically involved the widespread movement of commodities, plants, technology, cultures, diseases, people and animals across West Africa, the Atlantic, America and the Old world (Europe, Asia, and Africa) as far back as in the 15th and 16th century.

The most likely impact of the Columbian Exchange was the transfer of diseases, ideas, and livestock from Europe to the Americas.

Some examples of the animals transferred from Europe to the Americas are goats, sheep, cattle, chickens, rats and pigs. The diseases transferred from Europe to the Americas, for which they had no immunity include typhoid, cholera measles, and smallpox.

Hence, an important effect of the columbian exchange on the indigenous people in the Americas was that, a huge number of indigenous peoples were wiped out by European diseases.

What unexpected event following the French Revolution does this cartoon illustrate?
qwelly [4]

3. The French Revolution eventually led to a military dictatorship

Explanation:

One of the watershed events of the world’s history, the French Revolution, revolutionized France during 1789 to 1790s.  

Initially spread as a widespread upheaval against the French monarchy under King Louis XVI, with the rise of the Third Estate, the revolution gained strength, led to the declaration of Rights of Man and the Citizen; however, later turned radical and ended in the reign of terror.  

With the execution of Robespierre, the President of the National Convention, the Reign of Terror came to end.  

This again led to a lot of frustration among people which made the young and determined Army General Napoleon Bonaparte stage the coup d’etat which was the military coup that overthrew the Directory.

Napoleon with his dictatorial powers became the first consul of France and then in 1804 became the French emperor and brought France under his sole military dictatorship rule .
