Answer:
Minutes are an official record of actions the board or committee took at a meeting, not a record of everything that was said. They serve a historical purpose, but just as important, they serve a legal purpose, documenting the group's adherence to the proper procedures and the association's bylaws.
Travis’ letter had an immense and immediate effect. Responding to the letter, 32 men arrived from Gonzales on March 1, 1836. Word of his letter spread quickly, first to New Orleans then onward to Boston and New York City. Yet with the Alamo located hundreds of miles from the U.S. border and a month from Washington, D.C., distance and terrain prevented most volunteers from arriving before the Alamo fell on March 6.
A fan of dramatic writing, Travis understood the power of words. He addressed his letter to “All Americans in the world” specifically to inflame their patriotic passions and rally them to his cause and that of Texas. In so doing, he transformed the Texas Revolution into an American fight for liberty against tyranny.
In Texas, many of the volunteers stirred by Travis’ letter formed the core of the army Sam Houston led to victory over Santa Anna on April 21, 1836. With his defeat, the Republic of Texas was born and a chain of events began that led to the Mexican War a decade later. U.S. victory in that war brought the American Southwest into the nation. Consequently, Travis’ letter shaped the destiny of America and the world.
The correct answer is C.
The Iron Curtain was the term used to refer to the border located in the middle of the European continent that divided Europe and the whole world into two areas, since the end of WWII in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991.
The territories located on the east of the Iron Curtain were the Soviet Union and its satellite states, or states under its influence. On the other hand, the states located on the west side of the border were democratic and capitalist countries, the US and its allies, and also neutral countries.
This term became popular during the Cold War era because Winston Churchill used it during a speech to refer to the division of the world in two sides.
