The Vietnam War. It was a long debate over lowering the voting age from 21 to 18, which began during World War II and only intensified during the Vietnam War when young men who were practically being heavily obligated and sometimes forced/drafted to fight for their country were being denied the right to vote. 
“Old enough to fight, old enough to vote” became a common slogan for a youth voting rights movement, and in 1943 Georgia<span> became the first state to lower its voting age in state and local elections from 21 to 18.</span>

Eduardwww [97]

Depends on your view, this is an opinion-based question, so there is no right or wrong answer.

Here is my opinion: I think that the U.S should have declared war to Mexico. First, I believe that Texas was a territory that belonged to the U.S, as Mexican General Antonio Lopez signed a treaty that gave the U.S the right to annex Texas. Furthermore, most people that lived in Texas wanted to be part of the United States. Like democracy given to those in the Kansas-Nebraska territory years later, to decide whether they should be a free state or a slave state, the people should decide what they want to do with their state.

Second, I hold the view that the war is rational because expansionism is done in peaceful ways, but Mexico refused to be peaceful and immediately resorted to war. President James Polk wanted to expand the U.S, but Mexico refused to give up Texas. Today, we have Texas as a result of this war.

fgiga [73]

The continent of Africa benefitted least from the Columbian Exchange. Despite receiving goods, weapons, and other valuable resources from Europe, millions of Africans were enslaved. The enslavement of Africans caused significant damage to the social and economic structure of the continent.

Europe benefitted the most from the Columbian Exchange. This continent received foods that became staples in their diet including potatoes. Along with this, Europeans also recieved tobacco from the New World. Tobacco was a popular substance used by Europeans due to this trade. Lastly, European countries got to spread their power to a completely new continent, allowing them to gain new natural resources never seen before.
